+ Family like atmosphere at Ibi & Friends Kiteclub Seahorse Bay
+ Living right at the spot, without TukTuk rides
+ Complete packages for beginner, intermediate and advanced
+ Limited availability for more space on the water
+ From bed to board: 20 meters from your room to the spot
+ Holiday destination for single travelers, families and couples

Together with our longtime partner and friends from Ibi & Friends we discovered and developed Seahorse Bay between Hurghada and El Gouna for kitesurfers. The new and comfortable kite villas have been opened. Due to the perfect conditions here, we decided to make an exclusive contract with the Kite Club in Seahorse Bay.

Right at this new spot there are indeed three things that we haven’t seen in Egypt anywhere else:

1. Accommodations right at the spot (even on the kite school area): You have the choice between three different accommodations right at the spot with no more than a five minutes walk from the new kite centre. Missing out on wind because of tuk-tuk rides or late busses belong in the past.

2. Limited guest number for more space on the water: The number of kitesurf beginners and storages for kite equipment is limited, so you’ll always have enough space on the water.

3. Kiting at low tide: Like everywhere in Egypt the water runs out of the Seahorse Bay at low tide. However, experienced kitesurfers can kitesurf independent of the tide in the so-called “pool” in the ocean.

At our Seahorse Bay, we offer a special “no-worries packages”, in which everything is included. It doesnt matter if you are a beginner or advanced kiter, with this package everything you need is covered. Also your non-kiting company won’t get bored.

Kitesurfing at Seahorse Bay

Spot

Thanks to the large shallow water area and the stable wind direction the spot is perfect for beginners. There is enough space in the lagoon as the number of students and storage slots are limited. This is why neither beginners nor advanced kiters feel restricted.

The shallow lagoon with its sandy bottom, joined with the fact that there are more than 70% windy days a year provides ideal conditions for unforgettable kitesurf sessions.
Experienced kitesurfers can kitesurf independent of the tide in the so-called “pool” in the ocean.

We recommend wearing booties due to shells and stones in the water.

Alternative activities

Included in the package price

Excursion to Hurghada

You’ll head to old Hurghada with a local that shows you how to experience Egypt for real. You can snatch up some good deals at a bazaar and try some local delicacies. Afterwards we will have some drinks at a cocktail bar with live music.

Excursion to El Gouna

Our second evening excursion goes to the tourist city El Gouna. An entirely different evening awaits you. For lots of regular tourists this is paradise – you should at least see it once, just to be able to talk about it. We’ll show you the best restaurants and bars in the marina. You can smoke shisha, chill out and party it up.

Barbecue and bonfire night

One night a week is set aside for the Kite Club Seahorse Bay. We fire up the Barbecue and the bonfire to chill and feast in the garden while chatting about the latest kites and moves. Afterwards we hang around at the oriental corner, smoking a shisha and getting into the right mood for the upcoming days.

Climbing wall

At the back of the Kite Club you will find a brand new three meters’ high climbing wall where you can try out several parcours. Climbing is a perfect addition to kitesurfing and is a lot of fun as well.

Beach volleyball

On the beach of the Kite Club we can set up a fully equipped beach volleyball field where you can challenge the other guests for a nice match.

SUP

Stand-up-paddling is the fitness trend of the last years. No matter if you watch the big wave surfers on Hawaii or you go to the flat water river around the corner, SUPs are everywhere.

We have four sets of SUPs at the Kite Club which you can use at any time.

Snorkeling

KiteWorldWide guests can get snorkeling gear for free at our Kite Club and explore the close reef.

Activities you can book at sight (additional charges)

Diving

The Red Sea is also known for its beautiful diving areas and offers the possibility to experience astonishing diving or snorkeling day trips. Diving excursions as well as lessons are available at the diving school, which is only five minutes away. It has its own diving boats starting right in front of the Calimera.

Quad biking tours

With a bunch of horsepower under your buttocks and in small groups including a local guide you will be cruising through the desert of Egypt. It is up to you whether you want to gently cruise around and enjoy the beautiful landscape or taking those machines to top speed drifting through the soft sand.

Excursion to Luxor or Cairo

Day trips to Luxor and its ‘Valley of the Kings and Thebes’ or to Cairo are recommended and totally worth the drive. You should just keep in mind that those excursions will take a whole day so you might want to check the wind prior to the booking.

There’s tons more to experience. The team at Kite Club Seahorse Bay would love to help you find just the right activities for you!
