Red Sea Snorkeling Trip from Hurghada
Overview
Dive into the breathtaking underwater world of the Red Sea on our full-day snorkeling adventure from Hurghada.
This full-day boat trip from Hurghada combines Red Sea snorkeling with time ashore on a sandy "desert island" stretch, giving the day a mix of swimming and simply relaxing in the sun. Hotel pickup starts the morning, followed by a transfer to the jetty where the snorkeling boat departs for several prime reef locations.
An English-speaking guide leads the snorkeling and is on hand to answer questions throughout the day, and in season there is a chance, though never a guarantee, of spotting dolphins along the route. Time on the island lets guests dry off, sunbathe, or simply take a break between swims before the boat continues.
An open-buffet lunch is served on board, with mineral water and soft drinks included for the duration of the trip, and all essential snorkeling gear is supplied so nothing needs to be packed in advance. Round-trip hotel transfers within Hurghada, the guide, equipment, lunch, and drinks are all part of the included price, along with applicable service charges and taxes.
Only personal spending and gratuities for the guide and crew are left out. Because everything from transport to gear to food is handled in one booking, this suits travelers based in Hurghada who want an easy, guided day on the water without arranging any of the pieces themselves.
