ADDICTION
ON EARTH
Once hooked there is no going back.
Welcome to Aquaholics Kite & Surf Zanzibar. A crew of ocean lovers who love what they got themselves into.
We are Brad and Steffi - and like every Aquaholic, it started with one session we couldn’t stop thinking about.
What began as a surf school in 2014 grew into a full watersports centre on Paje Beach, kite school, two locations, and a community of people who came for a week and started planning their return before they even flew home.
These days you might not spot us on the beach every morning - but we’re still very much here, running things from behind the scenes. What we’ve put our energy into is building the right team. Managers and instructors who share the same obsession we do, who genuinely love this ocean, and who care about your experience the way we always have.
We’re not a resort programme or a franchise. We’re two people who fell hard for this island, built something real here, and refuse to let anyone represent Aquaholics who doesn’t feel it the same way.
Welcome to Aquaholics Zanzibar, where the water’s warm, the wind’s consistent. And we’ve been waiting for you.
Seriously good instructors who never recovered either
The Aquaholics team is made up of certified kite and surf professionals from Tanzania and around the world. Multiple languages, all levels covered, and a shared obsession with the Indian Ocean that frankly got out of hand years ago. Every instructor is hand-picked by Brad and Steffi - not just for their skills on the water, but for the energy they bring to your experience. Because your first session should feel like the beginning of something, not just a tick on a travel itinerary.The Aquaholics Journey

Организация всех процессов на высшем уровне! Честные (не смогла пойти на тренировку, без проблем вернули деньги). Однозначно рекомендую!
В этой школе работают профессионалы и очень позитивные люди.
Искренне желаем успехов и процветания.
Елена и Жорж из Москвы!
Ryan a une approche très pédagogique du surf, avec de vrais conseils et il fait tjs attention à l’état de tout le monde dans l’eau.
Merci également à votre super collègue qui a surfe avec nous deux jours dont le nom me manque ! Je recommande vivement cette école de surf
The instructors were super cool, patient and always happy to answer every question. You could really feel that they love what they do, which made the whole experience relaxed and fun.
And to top it off, there were snacks (chapatis!) at the end.
Absolute recommendation if you’re in Zanzibar and want to try surfing.
