Established in 2003 - H2o-Extreme was Kenya’s first ever kite surf school on the South Coast , and one of the first in East Africa.

We are lucky enough to call Galu Beach, Diani our home spot - it has been voted Africa’s leading beach destination for the sixth time in a row and persuades with endlessly long and white sand beaches and the most spectacular turquoise coloured Indian Ocean, plus its consistent trade winds during the Kaskazi (December-March) and Kuzi (Mid June-early September) windy seasons.

WHY DIANI BEACH KENYA?

  • The weather along Kenya’s coast excels with all-year-around tropical and warm temperatures. The average air temperature is around 30 degrees, water temperature about 26 degrees. This allows a wetsuit-free water sports vacation, however, we recommend to pack long lycras and strong sun cream to protect yourselves against the relentless equatorial sun.

  • Beyond Kenya’s incredible coastline awaits a vast range of things to do! Visit iconic national parks on safari, or steep yourself in culture and the vibrant city of Nairobi.

  • Say goodbye to wetsuits, and hello to the warm Indian Ocean!
