Kite Safari Kids

Is there an age restriction for a Kite Safari in Egypt?

Is there an age restriction for a Kite Safari in Egypt?

Kite safaris in Egypt are open to all ages – We’ve designed special kitesurfing programs specifically for kids aged 6 to 12. For children under 6, kitesurfing training isn’t possible, but they’re more than welcome to join the adventure, enjoying a fun and memorable cruise with their parents.

We have often children on board, and they all have good fun. But kitesurfing is not for everyone – kids can start kitesurfing from 8/9 years old, and I feel confident teaching them if they are at least 35/40kg. Some kite schools only allows kids from 11 years of age to start training – I believe though that a younger kid can be mature and committed enough to learn to kite. Younger than 8, a kid would simply fly a trainer kite and in the right condition learn how to fly a regular kite, always under extra strict supervision. A Kite Safari is a perfect occasion to get started, with the promise to continue their training once they are physically and mentally ready.

COST FOR A KID ON A KITE SAFARI

Children typically pay the same rate as adults if they occupy their own bed on board. However, if a child is small enough to share a bed with their parents, the cost is reduced to just the marine park fee (60€) and tips for the egyptian crew of the yacht (60€).

ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS

Kitesurfing,of course – but it depends on the child’s confidence in the water, weight, and wind conditions. Safety is our top priority, and we only teach kitesurfing to kids when we can ensure a completely safe experience, ase mentioned above.

Wakeboarding, Stand up paddle, Snorkeling – these are all fun activities that 100% welcome kids!

Beaches are beautiful in Egypt, making them the perfect place for kids to play and have fun while we kite. Beach Olympics are a classic of our kite safari, enjoyed by adults and kids alike.

I love kitesurfing, travelling, and making short walks with my dog. I organize kite cruises in Egypt since 2014, you may find me in some windy beach pretty much all year round when I’m not on the boat, may it be Egypt, Cape Verde, Mauritius or Greece. I drink red wine and play (badly) the guitar. You can contact me at +201009410388 (whatsapp or calls) or just email me at [email protected] Hope to see you on board one of these days!
