Overall, a fantastic experience. Instructors were great, the price was reasonable, and the location was fantastic. I recommend using their driving service as it was affordable and the journey could be confusing. Also, wear a long sleeve shirt!

I had the best experience with Airlift Kiteboarding in Isla Blanca and can only recommend that you don't miss out on that fabulous spot if you like the sport and/or would like to learn it!
Whether you are a beginner or already have some experience with kitesurfing, you'll be in good hands with Danny, who is patient, calm, professional and just the nicest guy. He'll always use the appropriate terms and examples to make you understand what you need to do to get going and improve. I felt secure all the time and highly appreciated, that Danny adapted the size of the kite according to the wind during the lesson so that I could make the most benefit of my stay and progress fast.
The spot is just awesome (be prepared for a bumpy ride to get there though, the road needs some improvement ;-)), during my 3 day lesson, there were only few kiters on the water which is definitely a huge advantage when you are beginner and don't control everything you do. The water is shallow, warm and sandy, no rocks to hurt yourself.
Organization upfront was super easy and efficient, Danny replied fast and gave me all the necessary information which made me comfortable to book my lessons with him. He organized the transfer from my resort to the spot, the driver Toño was punctual and very friendly which made the ride to and from the spot really pleasant.
Danny, thanks a lot for having made me improve so much in 3 days, will definitely come back to see you if I have the chance to come back to Cancun!

I would highly recommend Airlift kiteboarding if you are a kiter on vacation in Cancun looking to rent gear or wanting to learn! I just rented gear since I didn't want to fly my stuff from Seattle, and Daniel was really helpful in setting up transportation from my hotel to Isla Blanca, is a really nice guy, and had high quality gear to rent fore a great price. Isla Blanca is also an incredibly beautiful place and perfect for learning, and the other reviews on here speak to how great of a teacher he is. Highly recommend making a trip to Isla Blanca with Airlift!

These guys are great! We had a great expereince in Isla Blanca. The shallow water made learning a lot easier. Daniel and the team were very helpful and respectful. One of our crew who had never flown a kite was up and riding after three days almost ready to go solo!
Thanks for the support and working with our crew, helping us arrange transportation and getting us out on the water! We had a blast it was a great change of pace from the all inclusive resort.

I was visiting Cancun area from San Francisco and came across Dan from google search. I met him at the Isla Blance location and it was the best place I’ve ever kited!
I am a fairly experienced kiteboarder, but it being a new location I decided to sign up for a lesson with Dan. After reaching there, I started with a smaller kite but had to change for bigger ones a few times. Danny and Enrique helped sort it all out pretty smoothly.
Eventually, my session turned out to be amazing and Dan just charged me for a rental as I was doing my own thing independently all the time, even though I had signed up for a lesson. This shows his customer first approach and I appreciate that.
I’ll definitely be visiting again :)

Did a 4 hour lesson with Danny and had a great time! 10 of out 10 would recommend for anyone looking to take up the sport or increase their skills. The airlift kiteboarding team set me up with private transportation, a great location, great gear, and lessons tailored to my skill level. Came away with more skills and more confidence. Planning on visiting again!

I was in Cancun for a wedding, and as you might expect my days were packed and unpredictable. But I really wanted to learn kiteboarding. I'd taken one lesson before, but only a crash course (no pun intended) with very little technical instruction. Airlift stayed as flexible and open as they possibly could to accommodate my schedule. I was able to get two 3 hour lessons (I wanted to do more), and felt clear and gradual progress with every drill and instruction. They even provide transportation for a little extra, Antony is an awesome dude and navigates the rough Cancun roads with expertise. The location is phenomenal, beautiful, and much less crowded than other sites we passed.
Daniel was my instructor. He is a natural teacher and quickly assessed what I had learned and not learned previously, and started from there. At the end of the first day, I had gotten up on the board a few times and was starting to feel like all the punishment of the previous 2 hours had been worth it. The next day we got right back after it, and I felt like I was really able to grow as a rider, all to Daniel's credit (Kiteboarding did not come naturally to me).
My only regret is that I wasn't able to do one more lesson. 3 more hours would have taught me self-rescue, gotten me more comfortable heading into the wind, and prepared me for independent riding.
I can't recommend Airlift enough. Thank you for the great lessons!

I would highly recommend to anyone looking to get into kitesurfing or someone wanting to advance their skills. The location, the wind, the water temps and depth with a sandy bottom make for pretty much the perfect spot to learn. I wouldn't have imagined I would be on a board within the first few hours. These guys rock! It's super laid back, not all built up and touristy. This is the real deal and a super special spot.. . Infact don't tell your friends, keep this our little secret. I will definitely be heading back!

With long warm sandy shallows, Isla Blanca may be one of the best places in the world to learn kiteboarding. We were complete novices to the sport. Danny and Enrique patiently taught us the basic mechanics and safety progressions of kiteboarding and then moved us to the water where we learned sail control and body management. By the end of our first lesson I could consistently do a controlled body drag (a crucial skill progression) and I had my start sequence down; My son did even better and got up on the board sailing. Kiteboarding is a complex sport and I considered this amazing progress attributed to excellent location and instruction.

First time kiteboarding in Cancun and it was perfect! Daniel was a fantastic instructor and the location couldn't be better. I had already done some classes in other places, but the tips that he gave me were just what I needed to start riding comfortably upwind. My father also had his first kiteboarding class here, after seeing me have so much fun out there the first day! Highly recommend Airlift Kiteboarding Cancun.

I’m travelling to Cancun between Dec. 5th and leaving on the 17th. It’s been about 3 years since I last Kiteboarded at Cape Hatteras North Carolina at Real Sports. I’m still a beginner but able to ride down and upwind with someone giving me lessons. Please let me know if I can take lessons from you? Should I bring my Kite, harness, etc. Or do you provide equipment? What size kite is good to use? Please let me know more details? Do you do private lessons and use a jet ski. My email is Best regards, Harley Rodin
