Tunisia
Djerba-Zarzis
Fantastic conditions
“Why doesn’t anyone kite kite here?” We thought to ourselves as we stood on the beach, looking at the turquoise water and were thrilled by the sight alone.
A huge, seemingly endless lagoon with standing area, constant wind, perfect flat water, sand banks, islands with flamingos and channels to kite along, offers a unique playground for all skill levels - and the perfect location for our kite camp in Tunisia.
We chose a hotel complex in the town of Zarzis as the home base for our kite camp. From there we have perfect access to the huge lagoon that lies between the island of Djerba and the mainland.
Regardless of whether you beginner or are already advanced kitesurfer, you can expect optimal conditions for your individual needs. Unlimited coaching and guided downwinders make our kite camp in Tunisia an unforgettable adventure.

A single, incredibly large lagoon
We kite in Zarzis, the closest town on the mainland to Djerba. The lagoon is right in between. With a constant side-on shore wind from the northeast, you can expect between 16 and 25 knots almost daily.
When we saw the lagoon for the first time, we were surprised because we weren't expecting it. Several kilometers in size, with standing area and shallow water. In between there are islands where thousands of birds and a few flamingos - apart from the birds, we are almost alone there.
The spot can be reached with a shuttle service from the hotel in 10-15 minutes.
Hotel right on the beach with full board
For our stay we chose the 4-star hotel “Odyssee”, with beautiful facilities, about ten minutes by car from our kite spot. You can choose between double rooms (with separate beds) or single rooms.
Since we spend most of our time at the spot, we have full board in the accommodation and are provided with rich buffets in the morning and evening. We don't have to worry about anything, apart from: ...to the buffet again or not? At Kitebeach we can organize and have fruit and sandwiches delivered if required.
If we take a break from kiting, we can relax on the hotel's own beach or take part in the animation program. Aqua gym in the large pool? Here we are…
In the lagoon with sandy bottom, standing area and constant sideshore wind you can take your first steps or your first experiences on the kite or improve your level.
As soon as the air starts to move, we start towards the water, because practice is a very important factor to us. As long as you have energy and are not afraid of a sunstroke, you can stay on the water and work on your kite skills.
Of course, there are also various workshops with LakeUnited within a week that give you a comprehensive insight into the world of kitesurfing.
We cannot list the number of hours here, because you get full support from us this week. We design our program according to the circumstances. Since our goal is your maximum progress, you can look forward to a brilliant time with many successes.
LakeUnited's events are always educational. Because our goal is that you can take as much as possible with you.
We place great value on practice and can now look back on more than 15 years of training experience in kitesurfing. Nevertheless, we are constantly evolving by continuously revising our concepts.
After all, there is not just one way, because everyone learns differently and needs different inputs. In addition, one or the other may already have made mistakes that need to be specifically corrected
We use different approaches to improve your skills on the water and on the kite. We will hold several workshops and also offer video analyzes - if everything goes well, even with a projector in the evening. This has already proven itself many times! Because we love detailed work, we can draw your attention to little things that others don't even see. Often, just a few small changes lead to the desired success and you enjoy more fun and safety on the water.
In our high-quality kite lessons, we clearly see our strength in empathy and in working on a personal level. With empathy and a lot of fun, we will pick you up right where you are. This applies to beginners as well as professionals, after all, we have already trained some kite instructors in our academy.
You travel by plane to Djerba-Zarzis (DJE).
Tunis Air, Swiss Air and some package tour providers offer direct flights from the larger cities in Central Europe.
The transfer from the airport and back is included in the trip and is organized by us.
Duration of the transfer: app. 1 hour and 15 minutes
In our hotel we have full board and are provided with rich buffets in the morning and evening.
At Kitebeach we can organize and have fruit and sandwiches delivered if required.
For the duration of the camp we will be staying in a 4 star hotel in Zarzis with beautiful facilities, rich buffets and catering almost around the clock.
The hotel is located directly on the beach and has a large pool (note – reserve loungers well in the morning). We won't be able to use the hotel's offerings during the day much as we'll spend most of our time doing sports.
We take a shuttle to the spot, which is included in the camp price. If you need an individual shuttle on a daily basis, we can of course organize this (for an additional charge).
Whether strong or weak wind - we always have the right equipment for you! So you travel much more carefree, use a twint tip or a wave board and new kites from top brands like Flysurfer, Core, Ozone Harlem or Duotone and have more time on the water overall.
Good to know: Our equipment rental includes kites and boards. If you don't have your own harness or want to rent one, let us know. If you don't have your own wetsuit yet, we will be happy to advise you with buying one or support you with renting on site.
Travel/cancellation insurance:
Getting travel insurance is always a good idea. Although credit cards often come with insurance, these only cover a few services. Just take a look at your insurance coverage. As part of your booking you can also book travel insurance with our partner. Because just like on the water, the same applies when traveling: Safety First!
Equipment insurance:
With the VDWS Safety Tool you are insured in case of damage to rental equipment or, if requested, to your own equipment, too. It has saved us from stressy situations already many times, which is why we definitely recommend the VDWS Safety Tool! You can find more information here: http://safetytool.de/VY99056
Passport: To enter Tunisia, the passport must be valid for at least 6 months.
Visa: In Tunisia, entry is possible for up to 4 months without a visa
Change money: It is not necessary to change money in advance. A lot of things can be paid in euros, but there are also ATMs on site.
Internet: The hotel offers (moderately fast) internet plans. However, it is recommended to get a SIM card upon entry or an e-SIM in advance.
How much time do we spend on the water?
We are known for getting the most out of it and do not stick to fixed course times. You can kite for as long as you want, can or until the sun goes down.
How are the groups adapted to my level?
The group is supervised by a total of 3 coaches (if the camp is fully booked). In this way, we can group the participants into homogeneous groups according to their level and address their current level and individual goals.
I eat vegetarian/vegan, is that possible there?
Vegetarian is no problem. Vegan is also possible (with restrictions), but we cannot guarantee the content of some dishes. To be on the safe side, we recommend taking vegan food with you.
Do I need a wetsuit?
We recommend a 3/2 wetsuit or a shorty
Do I have to wait at the airport or does the transfer take place straight away?
You will be picked up as soon as you arrive and you don't have to wait or stick to certain times.
How does it work with (mobile) internet?
It's best to get a SIM card when you enter the country (airport) or an E-SIM in advance.
Can my partner (not a kiter) come with me too?
Yes, of course.
