Kite Safari – Solar Eclipse 2027

This will never really happen again – Your chance to kitesurf during our solar eclipse in Egypt. Starting from 1050€ for 8 Days on our Luxury Motor Yacht

THIS 31ST JULY JOIN US FOR A TRIP OF A LIFETIME

And this time is for real – a trip of a lifetime. On August 2nd 2027 there will be an almost total eclipse in Egypt, and it’s the perfect condition for a kitesurfing cruise where will be kiting with an eclipsed sun!  Departing from Hurghada Marina, Egypt, on the 1st, we will experience something new and unexpected – a almost total eclipse (it should be total in Luxor) and if it’s windy, as we think it will be, we will be kitesurfing with the eclipse.

We organize kitesurfing cruises pretty much, we call them Kite Safaris cause we go from spot to spot kitesurfing in different kite spots during the week. It’s a week long trip with a Luxury motoryacht as our home – we will be sleeping, eating in our restaurant on board, chilling and partying on our boat, ready to go kite every day.

Here you can find all our scheduled dates for 2027), but this week  is special as we said. The price remains the same – 1050€ for the full kite safari week.

The cruise will start from Elixir Beach Marina of Hurghada, Egypt. All you need to do is find a flight arriving right before Sunday 7am (that’s when the boat leaves the port), and we will take care of everything else.

If you need help for finding flights let us know – we will help you organize every detail of your trip. The airport of arrival is the Hurghada international airport (HRG). And if August is not a good time for your holidays, check our Kite Cruise weeks plan, to see if other dates may fit your schedule!

OUR BOAT

Heaven Liberty is one of the best boats available for Kite Cruises. It can hosts up to 26 kiters plus 4 kite guides, and it comes equipped with a full staff of sailors, captain and chef that will prepare for you 3 meals per day in our restaurant. There are several decks, a chill deck, a solarium, a restaurant, and plenty of space to make your holiday a very comfortable one. All cabins have twin beds, with their own private toilet, shower and air condition.

Heaven Liberty comes equipped with three zodiacs, that we will use to reach the lagoons and the islands of the Red Sea. We do not launch kites from the boat, but we do setup all our kite gear on the beach.

KITE CRUISE DAY BY DAY

DAY 1 – At arrival in Hurghada International Airport (HRG) you will find one of our team that will come with you, on our shuttle bus, directly to the boat. You will meet the rest of the kiters on board and get into your cabin. We will have time for a quick walk and for the first dinner on the boat, and maybe a drink before going to bed. We will be sleeping in Hurghada Marina the first night, ready to departure early the next morning.

DAY 2 – As early as possible we will leave Hurghada Marina and head to our first kitespot of our kite safari,  Abu Mungar. This is the perfect way to get started with a good warm up session, and after lunch we will do some more kiting in the same kite spot, till sunset. The boat is always available if you are tired and you need a bit of extra rest. After sunset we will head back to the boat for some drinks, dinner and some music on the main deck. We will be sleeping in Abu Mungar (on the boat obviously).

DAY 3 – This it the day. We will move to Abu Mungar and we will be kiting all day in Tawila waiting for the eclipse and with a chance to kite during it. We will be sleeping in Tawila.

DAY 4 – We will be staying all day kiting in Tawila – this day the boat will not be moving, so we will be sleeping in Tawila again.

DAY 5 – We will head to the north of the Red Sea, to reach Geisum Kite spot, one of my favorite kite spot. All day kiting in Geisum, then head to the boat for a well deserved sleep.

DAY 6 – Today we will do a downwinder, and to do that we will be moving from even further up north, from Ashrafi Islands, and kite back to Geisum. The downwinder is for intermediate riders only, but we will have plenty of time to kite for everyone else when we arrive back to Geisum. It will be a long day, so get prepared!

DAY 7 – This is the last kiting day, as we need to be back at the Hurghada Marina by sunset. We will kite in Geisum and head back to port, have a last dinner on the boat or maybe decide that we want to explore the town of El Gouna or Hurghada and have a few drinks in some bars. We will sleep on the boat in the marina.

DAY 8 – Last half day on the boat. We will have to leave the boat right after lunch and our shuttle bus will take you to the airport, depending on when you have scheduled your flights. If your flight is scheduled for later in the day, you can spend your day on the beach of have a last kiting day in El Gouna, at our favorite kite spot. See you next time!

This is basically the plan of the week – depending on the wind, since according to the wind forecast we may change our plan and route of the week. And in case of no wind, we have planned some action packed activities – wakeboarding, snorkeling and paddleboarding. In August though the wind is normally very constant and predictable, and we do expect a great windy season!
