Red Sea Snorkeling from Hurghada

Very nice excursion with 2 snorkel stops. We've seen dolphins too. The food on board was good and sufficient. All around a successful day.

This was such a great trip and so glad that I found it. The guides were friendly and made sure that everyone got the best experience possible. The waters were gorgeous shades of blue that are breath taking. We saw dolphins and were able to swim near them. Highly recommend!

It promised 3 snorkeling sites. The first one was a pristine reef with amazing abundance of fishes but there were about 30 boats at the same site, anchoring 4 deep, very crowded. The second one was a reef with mostly dead corals, overgrown with algae. The third site was the same reef, just about 100 yards over, on the other side; with the same dead corals and algae. The customers on the boat were about 50% local families where the fathers chain smoked. The other half was mostly Russians where both sexes chain smoked and started vodka shots around 9AM. The whole time they were blasting awful Russian pop, sounded like polka.

The guide gave us the starting time via WhatsApp. We got picked up on time from the lobby. Great tour was fun would recommend. The food was great too btw.

<p>It was an amazing day on the sea , thank you to all the team from the boat !</p>

<p>A modest journey. Recommended for those who have never seen the underwater world.<br/> Pieved you on an empty island where there is only the inscription paradise and nothing more.<br/> Snorkelling from the shore, seeing only a few coastal fish. Do not see sea turtles or other bigger fish.<br/> Life jackets are not even offered - especially for those who snorkel for the first time or do not swim.</p>

<p>Very friendly staff. Everything is arranged perfect, hotel pickup and return. The trip itself was nice and the snorkeling spot was perfect!!</p>

<p>loved this tour. our tour guides were great. They communicated with me before the trip to figure out where to pick me up, and when. The Red Sea was beautiful, and the staff was supe friendly and fun! Hi</p>

<p>Very well-organised from start to finish. Pick-up from our hotel arrived on time and took us to the dock where we boarded the boat after collecting complimentary equipment. The guys on board were super friendly and kept the children on the tour amused by making funny headgear from beach towels! We were clearly briefed on what to expect and the crew spoke multiple languages very impressively. The first snorkelling site was about an hour out to sea and immediately we got in the water we were surrounded by hundreds of beautiful exotic fish- our guide, Shark, even showed off an enormous eel. The fish were completely at ease with the humans and swam right up to and all around us. After a 45 min swim we got back on the boat and travelled a short distance to the next site where we were again surrounded by all sorts of sea creatures. Lunch was served on the boat after that and was delicious with a good variety of different dishes. After lunch the boat stopped at Giftun Island, where we were able to spend the time however we chose, sunbathing or swimming. There was plenty of coral with gorgeous fish just a few steps into the ocean and miles of white sand beaches so, even though there were many tour boats and tourists, it didnt feel crowded or overly busy. On the trip back we were invited to view the pictures the crew/ guides had taken throughout the day: although we were encouraged to buy the CDs of photos I didnt feel under pressure and chose not to make a purchase. On landing, our transport was waiting to take us back to our hotel. We were very pleased with the whole experience and would definitely recommend it.</p>

<p>Overall, good trip, the boat ride to the snorkeling area was pleasant and comfortable. Once at the location be prepared! With many other boats in the vicinity it is very crowded and is a bit of a 'free for all' although the guides tried to keep us together but it is very crowded. This part of the trip was a let down. Snorkeling was okay but I guess as the place was crowded by people I think this must have spooked the more exotic fish as we only saw a few. The staff on the boat and supporting in the sea were very good and not pushy on selling their photo's and videos back on the boat so this was very nice. I just think it was too rushed and crowded and with younger children, less able snorkelers it was not the best. Food was good and adequate so no issues there. If members want a more personal and a little more time then I would suggest a different trip. Value for money was okay but I was not prepared for the amount of other boats from other tour guides in the same location and arriving at the same time.</p>
