A kite safari is a trip on a motor yacht through the uninhabited islands of the Red Sea. The yacht drops anchor near an island, you hop into a motorboat, and 5 minutes later you're at the spot.
Day 1 · Sat
You fly into Hurghada. A driver meets you at the airport — 25 minutes later, you're on the yacht. Check into your cabin and meet the crew.
✺
Day 2 · Sun
In the morning, the yacht heads out to sea. We sail to the first island and start riding right away.
✺
Days 2–7
We live on the yacht out at sea. Up to three riding sessions every day. Over the week, the yacht makes 2–3 moves to follow the best kiting conditions.
✺
Day 7 · Fri
In the evening, the yacht returns to Hurghada port. A farewell dinner on board with the crew. Overnight stay on the yacht.
✺
Day 8 · Sat
Breakfast. Transfer to the airport ✈️
Riding conditions
The yacht moves between islands — you ride wherever conditions are best right now
Each island acts as a natural windbreak. The yacht anchors on the leeward side, giving you a huge stretch of smooth water.
The water stays flat — no waves
The wind blows offshore, and the island only rises a meter or two above the water. No trees, no buildings — nothing breaks the wind, so it flows steadily. These are ideal kiting conditions.
Waist-deep at most
Sandy bottom. You can stand up at any moment.
Steady wind
Wind stats over the past three years: 8 out of 10 days.
Plenty of space
The riding area can fit dozens of kiters. Nobody gets in anyone's way.
Schedule 2026
Pick your dates — safaris run in spring and autumn
Get up on the board from scratch or learn new tricks
One-on-one lessons under the IKO program
All lessons on our safaris are one-on-one: one student, one instructor. No groups. By the end of the week, every beginner is riding — some 20 meters, some 200.
You stay on a luxury yacht in the middle of the sea, 100 meters from a pristine sandy beach — a motorboat takes you there any time of day.
What to do while the others are riding:
Private beaches on the islands
Wakeboarding
SUP boards
Fishing
Stretching on deck
About the riding
Three riding sessions a day on flat water — morning, midday, and evening
At a regular spot, you share the water with dozens of kiters in a limited area and wait for the right wind window. Here, you wake up, hop in the boat, and 5 minutes later you're on the water.
The schedule is flexible: ride all three sessions, or just one — up to you.
07:00–08:30
Morning session
10:00–13:00
Midday session
15:00–18:00
Evening session
A rescue boat and safety crew are on duty whenever anyone is on the water.
Our yachts are floating hotels at a 5-star level. You'll find decks with sun loungers and jacuzzis, a restaurant, soft lounges, and comfortable cabins.
Twin cabins, each with a private bathroom
Toilet, hot shower, and air conditioning
4 decks, 45 meters long, crew of 15

Lounge areas
Restaurant, air-conditioned indoor lounge, upper sun deck with loungers, jacuzzi. Wi-Fi on board.
Three cabin types

О вашем комфорте на борту заботятся 12–18 человек. Плата за их работу — 100 € с каждого человека на боту. Эта сумма по традиции всех яхтенных туров в Египте не включается в стоимость, а оплачивается отдельно. Мы указываем это сразу, чтобы не было сюрпризов.
Why don’t we offer “unlimited instruction” or fixed-price group lessons like other safaris?
First — we are confident that one-on-one instruction with a coach yields faster results than group sessions. Every minute is spent making progress alongside your instructor, rather than waiting for your turn or struggling with the kite on your own.
Second — we know from experience that beginner riders spend an average of 7 to 10 hours with an instructor during a safari. Beyond that, physical stamina simply gives out, and as fatigue sets in, efficiency drops sharply. Financially, it works out to the same €600–€800 per safari as an "unlimited group" package, but the quality and results are significantly higher.
Third — we refuse to compromise our principles for the sake of marketing. When it comes to kitesurfing, group and unlimited lessons often lead to conflicts and disappointment. We want you to enjoy every single minute of your safari and keep coming back for more.
Equipment Rental
All necessary equipment is already included in the price of beginner lessons. For independent riding, we offer a wide range of kites, boards, and harnesses for rent: Core, F-One, Reedin.
By using our rental service, you can freely switch kites and boards — you have access to kites ranging from 4m to 17m and boards from 130cm to 160cm.

Safety
How we keep guests safe
A rescue boat is on duty all day, water is no deeper than waist-high, and Hurghada port is just 2–3 hours away.
🛟
On the water
A rescue boat is on duty whenever anyone is at the spot. During lessons, your instructor stays in touch by radio. The whole riding area is waist-deep at most. If you fall, you simply stand up.
⚓
On the yacht
We anchor in 5–6 meters of water — you can see the bottom. The island shelters the yacht from waves, so the water stays calm at anchor. Hurghada port is 2–3 hours away, and you can see the shore from the yacht.
💊
No seasickness
There's no rocking at anchor — the island blocks the waves. Crossings between islands are short: 2–3 times over the safari, 1–3 hours each.
🛡
Insurance
Sports insurance with $30,000 coverage is included in the safari price. We keep first-aid supplies on board for emergencies.
Photo and video
Professional photo and video, included in the safari price
Our on-board photographer Svetlana and videographer Marina capture the riding and life on the yacht. After the safari, you'll receive all the photos and videos.
Leisure
What to do when you're not riding
On a no-wind day
We sail to a coral island — diving, snorkeling with an underwater photo session. Wakeboarding, SUP, fishing.
In the evening
Stretching, photo and video reviews, board games, Mafia, squid fishing, music from our DJ.
Atmosphere
The kind of atmosphere you can expect
A shared passion brings people together. By the very first dinner, our guests already feel like they're among good friends.
After riding in the evening, we watch the photos and videos from the day together. We put on music, hang out, play board games.
When the mood strikes — we throw a party. And the upper decks and your cabin are always there if you want some quiet time.
There's no dry-law on board, but we're against "drinking yourself into oblivion" — and we say so honestly upfront. That's exactly why the atmosphere on board stays the way it is: calm, grown-up, and friendly. And it's that atmosphere our guests come back for, year after year.
Team
Running safaris since 2012
On every safari, you'll have our experienced Kitefun team of 8+, plus 15 yacht crew members
In winter and summer — kitesurfing lessons on Mauritius
Kite safaris run in spring and autumn. The rest of the year, we teach on Mauritius: a waist-deep lagoon, steady wind, and the IKO program. A full beginner course takes 4–5 days.
Yes. A kite safari offers ideal conditions for learning kiteboarding — out at sea, the wind blows more often and more steadily, the water is knee- to waist-deep, and it's smooth with no waves. On every safari, there are always students starting from scratch — sometimes more of them than experienced kiters. The atmosphere helps a lot: you're surrounded by people who are passionate about kiting. In that kind of company, progress comes faster.
If a no-wind day comes up, the yacht sails over to a coral island: diving, snorkeling, wakeboarding, SUP.
There's no rocking at anchor — the island shelters us from waves. Some motion is possible during crossings between islands: 2–3 times a week, 1–3 hours each. In all our years of running safaris since 2012, we've only had noticeable rocking during a crossing three times.
You can see the shore from the deck. It's 2–3 hours away.
Better than at most hotels — everything is fresh and varied. Seafood, meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, juices, pastries, oatmeal in the mornings. Three meals a day, buffet style. Throughout the day, tea, coffee, cookies, pastries, juices, and fruit are available freely, with no limits.
A shared passion brings people together and makes it easy to find common ground — there's always something to talk about, interesting stories to hear, impressions to share. And if you feel like being on your own — to think, or just look at the stars — there's plenty of space. On a four-deck, 45-meter yacht, you never feel cramped.
It's not a dry boat, but our safaris run on a moderate-drinking policy. Evenings are calm: a guitar on deck, going through the day's photos, board games, conversations. In the morning, you wake up fresh and ready to ride — not nursing a hangover. Our focus is on the sport and on rebooting.
On board: snorkeling, diving, wakeboarding, SUP, fishing, stretching, and a beach 100 meters away. Looking at past safaris, even people who came along just for the company loved the experience.
For lessons — we provide everything. From your side: SPF 50+ sunscreen, shorts, a long-sleeve rash guard, and a cap or bandana. Experienced riders bring their own gear or rent on the spot.
07:00 — morning ride. 09:00 — breakfast. 10:00 — midday ride. 14:00 — lunch. 15:00 — evening ride. After that — stretching, dinner, going through the day's photos and videos, games, parties.
As an example, let's calculate the cost for one person sharing a Standard cabin on the Lyra yacht.
Option 1. You already know how to kite and brought your own gear (or are just relaxing).
Spot price: €1,500
Eco tax: €150
Egyptian crew tip: €100
Total:€1,750
Option 2. You know how to kite, but need equipment rental: €1,750 + €400
Total:€2,150
Option 3. You are planning to learn from scratch: €1,750 + €800(10 hours of instruction)
