Planet Travel Holidays.: Reviews
Fantastic experience: We are so very grateful to Planet Travel for rearranging our dream holiday to next year at the last minute due to health issues. We cannot thank them enough. We will definitely be back!
You are so very welcome Judy. Thank you for the review.
Fantastic experience: Amazing booking process. Expert advice, many options, very competitive prices and super fast superior service
Thank you for booking with us again Eric, and for taking the time to post this review. Much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Matt and his team arranged an amazing family holiday for us to Mauritius at a 5 start resort. Our first time to the island and everything was perfect! Kite surfing was super for intermediate level and the wind blew every day for us, at the end of August. Highly recommend their travel services!
Thank you for the kind words Tasha, really appreciated :) Honestly it makes all the difference to us knowing our client have such wonderful holiday experiences. Until next time then.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service helping to select the best holiday for us - always super efficient and on it - and good value too :)
Thank you Matt. We really appreciate you taking the time to review us. Until next time then :)
Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable and honest advice about locations and quality of accommodation. Very straight forward booking and when we had a family upset they all did everything they could to help us work around it so very much appreciated and would definitely recommend them.
So pleased to hear about your positive experience Adam. We do our best. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Excellent advice and attention to detail. Matt at Planet Windsurf curated the perfect holiday for our family’s needs. I would certainly recommend them and plan to book with them again in future.
Thank you Katie, we are delighted to hear you had such a great experience booking you holiday with Planet Travel. Much appreciated
Fantastic experience: Matt and the Team at Planet Travel were knowledgeable and professional from the first call through to booking and final travel and delivered for us a holiday that met and exceeded expectations.
Fantastic experience: Matt and his team have been extremely informative and patient, taking their times to explain to us the various options which suit out requirements throughout our booking. We have now decided to visit Dakla which we are looking forward too. Further review to follow upon completion of our Holiday, but to date the process has been excellent.
Fantastic experience: Just booked my fifth Wingfoiling holiday through Planet Travel. It was a bit last minute, but the process is very efficient. What I appreciate most and why I have come back is that you get honest, considered advice - in this case around wind strength in Soma Bay in October versus November. If you are a windsports enthusiast I highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: A fantastic windsurfing holiday! Great recommendations on accommodation and really friendly, helpful service. The advice on where to go made everything so easy – thank you!
Thank you for the great feedback, we are delighted you has such a great trip.
Fantastic experience: We had the most amazing 10 days kitesurfing in Mauritius. First of all the team in the UK were super helpful and answered all our queries until the day we flew away! We were in Le Morne and stayed at the St Regis Resort. What a place! Beautiful spot, super nice staff and the food was amazing. About 5 different restaurants to chose from. The kitesurfing spot was round the corner, about 5 mins by car but you would not even know it as the hotel is on this fabulous white sand beach with no wind! The kitesurfing was super, we were looked after by the ION Club. My sons and I had individual lessons and we progress hugely. My husband, an experienced kitesurfer was impressed by the instructors. Again super friendly and helpful. Back at the hotel we hired electric bikes which was fun and went exploring around the island. This is the third holiday booked with Planet and I cannot recommend them enough. All three holidays have been different and very special. Thank you to the whole team, you are great.
Thank you for the kind words Belinda, it is always a pleasure. We are so pleased we where able to help you make some special memories from this trip. Thank you also for the wonderful picture... wow !
Fantastic experience: Thank you Planet Travel and their Partner Solis for making our Mauritius Holiday a great success:) Right from arrival at the Airport through to leaving we were looked after with a smile. The St Regis Hotel is fabulous, with stunning grounds, beach and facilities. our accommodation was perfect (junior Suite) with easy access to the beach and short walk (or buggy ride) to the main buildings where the restaurants, bars, Library, Games room, cinema and spa are situated. Access to the IOS windsurfing (for me) and Kite and Wing boarding for others is perfect, either next to the hotel with Off shore winds or on the other side of the peninsular for on shore winds (with 3 minute transfer only a text request away):) Solis organized some great trips around the Island for us with personal guides that worked very well, and the Snorkeling boat cruises in various spots around the island are well worth doing. Thanks to All for making our holiday so easy and enjoyable in the amazing Mauritius:)
Thank you for the great feedback Paul, we are thrilled that you had such a wonderful time!

I am really glad we were able to get you all set for a great trip, this month.
I have let Fatima and the admin team know your appreciation.
Matt @ Planet
Fantastic experience: It is not often I would respond to a request post a trip, however, Le Tour D'Eole Dakhla was an exceptional experience - I have had the fortune to stay in many wonderful locations around the globe and this is one of the best - accommodation, the location, the incredibly attentive and always helpful staff, fabulous Kite School and location and above all the cuisine - every day!! - was amazing. I will go back again and have already recommended it to friends. As for Planet Travels input in organising, many thanks and I will use and recommend your company any time for this and other trips. It is difficult to suggest any improvements, which in itself is 10/10. Also happy to act as a reference should you need it.
Thank you Paul, really appreciated !
Fantastic experience: Zo net een kitefoiltrip vastgelegd met Planet Travel Holidays. Binnen het uur krijg je een prijsvoorstel met inbegrip van de vlucht van waaruit je zelf wil vertrekken. Het voorstel is duidelijk en voorziet in alle optie. Het is een fijn en gerust gevoel om met Planet Travel Holidays te boeken.
Fantastic experience: Really helpful in finding and booking our holiday.
Thank you Steve! We do our best :)
Fantastic experience: Thanks for taking the hassel out of organising our holiday
Fantastic experience: Received fantastic service from the start, great advice throughout the whole process and enjoyed a great kitesurfing trip to Dahkla Morocco.
Great to hear you had such a good trip Jon, and thank you for sparing the time to review us. Until next time then....
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Planet Travel to anyone looking for a smooth, well-organized, and unforgettable travel experience. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!
Thank you Hugo, that is very kind of you.
Fantastic experience: Great professional service!
Thank you James!
Fantastic experience: I booked a kitesurfing holiday with Planet Travel a couple of years ago. Have just booked another holiday, but this time with quite different requirements. Highly recommended - this company actually knows about the sports, locations and facilities on offer. They visit the resorts, know the layouts and know how to recommend the best options for your requirements and budget. They will work with you to tweak the holiday until it is a perfect fit. I also trust them to help when snags arise: I had one minor problem last time where the resort kiteschool thought something wasn't paid, but since they knew it was planet-travel they were happy to proceed and sort out directly with agent, with no further involvement from me. Great experience.
Thank you for booking with us again Daniel, and taking the time to leave such great feedback. Very much appreciated!
Fantastic experience: I found these guys on google when looking for a windsurf holiday for my Dad. I was a bit sceptical at first as I hadn't heard of them but then I had a call with Matt and I was really impressed. He sent me a list of holiday options in an email the same day and showed really good knowledge of the locations explaining the pros and cons. Booking was really simple and smooth, probably the easiest holiday I have ever booked! Great company would 100% use again and recommend them.
Thanks Tim - it was a pleasure to put together a trip for your Dad. Adding you to the booking down the line worked out well too. We are really glad you found the booking experience simple - we aim to please!
Matt @ Planet Windsurf Holidays
Fantastic experience: Whole team were just so helpful and great
Thank you Greg. Kempinski in Egypt is a great choice, and the dive centre there is also really good. You and Sarah are going to have a wonderful dive holiday :)
Fantastic experience: Matt (& the whole team) at Planet Travel were brilliant. They were knowledgeable, made good suggestions and bookings based on our families needs and helpful at all times. Can warmly recommend them.
Hi Heather, many thanks for the kind words and review. Your trip looks amazing and so glad we got the value by moving the dates a little!
Matt @ Planet
Fantastic experience: Don’t spend time scouring the internet looking for winging holidays just get in contact with Matt and he will sort you out at prices you couldn’t get on your own. Amazing service.
Hi Andy - many thanks for the feedback - we are really glad to have taken the 'leg work' out of your planning !
Matt @ Planet
Fantastic experience: I’ve not yet taken the holiday, but the booking process has been outstanding in every way
Great to know the booking experience has been a good one Harriett. We are confident you will love La Tour DEole in Dakhla; it is amazing! Looking forward to hearing about it on your return.
Fantastic experience: The team in Cape Verde were brilliant. Nothing too much trouble - swapping wings, foils, rescuing me from the offshore wind - and excellent tuition on the training camp especially from Mark and Kevin. Can't wait to go back.
Thank you for the review Alison. Boa Vista is a great Wing Foiling spot, so pleased you and Dom had a good time !
Fantastic experience: Great advice as to the best holiday locations that would meet our requirements. Very knowledgeable about the hotels and holiday destinations with suggestions that would make the holiday even better.
Thank you making time to review us Paul, very much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Very helpful with booking—quick, friendly, and knowledgeable.
Thank you for taking the time to review us Ronnie. So appreciated :)
Fantastic experience: Thanks Matt for all your help with organising my 3rd trip through Planet Travel. As previously super helpful and knowledgeable about different resorts and conditions. Really appreciate your flexibility and options provided. Can’t wait to go now
Hi Jon
Many thanks for the feedback - it is great to get you away with us again!!!
Matt
Fantastic experience: Planet Travel did a great job selecting Soma Bay in Egypt for our recent family holiday. We wanted a nice hotel, with tennis, snorkelling, windsurfing, kitesurfing all in the same venue. Matt and his team were brilliant and attentive to getting everything sorted for us - highly recommended!
Hi Marshall - thank you very much for the kind review. We are really happy you had a good time away and things matched your expectations. I look forward to assisting with the next trip| Matt @ Planet
Fantastic experience: Really happy with the level of customer service . Emails from me were replied to within the hour . On paying deposit access was given to their Planet Holiday app containing all travel documents etc. Definitely a 5 star review
Brilliant to know we are doing a good job, thank you Mac!
Fantastic experience: This is our second time to book our kitesurfing trip with Planet travel Holidays and again it was super easy. We suggested where we were thinking of going and Matt came back with ideas, and from there we decided on our Trip (Dahkla this year) and Matt took care of everything else. All we have to do now is pack our bags !!!
Hi John - many thanks for the kind feedback. We are super glad to have booked you up for Dakhla Matt @ Planet
Fantastic experience: Matt was very knowledgeable and informative. This helped us decide where to go for our windsurfing holiday in Cape Verde. Flights, accommodation and the windsurfing package were quickly and efficiently arranged.
Thank you for the great feedback Richard. Matt is away on a site visit to Mauritius now, but we will be sure to pass this back to him.
Fantastic experience: Excellent customer service and advice. Matt able to give fantastic background to places, sports, conditions and hotels and knew what he was talking about. Thoroughly recommend talking to their experts on the phone before booking. Found me the perfect holiday.
Hi Miranda, many thanks for the kind review - it was great to take the time to go through the best and appropriate options. Made up that we've got you to La Tour D'Eole, it is a great spot!! Enjoy your trip - Matt @ Planet
Fantastic experience: This is the second time I have used Planet Travel and for good reason, they are first rate. I booked a trip earlier this year to Dahkla and recently a trip to Bonaire. Matt is very knowledgeable about all of these sites having been there before and makes reliable recommendations on what to do, where to stay and when to go based on what fits your needs. Furthermore he was patient and understanding and happy to look into numerous options and scenarios to make sure I got what I was looking for. I will use them again.
Hi Mike - manny thanks for the kind review Always a pleasure to get a trip sorted for you ! Matt @ Planet
Fantastic experience: I don't normally bother leaving reviews but felt after our recent holiday to Mauritius, organised through Planet Travel I should. We wanted a holiday where my wife could read a book and I could enjoy watersports, with this in mind they advised on the perfect place. Before speaking to them we spoke to the larger travel companies who had no real knowledge of the resorts other than what was printed in the brochure, Planet Travel not only knew the resorts but advised and booked all the hire equipment , hotel and transfers , it was pretty seamless. We did have a minor issue with the hotel which wasn't resolved when speaking to the reception staff so phoned the guys at Planet Travel (and got straight through) who had it sorted in the hour. Price wise they were actually a little cheaper the larger companies . We will 100% be booking with them again .
Thank you for taking the time to write this fantastic review Colin. It genuinely makes all the difference to us when we hear our clients have such a wonderful experience. Really appreciated !
Fantastic experience: Matt and the team have been superb to deal with, this is the third holiday we have booked through them and we've always had great service.
Great to hear Martin. Thank you for being such a great customer! Until next time.
Fantastic experience: Just finished booking a short windsurfing trip away with Planet Travel - they have been awesome throughout the process. Matt helped me from the first call and has amazing knowledge of every venue and was really honest about the pros and cons of the various options (having experienced them himself). I was also a difficult customer as I was unclear on dates, then changed them and I was also very last minute and over a school half term... Not easy but Matt was totally unflustered and patient and walked through the booking all the way to a happy conclusion. I cannot recommend Planet Travel enough.
thank you Luke - it was no problem getting you all set your last minute trip. Enjoy your time away and let us know how you get on! Matt @ Planet Windsurf
Fantastic experience: Great service, knowledge and customer experience. Has organised my Vietnam trip superbly
Thank you for taking the time to leave this wonderful feedback Peter.
Fantastic experience: After too many years of planning, but failing, to go on a windsurfing holiday, I've finally got one booked. Massive thank you to Matt at Planet Windsurf for his advice and input. I'm really excited to get back into this sport that I used to love so much!
Hi Rob - many thanks for the kind review - really happy to helped to get you back in Windsurfing with this trip - not long to go until departure!!! Matt @ Planet Windsurf
Fantastic experience: Matt was great. Very helpful and he explained the options. I feel like I have a tailored solution to my request and am looking forward to the experience in Egypt. Let’s see!
Hi Duncan - thank you for the review - really glad to have sorted this trip for you. Have a great time away ! Matt @ Planet
Fantastic experience: I booked a last minute holiday for my daughter and her boyfriend aged 24 who wanted to crack kite surfing and wing foiling . Nothing was too much trouble and we spoke at length re destinations/durations etc . Quotes from Matt came through within half and hour and what a holiday they have had . From a meet and greet airside experience, 5* Steigenburger hotel, fabulous staff , food , and wonderful KBC instructors. Josh and Evie have had a ball , fitted in snorkelling on a private boat too. Everything organised so brilliantly and all arrangements on Planet Surf App so always with you. Start to finish , brilliant and efficient . Would use again in an instant
Hi Karina - many thanks for the kind words - we are so happy that all worked out for Josh and Evie and that the spot provided the best opportunity to progress with the Kiting and Wing Foiling. The app is a nice touch for our guests and proves to be super useful! Looking forward to chatting soon about the next trip! Matt @ Planet
Fantastic experience: Exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful. Matt guided us through the options and gave great advice. Will definately use Matt again.
thank you Robert, for the kind feedback - we are really happy to have helped. Dakhla is going to be amazing!!! Matt
Fantastic experience: I contacted Planet Travel as was looking for a late booking to go to find winter sun and wind. I had a few ideas in mind and a budget. Matt Mockford picked up my enquiry called and emailed me and within 24hrs i gave me numerous choices. Matt was always happy to pick up a call and answer my questions. We have now booked a superb holiday to Mauritius which will suit myself and wife down to the ground. Great service and will definitely use again.
Hi Henry - many thanks for the kind review left on our review page Your trip looks awesome and I may see you on the water in November as I am going myself! Matt
Fantastic experience: Earlier this year I booked a diving trip for my son and me - our first diving holiday so I needed advice. I chose Planet Travel, having been aware of them for some time through friends who have booked kitesurfing holidays. I had several calls with the team when booking the holiday. Nothing was too much trouble, they gave me many tailored recommendations, and were prepared to spend as much time as it took for me to take the right decision. It was very clear that the advice was honest and based on personal experience from having visited the resorts. What's more, the support from the Planet team did not stop at booking. They helped with an issue at the resort (swiftly resolved) and even helped me to claim compensation for a delayed return flight. The holiday was great success - one of the best ever - and was made so by Planet Travel. As a result my wife and I have just chosen them for booking another holiday. The call was taken by Marcus on a work trip in Peru (I think he said) on Friday evening. We spent an hour discussing options, a quote came through within another hour and we booked the next day. Just fantastic service.
Thank you for taking the time to post this review David, it means a lot to us. I think your next trip this October to Dakhla will be amazing!
Fantastic experience: Excellent organisation with some complex arrangements. Everything went very smoothly so I am happy
Thank you Tim, really appreciated the great feedback. Brazil is such an amazing kitesurf location.
Fantastic experience: Matt was EXTREMELY knowledgeable on all kiting locations and was wonderful to work with. He made what is normally an ordeal into a very pleasant experience. Really looking forward to this trip.
Hi Jim - many thanks for the kind words - I am sure you will love Dakhla Matt
Fantastic experience: Have been on several holidays with Planet Travel Holidays, always great fun and well organised. Marcus and the team really know their stuff. The latest trip to Dakhla was great. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for kitesurfing holidays. Thanks guys.
Thank you Jon. A great pleasure to book you on these trips. Until next time.
Fantastic experience: Just returned from our first trip to Prasonisi and am very pleased to report that it didn’t disappoint! We had 7 days windsurfing and, although it was on bigger sails than we hoped ( generally 6.2), we were really well looked after and now ready for a much needed rest.
Fantastic experience: Another good experience with Matt at Planet Travel and sorted us out perfectly, recommended
Fantastic experience: Great service, in depth knowledge, efficient booking process. Can recommend without hesitation
Fantastic experience: Booking a holiday with them is fantastic! Their assistance, communication, and attention to detail is outstanding.
Fantastic experience: Sincere thanks to Matt and Fatima for the organisation of one of the best trips of my life! Matt, having been to Morocco and stayed at the Caravan (Dakhla), was able to accurately inform of what to expect when I arrived there. Matt you were spot on and the resort was an incredible gem. The staff were without exception, friendly, competent, and polite. The food was in a different world and the close proximity to the water, was as you described. A special shout out for Ayob and Abdul from the Kite school who went out of their way to assist. We rented a 15m Core and bar on a light wind morning, and used their lockers to store all our kite gear. On the last day, without being asked to, they took out our kites, inflated them, washed them down and dried/folded them for transportation back home. Amazing. Thank you Planet Kitesurf. For sure we'll avail of your excellent service on future kiting adventures.
Fantastic experience: Marcus and the team at Planet Travel were awesome. Great recommendations on where to stay and why - with personal experience to back it up and help me choose the right place. The trip itself was brilliant, all the logistics were smooth and the experience of being in Soma Bay and wing foiling at the 7BTH centre was excellent. The Kempinski lived up to its 5* rating and I'll be taking the family back there in the Autumn. Thanks to all at Planet!
Fantastic experience: Really happy with the holiday choice and service in booking this. I couldn't have arranged this myself.
Fantastic experience: The team was very helpful and responsive. Very easy booking process, looking forward to a great holiday!
Fantastic experience: I contacted Planet Travel after finding them on line in a search for a kite surfing holiday for a special birthday for my husband . I received an immediate response to my e mail request which included a wide range of really helpful suggestions . Matt was incredibly knowledgeable and helped find the best location , hotel and kite surf instruction for my husband and I . It is without hesitation that I would recommend Matt and the team at Planet travel to anyone looking to book a kitesurfing holiday . Amazing service !
Fantastic experience: Excellent service, good price and Matt was very knowledgeable. I will definitely use you again. thanks
Fantastic experience: Excellent service from Matt. Very knowledgeable, knows the area well and as an avid water sport enthusiast, really understands what’s important. Can’t recommend enough
Fantastic experience: Great booking experience. Dealt with Matt who prevented me booking a trip which didn't suit my needs and would have been too expensive. Very responsive team and booking was painless.
Fantastic experience: Hi Guys Just a follow up after all the effort and time that was spent getting this booking made. Thank you so much, resort was really cool, food was off the planet. Couldn’t believe the variety and quality, it was amazing.. All the staff were truly brilliant. The kite team at the centre were also, as hospitable and you could hope for. Lastly,, 5 days of wind, so can’t complain Thanks once again for all your help and effort in getting this booked for us. Will be revisiting and will be booking with planet, of course Rgds Peter & Martin
Fantastic experience: My wife, adult son and myself had the best time staying at the Melia resort INNSide in Fuerteventura. Thanks to Matt and the team at Planet Kitesurf for this recommendation. Even though we didn't have much wind the week we went, it's such a lovely hotel, stylish, comfortable and in a beautiful location with a tidal lagoon and huge expanse of the cleanest beach and azure waters. And the food and staff are fabulous. We will definitely be back for more.
Fantastic experience: What a great experience with Planet Travel, prompt efficient service, nothing was a problem. Matt was just great and we would highly recommend. The App is amazing also, thank you
Fantastic experience: Just returned from a windsurfing trip to Soma Bay which we booked through Planet Windsurf. The process was great and easy - we had a rough idea of what we wanted so Matt sent through several tailored recommendations. We stayed at Palm Royale and windsurfed with Surf Motion which is right next door. Both the hotel and the centre were great, would highly recommend both. Windsurfing conditions were perfect for us - sandy beach, consistent wind and warm water. They also had a lot of kite surfing and wing foiling. The travel arrangements were all easy, Planet Windsurf send you travel docs which cover everything you need. Spring Tours were the local company who handled the airport transfers - the guys were very friendly and gave us good tips as it was our first time in Egypt. Overall a great recommendation from Planet Windsurf and a super easy process from start to finish!
Fantastic experience: Worked through several options and sorted the trip I wanted, very helpful and great to deal with.
Fantastic experience: Great experience booking with Planet Travel. This is our 7th time travelling with them. Really excellent recommendations and advice, very efficient and thorough, very enjoyable experience overall, great staff. Have been dealing with Matt and other members of his team since 2016 and we keep coming back.
Fantastic experience: I spent some time looking for diving holidays in Sardinia. Most sites now seem to request you contact them for prices, but Planet travel was one of the quickest to respond. They also provided a range of options price wise and responded correctly to the questions I had (some sites failed on this point), The advisor who responded to me (Matt) was knowledgeable and looked into and responded to my follow up questions quickly. Of the 3 price options provided their cheapest (the one I picked) was still better overall than the closest competitor quote. So far I am very happy with their service.
Fantastic experience: Matt was very knowledgeable and very helpful In getting our booking options sorted
Fantastic experience: Worry-free travel assistance from knowledgeable, experienced people whom will curate the perfect trip for you!
Fantastic experience: Very positive booking experience. Staff super helpful and they have a very polite email manner. Nothing was too much trouble.
Fantastic experience: Planet really went the extra mile for us when booking our last minute trip to Fuerteventura. We had to change our plans a couple of times and Matt was especially helpful in making sure we got the trip booked up in time. Can’t wait to fly out on Sunday. Thank you Planet!
Fantastic experience: Perfect dealings from start to finish it is the first time I have booked Christmas away and also my first Kitesurfing holiday. Matt's experience and knowledge of what each destination has to offer at a difficult time off year to book a kitesurfing holiday is exceptional. Very happy to have booked my holiday with the team in planet travel holidays.
Hi Mark - thank you for the review - I hope you had an enjoyable time away. Reach out when you are next looking Matt @ Planeet
Fantastic experience: Great customer service from Matt and his colleagues – was given seven different options to choose from on a windsurfing holiday to Fuerteventura for two on a given budget. Now booked, looking forward to the holiday. Thanks Planet Windsurf.
Fantastic experience: The very best in customer service. Booked a holiday to The Maldives through Planet Travel. Their attention to deal in dealing with me as a fussy and worrying traveller could not have been better. Provided me with the detail I needed, in advance before I booked the holiday. Their excellent service continued after book the trip, with regular emails, their own app updates and phone calls to confirm all was well. We had a fantastic time! Would definitely recommend Planet Travel and will be booking our next holiday through them!
Fantastic experience: Great service - really knowledgeable, incredibly responsive and easy to deal with. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Really smooth experience booking my first holiday with Planet Travel Holidays. I have travelled a lot over the last 6 decades and used numerous travel companies but this time, from initial enquiry to booking and payment all the members of staff were very responsive, friendly and efficient and the experience felt very joined up, which you don’t always find. In addition, their travel app is one of the best I have used too and I particularly like all the useful phone numbers (Consulate/ police/ hospital etc) that are all in one place. Thank you and I would definitely recommend you to my friends.
Fantastic experience: Matt and Planet Travel are always brilliant - they really know their stuff.
Fantastic experience: The team at Planet Travel are very knowledgeable, professional and personable. They know the best spots and how to marry up my needs to get the most out of any experience. They have first-hand knowledge and good relationships in at each location. Plus they make any admin around the holiday very simple with their app! Have used them 3 times now and couldn't find fault. Will use again for sure. Top service for kitesurfers like me looking for stress free holidays ))
Fantastic experience: Planet Travel put together a truly epic holiday for me and my family recently in Mauritius. Everything they advised was bang on, the hotel connections, everything. So very easy to deal with and superbly helpful. Planet will certainly be my "Go To" from here. Thank you so very much.
Fantastic experience: I recently booked a kite surfing trip to Mauritius but extended the travel so that I could include a weeks sailing with another operator. Matt handled the booking and gave me great advice on my options, understanding my requirements and bringing the two together. He was super patient while I finalised the details. He went the extra mile to make sure I had the accommodation I wanted even though it was showing as unavailable at the start, ending up with exactly what I wanted. Thank you Matt and the rest of the team who liaised with me all the way through.
Fantastic experience: The team at Planet make planning and booking kitesurfing and windsurfing holidays a relaxed and enjoyable experience. They have time to discuss the best options for you and present their quotes in an easy to manage and clear way. I’ve looked at booking flights and accommodation separately and I found that Planet beat those prices. Plus, you have the added benefit that they take the stress out of the process for you and provide added safeguards for your booking.
Fantastic experience: Great trip to SOMA Bay for 4 days off wingfoiling with party of 3. Perfect conditions in the Bay, SurfMotion school was great team and kit. Palm Royale as a hotel is so-so but then again we were there for the watersports and it was perfectly ok for what we were after. thank you to Marcus for helping get us booked in at Planet.
Fantastic experience: Matt is super friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. All options provided would have been appropriate, and have booked a package in June for Fuerteventura. Can't wait..!
Fantastic experience: Casa Cook was an ideal location for me and my wife; Matt's brilliant advice for it as a good kite foiling spot and the best room to go for (sea view) was invaluable. It's a walk of about 100-150m to get beyond the reef for foiling, which is pretty easy given the winds are steady. Hotel, pool, food and room all of a really high standard, as were the super helpful staff. The kite centre is part of the hotel's pool/bar complex and is one of the best I've seen. For a couple where only one of you kites this place is perfect. Thanks Planet.
Fantastic experience: Thanks to the team for sorting out an excellent liveaboard on Aggressor III in Belize. All the travel worked really smoothly. The Planet Travel App was really useful and worked perfectly with all the information easily available, and the United airlines App was good too. They had to do a fair bit of chasing for information, and emails from the team kept us right, was very much appreciated and not easy when divers coming from London and Daka. The choice to put us on the smaller Aggressor III turned out to be a good one, and we got to dive the Blue Hole. A memorable experience. Until next time, thank you
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Planet Travel. Booked my trip of a lifetime to Kitesurf in Mauritius with Matt, Marcus, Fatima and the team. From the outset I was given a personal service that I wouldn’t have received from a std holiday company and this was despite me being a somewhat “challenging” customer! Flights and accommodation were all beyond my expectations and when a slight problem did arise, Fatima got it resolved for me. Only thing I’d change…more wind next time pls!
Fantastic experience: Just back from a second trip to Sicily booked via Planet kite. The whole booking process was seem less once again and all staff that we came into contact with extremely helpful. EasyJet left our kitesurfing kit in Palermo when we flew back to Gatwick and Minhaj and Fatima helped make what could have been a stressful process very easy and 4 days later our kit is now back with us. Thank you so much. Another fantastic trip and highly recommend booking your next trip with these guys.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience using plant travel for our kitesurfing holiday to the Movenpick in Egypt. Matt was very knowledgeable in helping us plan a holiday that suited our needs. Thanks to Melissa everything was arranged for us and we were refugularly updated about any changes to the flights, hotel, transfers and kiteboarding sessions. The kitesurfing was great and we would definitely recommend using the company again.
Fantastic experience: We have used Matt Mockford at Planet Travel to book two holidays to Egypt. Both times, his responses have been super quick, the information has been full and reliable, and his knowledge of the best kitesurfing spots is second to none. On top of all that, the quotes he is able to obtain always seem to be the best - even comparing with bucket shops or airlines/hotels directly.
Fantastic experience: I was confused and overwhelmed by a web search for windsurfing holiday and called Planet Windsurf. Matt's knowledge cut through the noise and he suggested a great package that I'd never have found. Wahoo, time to pack the bags.
Fantastic experience: I've used Matt and the planet travel team twice now. First time round i wasn't so sure as i hadn't use a travel company before to help organise a holiday; second time round i had absolutely no doubt who i was contacting for help..Matt (my first planet travel holiday was unreal, all thanks to Matt) Matt was super professional, very responsive and helpful; he knew all the 'spots' around the location i was interested in so he was able to give me a detailed insight into all my options. Once you've booked, the planet travel app gives you easy access to all the info you might need prior and during your holiday so no worrying about that. I can't recommend Matt and the planet travel team highly enough ! If, like i did, you have any reservations about booking with a travel agent..ignore yourself, you're being silly.
Fantastic experience: My experience with Planet Travel was excellent. The agent was well versed in kitesurfing destinations around the world. My trip to Ceara Brazil was great from all aspects. Very professional operation that I will use again in the future.
Hi Ronnie - many thanks for the kind review. Brazil is an awesome spot and our extended travel options really work (with good planning!!). We look forward to seeing how we can help for the next one! Matt @ Planet
Fantastic experience: The perfect company for organising your kite surfing adventures - I've just booked my second trip - great advice and really easy. Trip confirmed within 2hrs.
Fantastic experience: Really good experience with booking a week in Egypt. MATT and the team put together a great package for a week kitesurfing. Hotel Palm Royal excellent, Surf Motion Kite School was well run with lots of kit. Will definitely use again. Ray
Fantastic experience: Booking with planetkite has been great. Matt has been very helpful and made time to speak to us on the phone even with us living in New Zealand. Competitive pricing, quick responses and some nice add Ons that you might not get elsewhere. We can’t wait to head off on our dream honeymoon!! Thanks Guys ✈️ ☀️
Fantastic experience: Matt and Melisa were extremely helpful, quick to reply and efficient.
Fantastic experience: Great All round experience, makes booking a water sports trip very simple, fantastic range of options for locations and all ran very smoothly.
Negative experience: I was expecting face to face service, as appeared in Google, but the girl at the phone in her twenties instead to just answer my question, start asking questions to me trying to persuade me to do online, and I was in a rush to book a trip, and I have to stop her talking and said very assertive :Sorry, not interested!
Fantastic experience: Matt is incredibly knowledgeable- giving the inside track and insightful guidance not possible on-line. First rate
