Is hotel transfer really free?

Round-trip pickup from any Hurghada hotel is included at no extra cost. Hotels in El Gouna, Sahl Hasheesh and Makadi Bay are outside the Hurghada zone, so we charge +EUR 10 per guest one-way for the transfer, paid in cash on the day.

Swimsuit, towel, sunscreen, sunglasses, hat. We provide snorkel gear, lunch and bottled water.

Yes, children of all ages are welcome. Under-6 join for free, 6-11 pay 50%, 12+ pay adult price.

What if the weather is bad?

If we cancel the trip for safety reasons, you can rebook for any other date or receive a full refund.

Do I need to know how to swim?

No, snorkeling vests are provided and our crew stays in the water with first-time snorkelers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sea trips depend on safe sailing conditions. If the marina closes for safety, the captain cancels and we move you to another date for free or refund you in full.

Wildlife sightings (dolphins, turtles, rays) are possible but never guaranteed. We visit habitats where they are seen regularly, but they are wild animals.

Beautiful. The bay was a bit busy at lunchtime but the snorkel spots were quiet. Overall a brilliant day.

Free hotel transfer was actually free, no hidden anything. The bay itself is a postcard. Recommend.
