Holbox is a small sand bar island just off the North Coast of the Yucatan peninsula. Its surrounded by beautiful shallow waters protecting it from big waves giving us ideal teaching conditions in our two main spots. Kite beach gives us flat water in the lagoon and very light chop outside. Punta Mosquito is a 30km long virgin beach that you'll only share with other kiters and turtles. HKS know Holbox and its Kite spots like no other. We've been teaching in Holbox since 2005. We chose this spot for our school due to its epic learning conditions. Shallow flat water, no waves and space to learn. Our spots are not crowded. We specialize in private classes, our priority is that you enjoy your progression in a safe environment at your own pace, be that fast or slow. We've our own water taxi and rescue/teaching boats to make sure we can get you to the best conditions on the day.
