Whether you’re learning to kitesurf or looking to refine and progress your riding, the Cocos Signature Progression Tour offers one of the most supportive, immersive kiteboarding experiences in the world. This is a kite camp that has it all.
Flat-water lagoons, consistent trade winds, expert coaching and full rescue boat support — all delivered the Zephyr way.
The Cocos (Keeling) Islands has been at the heart of Zephyr Kiteboarding since 2005. It’s a destination we return to year after year for one simple reason: it works for everyone.
The same shallow, protected lagoon that helps beginners build confidence also gives experienced riders the space and consistency to progress, refine technique and push further.
What makes the Cocos Signature Tour special isn’t just the conditions. It’s how the experience is structured, supported and delivered.
This is why so many riders describe Cocos as the place where everything finally clicked.
Guests often tell us they progressed further here than they expected. Where confidence builds naturally, progression will flow.
Cocos offers a rare combination of natural conditions and logistical support that allows riders of all abilities to thrive.
Waist-deep, flat-water lagoon for learning and skill development
Consistent trade winds throughout the season
Protected riding areas with space to progress safely
Downwinders and exploration when conditions align
What really sets the Cocos Signature Tour apart is how all of this comes together — the location, the support, the people and the shared experience. If you’re curious what a Zephyr tour actually feels like day-to-day, we’ve captured it in a short video at the bottom of this page.
One of the defining features of the Cocos Signature Tour is the level of support.
From your first session to your last, the Zephyr team is there — on the beach, in the water and in the rescue boat — creating an environment where learning and progression happen naturally.
Daily briefings and session planning
Coaches riding alongside you
Ongoing feedback and encouragement
A team that celebrates every milestone, big or small
Even when you’re not on the water, you’re still learning. Conversations continue over meals, sunsets and shared experiences. This immersion is one of the reasons riders progress so quickly on tour.
Having a dedicated rescue vessel on hand changes everything. It offers quiet reassurance and allows you to focus fully on your riding.
For newer riders, it means:
For experienced riders, it means:
Cocos tours run with small groups and high instructor-to-guest ratios. This allows the experience to be shaped around the individuals on tour, not the other way around.

The Cocos (K) Islands are a remote Australian territory located in the Indian Ocean, approximately halfway between Australia and Sri Lanka.
Access is straightforward via Qantas’s scheduled commercial flights from Perth. Once you arrive, the Zephyr team takes care of all local transport, logistics and transfers, allowing you to focus entirely on the experience.
Despite their remoteness, the islands offer a safe, welcoming environment and are perfectly suited to a fully supported kiteboarding tour.
Yes. Non-kiters are very welcome on the Cocos Signature Tour.
Cocos is an incredible place to spend time — even if you’re not kitesurfing. The lagoon, beaches and relaxed island atmosphere make it an ideal destination to unwind, explore and be part of the group experience.
Non-kiters enjoy:
Island exploration and lagoon time
Snorkelling, swimming and beach walks
Shared meals and social evenings with the group
If you’re travelling with a partner or friend who kites, this tour works beautifully for both of you.
We offer flexible equipment solutions to suit all riders.
For beginners or those without gear, we can facilitate a hire / buy package.
For experienced riders, this is also a great opportunity to:
Ride modern, high-performance equipment
Trial or upgrade your current setup
Travel lighter without compromising performance
Our team can help you choose the right equipment option before the tour begins.
Food options on the Cocos Islands are limited and can be expensive. To ensure quality, consistency, and ease for our guests, Zephyr provides a dedicated chef to cater to the group.
This means:
Fresh, nourishing meals prepared daily
Plenty of fuel for long days on the water
No stress sourcing food on the island
Shared meals that become a key part of the tour experience
It’s one more way we remove friction and allow you to stay fully immersed in kiteboarding and island life.
Accommodation on the Cocos Signature Progression Tour is carefully selected to suit the rhythm of life on the islands and the needs of a fully immersive kiteboarding trip.
We stay in comfortable, well-located island accommodation that offers:
Easy access to the lagoon and launch areas
Clean, simple and functional rooms
Shared spaces to relax, recover and connect as a group
A relaxed island atmosphere that complements long days on the water
This isn’t about luxury for luxury’s sake. It’s about staying somewhere that supports the experience — close to the action, comfortable enough to recover well, and perfectly suited to island life.
You can choose to share a room with another awesome kiter or opt for the single supplement to have a room all to yourself.
All accommodation logistics are handled by the Zephyr team, so once you arrive, everything runs smoothly and seamlessly.
If you have any questions about logistics, travel, equipment or whether this tour is right for you, our team is always happy to help.
If you’re an experienced kitesurfer chasing remote locations, stronger wind and true off-grid riding, our WA Offroad Adventure Tour offers a very different kind of Zephyr experience.
This is a raw, road-based adventure through some of Western Australia’s most incredible kiteboarding locations. It’s designed for riders who are confident, capable and hungry for exploration.
A Zephyr tour is more than a kite camp or a kiteboarding holiday.
It’s about shared experiences, full support, small groups, long days on the water and the kind of moments that only happen when everything is taken care of. The focus stays where it should: on riding, learning and enjoying the journey.
Whether you’re new to kitesurfing or riding confidently, every Zephyr tour is built around the same principles: safety, progression, immersion and community.
This short video gives you a feel for what it’s like to be part of a Zephyr tour.
