Kite Safari on Trip Advisor – which kite safari operator to choose
Tripadvisor, the popular online review platform, ranks everything – restaurants, bars, hotels, attractions, services, and of course, kite safari operators. Here, I will rank the best kite safari operators on Tripadvisor, but I want to make one thing very clear: having the best ranking on Tripadvisor doesn’t necessarily mean a kite safari organizer is the best.
I personally use Tripadvisor to ensure an operator is legitimate – no scams and no frauds are fundamental when booking an experience. A kite safari is not a pair of shoes that you can simply replace if they’re not great or comfortable – it’s a week-long adventure, and an expensive one.
So, if a kite safari operator has a lot of reviews and most of them are positive, you should be generally satisfied. I don’t read every negative or positive review because it’s natural for a kiter to occasionally have a less-than-perfect experience on board, and they have every right to express that. Not all reviews are accurate, and sometimes things can be a bit exaggerated. So, take the reviews you read with a grain of salt. Said that, let’s go with the ranking:
DragonFly Kite Safaris
Ranked number 1 on Tripadviros, DragonFly organizes luxury kite safaris since many years in the Red Sea. They focus mostly on luxury trips, and that reflects on the price.
Sick Dog Surf
That’s us – Roberto started in 2015 and slowly expanded his Kite Safari European Team with Sophie, Paulina & Kasia, and we are going strong ever since. With our own luxury yacht, I like to think of our trips as organized, reasonably priced and fun. And a lot of kitesurfing of course.
Kite Marine
School from Check Republic that travels to Egypt in selected dates, I don’t know them very well honestly.
Egypsy Wanderlust
Mou has an Italian Kite School based in Garda Lake, and he is spending more and more time on a cruise in Egypt around the islands of the Red Sea. A fun team to be around, and great energy on their boat.
Kite Tribe
Located in El Gouna, they organize a few trips per year, but always good ones. Led by Mia Ayoub and Toni.
Discovery Kite
Alice and Momo organize kite safari since many years, recommended.
Nomad Kite
Also in El Gouna, and also sometimes at sea – they mix the two activities of a kite school at land with some cruises around Egypt. Gogo and his team will welcome you on board.
Red Sea Kite
Mostly for polish kiters, Red Sea Kite is slowly organizing trips also for other nationalities. Ola is in charge with her team.
Egypt Kitesurfing Cruise
The guys from The Rider Experience decided to make a new brand for their kitesurfing cruises, and here they are!
All these operators are good in my opinion – the key in choosing the right kite safari is for you to find the right combination of dates/price/nationality of the other kiters. Always ask information before booking a trip – the more questions, the better.
