Best Adult Paddle School In Cartagena Near Me

Jonny West: Me and my girlfriend had an incredible time with Andrés (SUP) and Carlos (sunset kayak). Although I don't speak much Spanish, Andrés was very patient and spoke very good english himself, and Carlos was also a great communicator when it came to giving instructions. It was a very good set up in a very nice location and they were both very attentive all 4 times we were with them. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!We would 100% go to them again if we were ever back in Cartagena!

Michal Korzen: I recommend this Kayak rental agency. I was surprised by quality of the equipment and all additional stuff provided: additional storage bag, emergency oar, rudder, ..... Everything good quality. Plus the owner was willing to give be necessary tips on my trip. 🤗

HISTORY TRAVELERS: Excelente servicio y acompañamiento en el tour kayak sunset. Felicitaciones a Andrés y el equipo 👏

Diana Misita: My family and I enjoyed a beautiful sunset paddle board experience. Andres was great. I would use him again if we go back.

Haihua Zhao: Really good experience! I did the sun set paddle boarding and I loved it. Highly recommended!

J. A. Abad: Una gran experiencia. Andrés y Einer fueron muy amables y pacientes. Lo recomiendo sin dudas. Uno queda con ganas de volver.

Andrew Kalter: Great experience renting two kayaks on March 28, 2022. Andres was very knowledgeable and helpful to get us going. He had all the proper gear for true ocean kayaking including an extra paddle, tow rope, pump, etc. Very nice boats with rudders that moved pretty fast. Just a word of caution, if you are not experienced in the ocean and getting through the surf you may want to take a group tour. I think anyone who is a whitewater kayaker should be okay but you need to know the waves and wind if you go many miles from the start.

Juan Sebastián Monroy Ortiz: Excelente, fuí en plan pareja y nos encantó, se siente la aventura y tienes un punto de vista diferente a lo habitual

Ruben Lopez: I did the 360 Tierra Bomba all day tour and it was by far the best thing I did in Cartagena. If you like outdoor activities this is a must do when you visit this beautiful city. Our guide Andres was very nice, made my girlfriend and I feel safe and comfortable at all times. Next time I'm in town for the holidays I will be booking a multi-day trip for sure.

Taira Pintro: Had an amazing time paddle boarding during the sunset. Andy was an amazing and informative instructor. He was patient and even told us some history about the city in both Spanish and e globs while we paddled. Would definitely recommend to everybody, and will be coming back for the next water adventure

Arturo García: The best, m

Thierry Baudry: Superbe centre multisport (windsurf, kayaks, wingfoil, paddle, etc...) dirigé par un champion de windsurf et de wingfoil. Super ambiance, bar sympa avec pizzas et cévichés. Le centre est directement sur le spot de kitesurf ou Roger vous aidera à gréer et lever votre matériel. Une super découverte d'un endroit où l'on aime rester à boire un verre entre nouveaux amis après les sessions.

Andres Gil: A good place to do activities, the guides are excellent at what they do, they make the activities very enjoyable, 100% recommended

Arsa Longa: I had wonderful experience with windspot, especially with their famous surfing instructor andy! andy is lovely instructor, very patient and considerate. he was teaching my husband and myself few times and it was so much fun. moreover inspired by small successes I also tried out paddling during sunset. it was so incredibly beautiful, definitely one of the highlights of my stay in cartagena ❤️I highly recommend the place if you are searching for water activities and especially strongly suggest to get in touch with andy. he will make your caribbean experience definitely a highlight.he is also very gifted photographer and was also kind enough to click some pics during our lessons. so I have plenty of beautiful captures to share with family and friends. big thanx and will be looking forward to coming back to cartagena for more surfing with you!

Roland Esnis: After discussing with them on the phone, took a cab and went there on purpose on a windy day. A couple of guys there told me it was closed, although it was obviously not (the door was open, status “open” on internet), maybe because they were to lazy to prepare the equipment, maybe because the owner was busy riding…. If you’re looking for a good place for kitesurfing or windsurfing, you’d probably better find another one.

Valerie O: First time windsurfing and Andy made it an awesome experience. My spouse understands some Spanish but only to a certain extent, so he provided instructions in English and was very clear on what to do.I struggled to get the control and technique down, but Andy was very motivating and I got a smooth ride by the end! Another random windsurfer (tourist) observed and approached us during our session and commented that she could tell he was a good instructor and planned to sign her family up for a lesson.The lesson is along the beach where other people are leisurely swimming, but it didn't feel too crowded (it was a Wednesday).They have lockers for your belongings. There is a shower for a quick rinse (maybe not for a serious shower because of the not so great curtains).They have bathrooms.They have a bar area with seating.They have shop cats!I would definitely do this or any other water activity here again! Highly recommend!P.S. Windsurfing is a good workout!

Justine: Book with Windspot!! I spent 4+ hours on the water with Camilo over two days learning the fundamentals of wing foiling. I wasn’t expecting more than just rentals but Windspot was also a great place to hangout out before, after, and to take a break. They have a huge staff that are all involved to make sure you have a great experience. I wish I had more time on my vacation to go back a 3rd and 4th time. Whether you’re looking for paddle boarding, yoga, wing foiling, kite surfing, etc. definitely go to Windspot!

Roi Talbi: Christopher the tutor was really great 👍🏻

John Kay: Never have I seen such dangerous disregard for recreational swimmers and families!The guys that are trying to rent these jet skis to tourists frequently drive rapidly past swimmers bringing the smell of gasoline with them.My mother-in-law got doused with a wave created by some idiot driving by at higher than reasonable speed.We were swimming far from the shore and these jet skis are a constant lethal threat due to these guys driving at high speed with little regards for others.I doubt these guys have taken any boat safety classes or they just don't care about the safety of others.They are reckless and will cause death or serious bodily injury in the future (if they haven't already.)It is such a shame that Colombian officials don't regulate their waters better for the safety of all...I saw even worse conditions at Playa Blanca in Baru.Avoid Colombian beaches for your own safety!

Reinaldo Diaz: A magical place.

karinel diaz parra: It's good to have a good time, come and enjoy the good time that you have, bring a partner and use all the juices and yew that you want, always have a great time

Ligia Nasser: Wonderful place to learn a water sport, you can find a yoga teacher, a jacuzzi for 30 thousand per hour and if you want more, they'll give you a discount, beers, the beach and watch the sun go down, good prices and the service is excellent.

Carlos Manotas: Buen sitio para pasar una tarde

Joaquin Borja: Got there and the receptionist was really nice and professional. I got my jetski and one of the workers jumps on with me. I was thinking this was normal, but apparently not said the dude running the place. The worker tells me to head to a beach far away from the rental area, he then tells me he needs to get gas for the jetski. He let's me off the jetski and drives off where i can see what he was doing, he then opens the compartment where my wallet was and pretends like he was doing something. He didn't get gas. From then I knew he took money from me. He gets back and makes me drive to another beach where he hands off something to a friend, my money probably. We get back and I inform the people in charge and they confronted the worker. The person in charge told me thats why we tell people to put their items in the locker. Maybe your staff shouldn't steal smh.I doubt anything will happen to him. Overall they were nice except for that one worker who stole my money. Be safe with your items.

angela carrillo lozano: El servicio es muy bueno y la experiencia es excelente si quieres disfrutar del mar sin ningún ruido y con la mejor vista... El guía perseo es excelente....

Laureta Lahu: Had the most amazing time during the sunset paddleboard tour with Ricardo! Before we got in the water, he gave us very thorough but quick instructions on the correct way to paddle. He was very helpful, patient and kind. I had a waterproof phone case with me and he did not hesitate to take pictures of my boyfriend and I. The waves made it a little tough for us in the beginning, but he directed and instructed us the whole way! It became a whole lot easier a short while after we started. We stopped at an area with still water and he took wonderful pictures and videos of us. Memories we can keep forever! && When we returned to the WindSpot, he sat with us and recommended so many places and restaurants to see, in cartagena and even medellin. I was also a little burned from the sun the day before and he gave me an aloe leaf! 10000% would recommend the WindSpot and especially Ricardo as an instructor. We are so happy we found this place and extremely thankful for such a great experience. Try it out! You won’t regret it. Thank you to the WindSpot & a very very big thank you to Ricardo. 🤙♥️

Diana Luckysova - Sculptor and Artist: What a great Colombian business!💖 Super friendly and helpful stuff.We rented paddleboards and the three people who work there were just such sweethearts.Also the location is very nice with a beautiful bay and an easy access.

casper l: Amazing. The owner and staff are super friendly. Also Its very cheap compared to all other places on the playa and it has jacuzzi’s! I visites three times with in the 5 days I have been in Cartagena.

Samuel Basler: Ecos-spanishschool is a perfect place to improve your Spanish in Cartagena. Super relaxed and professional teachers. I took great advantage of my private classes. Five star school!Regards, Samuel

Lukas Baumgärtel: Danke für alles! Ich hatte eine wirklich gute Zeit in der Schule. Die Lehrer waren alle sehr motivierend und das Programm war sehr abwechselungsreich. Ich glaube , ich konnte mein Spanisch verbessern. 👍

Ramon Hegi: Sehr gute Schule um Spanisch zu lernen. Dank den superkompetenten Lehrerinnen kann ich nach zwei Wochen genug Spanisch zum rumreisen. Highlights waren die Kulturellen Aktivitäten, die Tanzkurse und am besten haben mir die Kochstunden gefallen.Danke für die tolle Zeit in Cartagena!

Faria 01082084: Olá,Minha experiência na Escola ECOS foi maravilhosa.Tudo poderia se limitar a competência acadêmica, mas claro, foi muito além disso.O ambiente é maravilhoso, todos extremamente simpáticos e amáveis, com dinâmicas e atividades extracurriculares que nos dão a oportunidade de conhecer a linda e maravilhosa Cartagena de Índias, sob o olhar de quem lá vive.Recomendo muito.Muito obrigado ECOS.Rodrigo e Ana Paula – Brasil.

Cees Crumb: I spent three weeks here, (one of them I stayed with a family) and have really enjoyed myself. Teachers and facilities that you would expect from a German accredited school. Staying with a family just added another dimension to the experience. They match you with a family that suits.The lessons were well structured and I enjoyed learning with my 3 other classmates. The extra curriculum activities were fun. I feel I understand South America a little better and especially this little corner of Colombia. Thank you Team ECOS

scott Woodward: I have had a really enjoyed my three weeks at Ecos-spanish school in Cartagena. I have learned so much in a short time. The teachers are very skilled and make learning fun. Having a basic skill of speaking and understanding Spanish has definitely made it easier and more interesting to travel in Colombia. Muchas gracias Victoria and Team!

Sigrid Rüffert: ECOS bietet eine sehr interessante Kombination von Sprach- und Tanzschule mit vielen interessanten zusätzlich angebotenen Aktivitäten über soziale Projekte, Sport, Sightseeing an. Der Unterricht ist sehr gut und auf individuelle Bedürfnisse abgestimmt, abwechslungsreich, lustig und mit großartigen Lehrern. Getsemaní und das historisches Zentrum können bequem zu Fuß erobert werden. Die Schule hat mir ermöglicht, innerhalb von 7 Tagen sehr viel zu lernen und viele sehr unterschiedliche Dinge erleben zu können. Darüber hinaus war die Gastfreundschaft meiner Gastfamilie überwältigend. Die dringen notwendige Versorgung von Grundschülern mit einfachstem Unterrichtsmaterial in einem Armenviertel im Rahmen eines Sozialprojektes und deren Verteilung vor Ort bei Señora Lorenza hat mich nachhaltig beeindruckt und mir einmal wieder vor Augen geführt, wie wichtig und unabdingbar es ist, mit einfachen und geringen Mitteln direkte Hilfe vor Ort zu leisten.

Aymen Gha: It was a pure pleasure. The whole team is amazing and I met many great students from different parts of the world. I highly recommend the dancing classes too. The school offers many extra group activities in the city. Charming people! I will be back in couple of months 😉

Jacqueline Z: A great place to learn Spanish! The staff is phenomenal.

Adam Poloczek: ECOS ist eine hervorragende Sprachschule. Die Schule habe ich Ende November 2022 für zwei Wochen besucht.Der Unterricht ist sehr gut und ich habe viel in der Zeit gelernt. Neben Unterricht gibt es noch zusätzliche Aktivitäten wie verschiedene Touren, Kochen, Tanzen oder Interaktionen.Bei der nächsten Möglichkeit werde ich an Schule weitermachen.Ich hatte eine großartige Zeit.Mucho gracias equipo ECOS

Engine Room: A fantastic experience. Three weeks of study and fun! I can’t thank the Team of teachers here enough for starting me on my Spanish journey 😁

steve: This is a very good spanish school.I spent a month there and had a wonderful time. The school is well organized. The staff is nice, the teachers are professionals, the activites very cool and always on time. I also had private dance lessons with Francis (una chica 😉 very kind).Something very nice is the air conditioning in the school because it can get really hot depending the time of the year.I decided to stay with a host family chosen by the school and it was clean and confortable and they were very nice.The localisation is perfect. 10 minutes walk and you're in the neighborhood of Getsemani with its magical atmosphere with bars and restaurants.So if you want to improve your spanish and live a cultural experience meeting other students from different countries, I recommend this school without hesitation.Steve, 52 from Canada.

Lucy Golding: I would highly recommend Ecos as your choice of school. The teachers are excellent and they take the time to make sure you fully understand what is being taught. There are free activities 3 times a week where you can learn more Spanish, find out about the local culture, and interact with other students. At the end of each week you have an interactive session with the other students, in which you play games to improve your vocabulary. If I ever come back to Cartagena I would definitely return to Ecos.

Adriana Frazao: Exelente escola!! Pessoal muito amável e atencioso!! Cuidam com muito carinho de todos! Professore nativos e com muita didática! Varias atividades extra classes variadas!! Escola perfeita!

Christoph Körner: Die Sprachschule befindet sich im Zentrum von Cartagena. Nah an der Altstadt und neben Getsemani. Die Lehrer sind alle sehr motiviert und man lernt in kurzer Zeit sehr schnell. Vorab gibt es einen Test, um das eigene Level festzustellen. Vormittags sind dann gemeinsame Stunden mit bis zu 4 anderen Schülern. Am Nachmittag wenn gewünscht dann Einzelunterricht. Super saubere Räumlichkeiten, tolle Aktivitäten 3x wöchentlich am Nachmittag und super Mitarbeiter. Klare Empfehlung an alle, die spanisch lernen wollen.

Ayako Dumont: Je suis actuellement en voyage de 6 mois en Amérique du sud et je souhaitais prendre une semaine de cours d'espagnol pour avoir quelques bases car je n'ai jamais appris auparavant. ECOS m'a donné quelques bases pour pouvoir ensuite apprendre plus sur le terrain.Les professeurs et les cours étaient top. Cependant je recommande ce programme plus pour ceux qui veulent apprendre l'espagnol avec un bonne base grammaticale et pas forcément pour être opérationnel rapidement.Merci à vous pour cette super semaine. C'était très cool !

Ju: Tolle Sprachschule! Es ist eine kleine und sehr familiäre Schule mit guten und motivierten Lehrern. Zu Beginn wird ein Einstufungstest gemacht und dann werde entsprechende Gruppen gebildet. Besonders gut haben mir die kulturellen Aktivitäten wie Bachata Kurs und Kochstunde gefallen. Freitags gab es für alle Schüler eine gemeinsame Stunde, die viel Spaß gemacht hat. Für deutsche Arbeitnehmer vielleicht noch interessant: die Schule wird für Bildungsurlaub anerkannt. Ich kann sie sehr empfehlen und komme bestimmt wieder!!

Andrea Castañeda Nomelin: I had a wonderful time at Ecos. Everyone was very kind and helped me with everything! Vale la pena!!!

Victoria Mestre: Excelent school. Professional teachers and you can take also dancing lesson, cooking lessons and one tour with your Spanish lessons.

Sha Taheri: Going to the Ecos spanishschool was the best thing we did. The staff are very professional and great teacher and as well very kind and caring. I could never imagine learning so much in only one week. Thank you so much everyone who works at Ecos. I highly recommend this school in Cartagena. It's worth going there just for this experience.In addition to the classes, everyday we had supplemental activities that supported our learning to speak Spanish and practice with local people. The family Ecos found for us to stay at was wonderful people. We live them and still keep in touch. They spent lots of time with us at meals and after school to practice our speaking skills. It was an amazing experience. Muchas gracias.

Jean Alba: Very kind. interest-free funds

Christopher Hoyt: 2 great dives with Diego! Snacks drinks and life vests provided aboard the boat. Booking was easy via their website. I was contacted immediately. I'm looking forward to coming back.

Jaume Flo Ros: Very friendly people and correct team. We dived in Barú but I was a bit disappointed, I had higher expectations after diving in Santa Marta, for the rest very good.

Jose Parra: The diving was very good, we met a spectacular reef.

Juan Andres Quintero Morantes: Regular.

Dinaluz Gelez: The best brand

Edwin Andrés Ospina Mejía: Good attention and has a good location.

Miguel Andres Briñez Pacheco: High quality beachwear

Fer Castillo: Very normal, the clothes, the fabric, everything is very synthetic, of course, you find cotton t-shirts! The store has nothing innovative, the customer service, if the staff that attends you is female, they are a little friendlier without being too much. If it's the staff, it's male, it's very security guard that all it does is make you feel like a thief when you enter here! There is no advice beyond what you ask, they are limited to; "There is and there is not!", there is no vocation of service!. It is my personal opinion but I feel that this store needs a total renovation, from what they sell to the concept of interior decoration!

Isabella Casas Agudelo: No longer exists

Marcelo Ordoñez: I found it closed

Yosi Shalev: חנות עם מלא פריטים מדהימים וחדישים ביותר, מומלץ מאוד! מחירים לא הכי זולים אבל עדיין שווה!

Leidy Laura Hilders Casseres: Brilliant

Rogelio Rincon: Good
