About the day

The reef from the surface

Snorkellers come out on the same boat as the divers, with their own space on board. You need no training: we show you how to clear your snorkel and where to look before you get in, then you explore the reef from the surface.

Many of the sites around Hurghada are shallow, calm and clear, so there is plenty to see from the top: coral, reef fish, and sometimes turtles and rays. It is also a good day out for anyone travelling with divers who does not dive.

Snorkelling in Hurghada

More about snorkelling from the boat

Hurghada sits on the Red Sea coast of Egypt, and its reefs start close to the surface. That makes it an easy place to snorkel: you can see a great deal without ever going under.

What you might see

Hard and soft coral, reef fish, moray eels and lionfish, and with some luck turtles, rays or dolphins. What you see depends on the site and the day.

The water

The sea is about 22°C in winter and 29°C in summer. The best months are April to November.

What to bring

Swimwear, a towel, sun cream and a hat. A rash vest or T-shirt helps keep the sun off your back while you snorkel.

Travelling with divers

Snorkellers and divers share the boat, so a family or a group of friends can spend the day together, whatever each of them wants to do.

Questions

About the snorkelling day

You should be comfortable swimming in the sea.

Yes. Lunch is served on board, with soft drinks.

Yes. Snorkellers and divers go out on the same boat, and divers have their own guide.

Safety comes first. If the sea is too rough, the boat does not go out. The details are in our cancellation policy.
