What is a sub wing and is it safe?

A sub wing (or tow kite) is an inflatable wing towed behind the boat that lifts you above the water. Safety equipment and operator experience are standard; your operator will brief you on technique and control before launching.

How long is the actual sub wing flying time?

Typically 15–30 minutes of active flying time is included, though this may vary. The remaining hours cover boat transit, island beach time, and safety briefing.

Is snorkeling included?

Snorkeling is not explicitly stated as included; however, operators often offer stops at reef sites during the journey. Confirm snorkeling availability and what gear is provided when booking.

Wear a swimsuit, water shoes (reef-safe), and a rash guard or lightweight shirt for sun protection. A life jacket is provided and required for sub wing activity.

Can I bring family or children?

Children can typically join the boat tour and enjoy island time, but sub wing participation may have age or height/weight restrictions. Check with your operator before booking.

Is hotel pickup included?

Most operators offer hotel pickup from Hurghada hotels; confirm this and the pickup time when you book. If staying outside central Hurghada, discuss alternative meeting points.

our captain Wei couldnt do enough for us and a hidden cove we anchored in to swim was the highlight, and worked great for a solo traveller like me, and stopped at 3 different bays, tbh
