Snorkeling Trip & Excursion from Safaga Port
Overview
Travel Joy Egypt invites visitors on an immersive day away from their ship discovering Hurghada’s spectacular Red Sea reefs.
This full-day shore excursion from Safaga Port takes cruise passengers to Hurghada's Red Sea reefs for a boat-based snorkeling trip around Giftun Island, with the possibility of spotting wild dolphins along the way.
After being met at the port, the group is driven about 45 minutes along the coast to Hurghada, where a tour boat is boarded for the day's offshore portion. The boat stops at several snorkeling sites known for coral formations and varied marine life, giving guests time in the water with provided equipment, while an open-buffet lunch is served on board between stops. The day is built around unhurried time on and in the water rather than a packed sightseeing schedule.
The tour includes port pickup and return, a private air-conditioned vehicle to Hurghada, a private English-speaking representative, snorkeling equipment, lunch on board, and mineral water and soft drinks during the cruise; tipping and any extras beyond the program are not included.
Because the itinerary is centered on marine life and the Red Sea rather than historical sites, this excursion suits cruise passengers looking for a beach-and-water day in Hurghada as a change of pace from Egypt's temple and museum tours, and it runs daily to match ship calls at Safaga.
