Red Sea kite safari

What is a kite safari?

For the beginners it is a chance to start riding within one week. For the riders it is an opportunity to learn and train something new like turns, jumps and tricks. For the advanced riders it is an ideal environment to fine-tune the technique and get some nice pictures and video for the sponsors. For non-kiters and partners it is a chance to spend time on the beautiful Red Sea in the company of friends, relaxing.

Why should I try a kite safari?

The answer is simple. The yacht will take you each day to the best spot to ride.  Imagine a comfortable hotel that you can relax in and while you sleep they make the beach perfect for the next day. That is kite safari. If you haven’t spent all your energy on the water, drinks and music go on into the night if you wish.  

How can I go for kite safari?

It’s easy. All you need to do is to buy return tickets to Hurghada and book a place on a boat on this website. Everything else is on us! Ok, almost everything!
