Welcome to the family: Why a Dragonfly Kite Safari is the perfect kitesurfing experience for solo travelers
/Traveling solo is one of the most rewarding ways to see the world, but it often comes with a common question: Will I be lonely? If you are a kitesurfer or wing foiler looking to join us on Egypt’s Red Sea for your 2026 vacation, the answer is a resounding "no." In fact, our kite safaris are perhaps the most effortless social experience in the world of adventure travel!
At Dragonfly Kite Safaris, we’ve seen hundreds of solo travelers arrive as strangers and leave as a tight-knit family by the following Saturday. Here is why the kite safari life is a solo traveler’s secret weapon for making lifelong kite friends.
1. The Power of "Shared Passion”
On a standard resort holiday, you might meet people with vastly different interests. On our kite safaris, every single person on board shares your passion for the wind and the water. This "shared passion” acts as an instant icebreaker. Whether you are discussing the day's conditions over a morning espresso or high-fiving after a sunset session at Tawila Island, you never have to "search" for a conversation starter.
2. Multiple Levels of Social Spaces
Life aboard our brand-new flagship yacht, DRAGON, is designed for connection. A kite safari with us is enjoyed in communal, luxury spaces. From buffet-style gourmet meals to sundowners on the top deck, the environment naturally encourages storytelling. You aren’t just "eating at a restaurant"—you are sharing a table with like-minded adventurers from around the globe. And as the largest yacht on the Red Sea, there is always plenty of space for you to find your solitude if you choose.
3. This Ain’t No Disco
No need to worry about loud music or late-night parties keeping you awake—we strictly prohibit both and encourage our guests to engage in evenings of organic socialization over a glass of wine or beer before getting to sleep early in order to be well rested for the next day’s adventure on the water. Our kite safaris have become renowned for their respectful and elevated style that ensures a quality evening experience for everyone.
4. Built In Support System
Kitesurfing is inherently social—the community looks out for one another. Our award-winning beach team and your fellow riders become your support network during a kite safari. This "we’re all in this together" philosophy builds a level of trust and camaraderie that you simply don’t find at mainland kite schools. Whether you are a Day One beginner or an advanced rider, you’ll be sharing the experience with everyone as one big family for the week.
5. Say Goodbye "Single Supplement" Stress
We believe solo travel should be accessible. That’s why we offer the option to share a spacious two-bed room with another solo traveler of the same sex and similar nationality. If you want to book a room as single occupancy, that upgrade is available, but the vast majority of our solo guests choose to share a room and find the experience a memorable part of their week.
