Snorkeling the Red Sea
One of the most popular (and fun) ways to discover the Red Sea, is through snorkeling. Snorkeling allows you to enjoy the amazing under water world of the Red Sea in a fun and safe way. Join us for a wonderful day on our boat and discover the Red Sea at your own pace. In most places you go snorkeling in huge groups of around 20 people, with a guide that is constantly shouting at you to follow him. You will see more fins of the person in front of you then you will see fish and corals. This is why we do things differently at Snorkeling Hurghada.
- Clownfish (nemo) and of course his friend dory
- Trumpet fish
- Blue spotted stingray
- Glass fish
- Zebra fish
- Anemones
- Parrot fish
- Lion fish
- Coral reefs or coral gardens
If you are lucky, you will also see:
- Octopus
- Muray eel
- Calamari
- Dolphins
- Turtle
- Nudi branch
This is just a very small example of what you will see during your snorkeling trip with Snorkeling Hurghada.
What does a daytrip with Snorkeling Hurghada look like?
When you join us, we will take care of everything. Our driver will pick you up at your hotel around 8:00 in the morning. When you arrive on the boat, we will give you a briefing on where you can find everything (toilets, water, tea, coffee etc). After we finish the briefing, you can go upstairs and find a nice spot on the sunroof. We have very comfortable couches with soft pillows you can relax on. There is space in the sun, but there is also enough space in the shadow.
Once all the guests have arrived, we set sail to the first location of the day. We always visit two different locations. When we reach the first location, we will show you where is the best spot to snorkel. If needed, we will explain you how to snorkel. You can use your own mask, or you can use one of ours. We also have fins available and, if you feel cold quick, you can use a wetsuit. We provide everything for you.
After we finish the briefing, you can jump into the water and enjoy the reef by yourself. So no big groups or annoying guide rushing you. You can decide if you want to discover the whole reef, or just follow one fish that interests you. This is completely up to you. Don’t feel like snorkeling? Then stay on deck and enjoy a book or listen to your music. Done with snorkeling after 10 minutes? Also fine! Want to stay in the water for an hour? You are more then welcome. Everything is possible and it is up to you to fill in your day.
When all the divers and snorkelers are back on the boat, we move to the second location of the day. Here we serve a lovely lunch on board. After lunch there is time to relax, or you can jump straight back in the water to explore the new reef. Again you will have plenty of time to snorkel or relax on deck.
In the end of the afternoon, we set sail back to the harbour. We will arrive here around 16:00-16:30. Our drivers will be waiting for you to take you back to your hotel. Time for a refreshing shower to wash off the salty sea and sit down to have a cold drink and look back on an amazing day of snorkeling with Snorkeling Hurghada.

What do I need to go snorkeling?
To be able to snorkel, you need a minimum of 4 things:
- Mask. The mask allows you to see clearly under the water and it prevents the (salty) water from stinging your eyes
- Breathing tube (snorkel). The snorkel allows you to breathe while you have your face in the water. This way, you can keep your face down while you swim along the reef or coral gardens
- Being able to swim. No matter how shallow the water is, you need to be able to swim before entering the water.
- Reef-safe sunscreen or rashguard. What many people forget, is that when you go snorkeling, the sun is burning your skin. You will not notice it because the water is cooling your skin. This is very dangerous. Therefore it is very important to apply reef-safe sunscreen before entering the water. Another option is to wear a rashguard. This is a t-shirt designed to wear in the water. It will protect you from the UV-sunrays and prevents you from burning while being in the water.
To make it more easy and fun for yourself, you can add a few more things:
- Fins. Using fins in the water, makes it easier for you to swim along the surface. You will be able to cover a bigger area and you will feel less exausted then when you would swim the same distance without fins.
- Under water camera. Ofcourse you wish to show your friends and family at home the amazing things you saw on your snorkeling trip. Nowadays they have waterproof covers in which you can put your phone. You can take it with you while you snorkel and capture all the wonderful things you saw.
- Wetsuit. In case you get cold quick, you can wear a wetsuit. The wetsuit is especially designed to keep you warm in the water. Another good thing, is that is makes you float real easy and makes snorkeling even more fun and easy.
As you can see, you don’t need alot to go snorkeling. And the most fun thing is: anyone that can swim, can join in! Young and old, big and small: everyone is welcome.
