★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 75 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $149Our pick

At Jockey’s Ridge, Kitty Hawk Kites gives beginners a 30-minute ground lesson, gear, and five training flights over about three hours. Instructors such as Ben, Larson, Brad, and Drake coach you from the sand. Expect a strenuous walk over dunes, strong sun, and low glides rather than high, long soaring.
