The Setting for 250k is the essence of tropical beauty. You are on you own tiny island, set among other islands, in a sea of multi-colored blues. It was windy every day I was there, which I think is typical for their season, so the kiting conditions are great. You are surrounded by hospitality the entire time of your visit. Not in an intrusive way at all, it’s just always there, friendly and attentive, a cool drink, knowing instruction with your kiting, delicious meals, which of course include fresh seafood, and surprisingly fresh local organic salads and vegetables. You want a nice Chardonnay with your meal, or an espresso from local coffee after your meal? No Problem. You’ll sleep in a very comfortable bed in your well appointed hut. At night time, the environment is friendly, with communal fun if you like, or you can just as easily retire to the privacy of your thatched hut. If you happen to look up as you’re walking back to your hut, you’ll see probably the most stars you’ve ever seen. Johannes is an excellent host, helpful, knowledgable and friendly. Adrien is the Kite Instructor you hope for. Very skilled, and totally invested in your improvement. The trip from Manila is easy. A short scenic flight, an hour ride in a comfy van, and then your boat-ride over to your welcoming beverage as you arrive at the 250K Kiteboarding Camp. When you get there, it will cross your mind at least once, if not many times, that you really don’t want to leave.

My wife, daughter, and i spent ten days on bamboo island.

Bamboo island is a sublime little island where our kite dream came true.

There was a great atmosphere in the camp with the other guests and truly delicious food (bravo chef) .

The bungalows are charming and well kept, offering a fantastic view on the sea.

Besides amazing kite sessions we also enjoyed snorkeling and trips with the kayak.

The staff is very friendly and always willing to help.

A special thanks to Ailene, who took such good care of our daughter while we were out kiting, and to Toto who helped us organizing the rest of our trip, and who’s kindness is second to none.

Johannes (the manager) along with Adrien (kite instructor), do a great job making you feel right at home from the start and make sure your stay will be unforgettable.

I could go on about the sunset whilst sipping a good cocktail, discussing your latest kite session and so on, but that you have to see for yourself.

Many thanks,

Guy, Stéphanie and Jade

Bamboo Kitesurf island was incredible, a picture perfect paradise where we enjoyed an amazing week! Watching turtles hatch and make a run for the sea, sitting by midnight fires gazing at the stars, a day trip with kayaks and SUP boards to Coron island, sunset trips to neighbouring rocks and kiting excursions whenever the wind blew – it’s really hard to describe just how special our stay was! And if that wasn’t enough, the food was delicious (huge prawns, wonderful crabs and all sorts of local deserts) and Toto’s drinks‘ (miss those caipirinhas!) hit just the right spot. Huge thank you to Johannes, Adrian, Toto and the whole team for making our stay so great.

Extraordinary experience

I spent about a week on Bamboo Private Island aka 250k Kiteboarding, and my stay was simply extraordinary.

I could not think of a single thing, I feel like complaining about: getting there was well organized, the food was outstanding, the staff exceptionally friendly, the island as picturesque as it can get, available kitesurfing equipment in good condition and adequate quantity. Accommodation is simple but fully sufficient and comfortable. The wind was blowing strong most of the time, and if it was not, you are well-entertained with other activities.

However, if you expect a five star resort with a large bathtub and a flat screen TV, this may not be the right location for you. If you look for a unique island with an unparalleled atmosphere and seek an extraordinary experience shared with a small group of like-minded people, you are definitely at the right place.

I would go again any time to this awesome place.

I am very impressed, the entire experience was even better then what i could have wished for.
An absolute magnificent island with incredibly friendly and helpful staff, great teachers, a bar that never runs dry & fantastic food. The relaxing atmosphere good kiting and all-round water sports conditions make this the perfect spot for single kitesurfer, couples or families. You won’t regret visiting 250k.

We spend little more than a week on the Bamboo Island during the Chinese spring festival. Johannes and his team have setup a great camp with simple but comfortable accommodation, but you will not spend much time in your cabin. The main activity is off course the kitesurfing and with plenty of space on the open water, conditions are very safe. It is a good spot for learners, with a boat on standby in case you would need help. Obviously, the wind is always a hit or miss, but during our time on the island we had at least several days of sufficient wind.

Not unimportant, the food and drinks are fantastic, we stayed at another island for a few days as well during our holiday, but the food quality at Bamboo Island was definitely MUCH tastier. Will we go back? For sure!

I had it in my mind not to ever say anything about that place cause it’s so unbelievably awesome.

But yes of course the secret is out.

Bamboo island is unlike any other experience I have ever had. I wanted to go to a place where I could chill out and focus on learning kiteboarding. The set up, the location, the regard for safety, and having two very well-qualified multilingual instructors had me impressed from the start. I felt very comfortable in the hands of both Johannes and Adrian. Their attention to detail and both kiting instruction, and in the comfort of the guests, in regards to lodging and dining was outstanding. The family-style meals and excellent food prepared by the local philipino staff was to be looked forward to three times a day.
I ended up staying on the island longer than I had anticipated and was hesitant to leave. I look forward to my return.
Thank you

Our visit to 250k Kitesurfing was a holiday like nothing we had ever experienced before.
We arrived to the island on a banca (a motorised bamboo raft with wings type thing), to be greeted by all the inhabitants of the whole island: Johannes, Nooch, a handful of very friendly island staff and a handful of guests.

We were welcomed with a fresh coconut water and our dinner- the island had waited for our arrival, how sweet!

We stayed in a hut high up on the hill (a minutes‘ easy walk up the grand wooden staircase). There are beach huts too.

When we woke in the morning we could see the turquoise sea through the slats of the hut- magnificent!

So the accommodation is not four seasons, but, perhaps an eco shabby chic version ( the bed is comfortable, no Aircon, but the fan is sufficient, hot water shower if you want.. And the service is definitely 5 stars. I was impressed with how responsible for their environment Johannes and his team are.

The food is wonderful, cooked by Raymond, a fantastic chef, using fish from the sea and vegetables from their own island farm nearby. There was also chicken.

We had some great kiteboarding instruction from Johannes and Nooch. Other visitors to the island were of an impressive level already. We had some fun evenings with music/dancing/singing/barbecues/board games and good chats.

When we weren’t kite surfing we used the stand up paddle boards to go around the island, swam in the clear water, tried to do stand paddle yoga (!)… We also watched hundreds of turtles hatching one evening, which was a huge highlight.

The island itself is picture perfect, stunning.

Thanks guys, we hope to see you soon!

Kind regards,

It was truly the best kite spot I’ve ever been. It is a unique, little island with a relaxed atmosphere, managed by an incredible team. The kind of people that make you feel at home from the time you step in, to the time you step out.
A perfect location to improve kitesurfing, to relax, having fun and get to know like-minded people at the same time.
The bungalow on the beach was really comfortable and had a direct view to the ocean…
The food they cook is incredibly delicious and fresh.

I had a awesome time at Bamboo Island and I will be heading back one time.

maybe the island’s atmosphere, maybe the turtles nesting under my shed during the night, maybe the food, maybe the cocktails, maybe johannes and nooch, of course, but also the charismatic Roman …. maybe, above all, the sea, wonderful, and the wind, everyday …. probably the best place where I’ve been for kitesurfing

Ive been travelling around the world and still am – Ive seen a lot of nice places…but this one is incredibly beautiful and one of the most magic places Ive ever been. Pure Island life! The sand is shining white, the water cristal clear and the people sooo helpful, nice and not at all invasiv – so you feel very comfortable. Kiting is awesum – you have sideshore wind, flat water and lots of space ?. If you want to see another place for kiting you can just head to another island close by (either by kite, kajak, SUP or boat). That is not all!!!! Life beside kiting is very exciting and beautiful as well – Ive seen 3 turtles giving birth and two times when the baby turtles climbes out of there eggs to head to the sea, buy snorkling around the island you can easily see a lot of fish, turtles, stingrays, little reefsharks and corals….the bungalows are straightened to the sea, so when you wake up you have the awesum seaview – which is also nice, cause you can always see if there are already kites out there ? Moreover, the food is very very nice! If you have some special wishes or allergies they will care about you perfectly!
If I enjoyed my 14 days holiday on this island in the philippines? Yes A LOT!!!

Gegen Ende Dezember 2015 durften wir für 10 Tage das Leben auf Bamboo Island erleben und waren absolut begeistert.

Bisher das definitiv schönste Kiterevier welches wir erleben durften. Und ich habe seit 2010 schon so einige Reviere gesehen.
Einsame Inseln, glasklares Wasser, vom Bamboobett aufs Brett, entspannte Leute und teilweise mit dem 9er fett angeblasen 🙂
Genug großes Material (Kites und Bretter) da wenn der Wind mal etwas schwächer war.
Das Essen (3 Mal am Tag) war der Wahnsinn und mein riesengroßer Appetit konnte jedesmal gestillt werden.
Johannes und Nootch und auch der Rest der Crew waren super entspannt und sorgten dafür dass sich alle Gäste wohlgefühlt haben.
Es war für philippinische Verhältnisse nicht günstig, aber man darf auch nicht vergessen was man dafür bekommt.
Einen exklusiven Inselspot, traumhafte Kiteerlebnisse bis in den Sonnenuntergang hinein, Robinson Crusoe Feeling fernab vom Massentourismus für das alles sich auch die weite Anreise lohnt…
Waren sicher nicht das letzte Mal dort kiten…

It was a beautiful place to rest, restore + play for eight days. Water + wind paradise, simple island life powered by solar, hydrated by rain water and desalinized sea water. Feeling blessed beyond…especially watching my little girl continue her kite skills. She’s having a birthday tomorrow! It was hard to leave this magical island today…new friends, laughs + memories for the books…we will be back, Bamboo.

One of the most beautiful island I’ve been! Great experience, great staff, great food everything was perfect! We were able to Kitesurf, kayak around the other islands, hobbie cat, paddle etc… Thanks again!

Hope all is well on the island! 🙂 We want to thank you again for an AMAZING time! What a special spot, we are so lucky to have found it and to have had your great organization and support! YOU ROCK!

Hi Johannes,
I’d like to thank you and Nooooooooooch again for the wonderful holiday in the „island with some names“ … it’s not so easy to find a place where the staff is so relaxed and at same time professional … good job, see you soon!

Silvio

We are now back in -7 degrees Beijing and just wanted to send a quick note to say well done. We had such a nice time on Bamboo island: food was great, staff were lovely, and the kite lessons were great – thank you for being so attentive!

Wish you all the best for the end of the season and we are already looking forward to coming back.

Tschüss,

Viele Grüße aus München und nochmal vielen Dank für den tollen und außergewöhnlichen Urlaub!

Wir haben die beiden Wochen auf „eurer“ Insel sehr genossen.

Hi Johannes, Greeting from Oregon, USA. Although it’s only been 6 weeks since my 250K visit, it seems like a long time ago as the working life and mindset quickly take over now that I’ve been back at work for 1 month now. But my memories of my time on your lively isle are still strong and beautiful. Thanks for a wonderful time.

Ryan

The vacation was awesome and we both enjoyed the island and the hospitality, which made it difficult to get back to work 🙂
hope to come back next year again,

many thanks,
Yaron and Jenny

Just got back to Germany, still keeping a great memory of those amazing days we spent on the island. Thanks for the great time we had and getting me hooked on kiting again.
