LET'S GET STARTED
DAY 1 - ARRIVAL TO HURGHADA AIRPORT, EGYPT
Our week-long kite trips start on Saturdays, that's the day we all get aboard during the day. After arrival to Hurghada airport we get you a free transportation to the marina on our boat. One of our assistants will be waiting for you at the airport and take care of you and your comfortable and safe way to the marina. The first night we spend aboard. The boat leaves Hurghada next day early morning.
DAYS 2-7 - LIVE ABOARD KITE SAFARI
Next morning we depart from the marina early morning, and we will be cruising towards the first kite spot while enjoying our breakfast aboard. Depending on current wind conditions we choose the best kite spot for you every day, be it on a little island or in a beautiful sandy lagoon.
After the first kite session there is a tasty lunch ready aboard for everyone followed by another kite session until sunset. All the areas of the boat are accessible to you during your whole stay. Whenever you prefer to have some rest and relax after a good meal or enjoy a bit of sun-bathing, feel free to use the entire deck. When the sun sets behind the horizon our cooks prepare a well-deserved dinner for us. The all-inclusive (except for alcoholic beverages) main meals (breakfast, lunch, midday snacks, dinner) are served on the boat. Whenever we stay overnight close to an island you can look forward to a fantastic barbecue party by the fire on a sand beach. What follows is just relax, fun and good sleep for those who want it.
Every day we move to another kite spot. The planned itinerary, the choice and the number of spots may change depending on the wind &weather conditions. We finish kiting on Friday afternoon and before sunset we heading back to the marina in Hurghada. Gear will be cleaned and packed at the marina.
DAY 8 - DEPARTURE - LAST DAY OF KITE SAFARI
