Kite Surfing
If you are looking for an exhilarating adventure on the water, join Captain Sparrow boat for a kiting session and experience the thrill of flying over the waves with the wind in your hair.
Day 1
After being welcomed at Hurghada airport you will be transferred to the Boat just 5 minutes away at Hurghada new marina. We will have dinner on the boat, maybe a drink in the marina if you are not too tired, and then a good night sleep. You will be sleeping on the boat the first night, and we will be ready to depart on Sunday early morning. In the event of an early arrival on Friday you can join our team at some of the local spots and overnight in a hotel (on request).
Day 2
In the early morning we move to one of the best kitesurfing spots of the Red Sea, Tawila Island. A huge lagoon with crystal clean and shallow water. Here the adventure begins. Jump the sand bar or freestyle on glass flat water. Secluded beach with a great atmosphere, far away from the crowded coasts and cities. After a full kiting day, a well-deserved drink on the main deck, and after the sunset our crew may teach you how to fish for Calamari! As we wait for our meal to be prepared you can check out the videos and pictures from the day’s session on our screens. We will be sleeping in Tawila, ready for an early morning session.
Day 3
If you are up to it, we will wake up at 6 in the morning for a session before breakfast! We will spend the full day in Tawila, and move in the afternoon to the second spot, Geisum island where we will sleep for the night
Day 4
We will spend the full day in Geisum. During the Northern most part of our safari we’ll travel between the islands with the advantage of the perfect side shore wind. Why not take a look under your board? The water here is so clear that you’ll easily see the dolphins as they glide through the water. A real unspoiled area and a great place to take advantage of our kayaks and snorkeling equipment to explore the color full coral below the surface. Also, a great place for wakeboarding, as it is very quiet and flat!
Day 5
Before breakfast we will start a 10 km downwind ride to our next spot! The boat and our rescue team will follow us to give us that extra aspect of safety. Starting with flat water, we’ll head outside to catch some serious swell. It’s time to try some big carving and high jumps. We’ll finish the day’s session back on Geisum. This is a great chance to explore the lagoons you missed last time as the area is very large. We will be sleeping in Geisum.
Day 6
Again in Tawila.
Day 7
Early morning ride on the island lagoon. A good chance for a final picture session. We finish kiting around midday and enjoy a hearty lunch before heading back to Hurghada. Gear will be cleaned and packed at the marina. Still have energy for more fun? We’ll head out for a night in one of the area’s most popular beach nightclubs. We sleep one last night on the boat in the Marina.
Day 8
It’s time for goodbye! After lunch, we will leave the boat. If you have a later flight, we can go enjoy some kiting spots in Hurghada, or just chill at a nearby beach till it’s time to go. N.B.: program may be changed due to flight schedule or wind conditions.
Kitesurfing Spots
Tawila
Tawila Island is an Egyptian island located north of the city of Hurghada in the Red Sea. Its area is approximately 20 km², and it is 17 km² away from El Gouna tourist resort. The island contains sandy beaches and very beautiful blue waters to see all the water features and masterpieces submerged under its surface, in addition to the presence of dolphin fish. that swim next to you on the beach.
North Geisum
The Geisum Islands offer an incredible kiting playground with numerous bays, peninsulas, and reef-protected lagoons with mostly offshore winds. There are three main spots on these two islands—all of them pristine and shallow. One of our favorite sessions from here is an epic three-hour downwinder from South Geisum to Tawila: we quest across the open sea before hugging the shallows of Tawila’s shoreline while the zodiacs follow behind. Downwinders don’t get much better than this!
Ashrafi
Ashrafi is the furthest north island in the archipelago and home to an absolute gem of the area: a massive waist-deep lagoon with reefs sheltering the water from the wind, resulting in dream-like perfection. The butter-smooth water and multi-kilometer size (plus the option of an upwinder to the lighthouse or a two-hour downwinder all the way to South Geisum) makes Ashrafi a kite-safari highlight for everyone from beginners to advanced riders. No cell reception, no WiFi, no crowds—Ashrafi is an idyllic adventure spot that is an exclusive of Dragonfly Kite Safaris.
Abu Minqar
The perfect spot for our final day of kiting, Abu MMinqar is renowned for its low-tide sandbar that forms a perfect flatwater speed zone. Hug the sandbar and you can freeride rally the shallows like you’re in a video game! We will be close enough to see the lights of Hurghada at night but still completely isolated from the mainland, enjoying a final session at one of the very best kite spots on the Red Sea. Without a doubt, Abu Minqar is a fantastic finale to our weeklong kite safari!
South Geisum
The Geisum Islands offer an incredible kiting playground with numerous bays, peninsulas, and reef-protected lagoons with mostly offshore winds. There are three main spots on these two islands—all of them pristine and shallow. One of our favorite sessions from here is an epic three-hour downwinder from South Geisum to Tawila: we quest across the open sea before hugging the shallows of Tawila’s shoreline while the zodiacs follow behind. Downwinders don’t get much better than this!
