Kite Safari Red Sea
The experience
Wake up somewhere new every day
A Red Sea kite safari is the ultimate kitesurfing holiday. Instead of returning to the same beach each afternoon, your home moves with the wind. We anchor beside remote islands, ride empty lagoons, and spend evenings swapping stories on deck.
Whether you want to learn your first water start, progress your jumps, or simply enjoy long sessions in warm turquoise water, the crew and IKO coaches are there to make it happen.
Your week
How the 7 days unfold
Day 1
Arrival & welcome aboard
Land in Hurghada, meet the crew at the marina and settle into your cabin. After a safety briefing and gear check, enjoy a welcome dinner and the marina's activities together, and spend a relaxed evening getting to know the group. We depart first thing in the morning.
Day 2–6
Island hopping & sessions
We move and follow the wind, anchoring in different lagoons and islands along the Red Sea. Some days we stay where the conditions are best for two or three sessions, others we cruise to a new spot. Ride 3–5 hours with coaching and rescue cover, then relax, snorkel or explore the islands before dinner under the stars.
Day 7
Final session & departure
One last sunrise ride, a group photo on the sandbank, then we cruise back to Hurghada. Airport transfer is timed for your flight, or extend a few days in El Gouna.
