What fish species can I expect to catch?

The Red Sea around Hurghada hosts diverse local fish including grouper, snapper, emperor, and barracuda. Your experienced crew will guide you to the best grounds and advise on tackle for current conditions.

Is snorkeling equipment included?

Yes, all snorkeling gear (mask, fins, snorkel) and fishing equipment are provided as part of the tour.

Can I do only fishing or only snorkeling?

This tour combines both activities as a package. If you prefer just one, ask the supplier about alternative single-activity options or modified itineraries.

What does 'semi-private' mean?

Semi-private means your group shares the boat with a small number of other guests (typically 6–12 total), offering more personalized service and flexibility than large group tours while keeping costs lower than fully private charters.

How physically demanding is this tour?

Fishing is low-impact and suitable for most fitness levels. Snorkeling requires comfortable water entry and basic swimming ability. Crew assistance is available for both activities.

Bring sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, a light cover-up, a towel, and a waterproof bag for valuables. Consider seasickness medication if prone to motion sickness. Most other essentials and equipment are provided.

our guide Hassan was brilliant and a turtle gliding right under us was the highlight. Mid-week so it was quiet so it wasnt too busy. Handy if youre short on time, and saw turtles and 20+ fish easy, and used it for our summer trip. Would book again no question.
