What water sports are included in the 4-hour trip?

The tour emphasizes snorkeling at coral reefs around Abo Munkar Island. Specific water sports available may include snorkeling and activities offered on the island; confirm the exact package when booking, as options can vary.

Is hotel pickup included?

Hotel pickup from Hurghada is typically included, though this should be confirmed at booking. You'll receive specific meeting details and pick-up times when you reserve.

Do I need to be an experienced swimmer or diver?

No formal diving certification is needed. Snorkeling requires basic comfort in water and the ability to breathe through a snorkel. The semi-private format allows guides to adjust to your skill level.

What's included in the price, and what do I bring?

Snorkeling equipment (mask, fins, snorkel), boat transfer, and guide service are provided. Bring sunscreen, a towel, a change of clothes, and any personal medications. A waterproof bag for valuables is strongly recommended.

How rough is the speedboat ride, and can I get seasick?

Speedboats crossing the open Red Sea can be bumpy, especially if seas are choppy. Eat lightly beforehand, sit toward the center of the boat, and consider motion-sickness medication if prone to seasickness. Conditions are generally calmest October–April.

What's the difference between this semi-private tour and larger group tours?

Semi-private groups are typically smaller (under 12 people) compared to 30+ on standard tours, offering more personalized attention, flexibility, and a quieter snorkeling experience. You'll see the same reefs but with fewer crowds.

Insider tips

★Arrive early at the meeting point to secure a comfortable seat on the speedboat and get a safety briefing.
★Bring a rash guard or wetsuit if you're sensitive to sun exposure; the Red Sea sun reflects off the water intensely.
★Waterproof your valuables or leave them onshore—saltwater and speedboat spray are inevitable.
★Eat a light breakfast before departure; the boat's motion may cause nausea on an empty stomach.

So nice this one, jumping off the back into clear water was amazing and Ana the captain explain everything good. Better than Marrakech for sure, we go again!

our captain Joseph was nice enough, but the little blue cave stop felt a bit rushed honestly, and would only really suit you if youre not fussy, got loads of photos.
