Itinerary
Day 1
Full excursion: hotel pickup, semi-submarine / glass-bottom boat cruise with guided reef commentary, 30-minute guided snorkeling stop, return to hotel.
Hotel pickup and transfer to Hurghada Marina
We pick you up from your hotel in Hurghada and transfer you by A/C vehicle to Hurghada Marina for boarding. Exact pickup time is confirmed in advance by WhatsApp; allow a short local transfer time between most Hurghada city hotels and the marina.
Tips from local experts:
- Provide your hotel name and room number in advance so hotel security can clear your pickup quickly.
- Have light sun protection (hat, sunscreen) ready for the short walk from the vehicle to the marina.
- Bring any necessary child-care items (snacks, diaper/baby supplies); the transfer is short but should be comfortable for young children.
Semi-submarine / Glass-bottom boat cruise (1 hour)
Board at Hurghada Marina for a 60-minute semi-submarine / glass-bottom boat cruise. The captain and guide will provide live commentary on the coral reef systems and marine species observed below.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive at the boarding point 10 minutes before departure to secure family seating and allow children to settle.
- Use the boat's shaded areas to keep children comfortable; the viewing area is best for short, seated observation periods.
- If your child uses a life jacket, inform the crew so they can provide the correct size before departure.
Guided snorkeling stop (30 minutes)
After the semi-submarine portion, stop at a nearby coral reef for a 30-minute guided snorkeling session. Snorkeling equipment and a guide are provided; life jackets are available for children and non-swimmers.
Tips from local experts:
- Put on sunscreen at least 15 minutes before entering the water and avoid applying heavy lotions that can irritate coral.
- Ask the guide for a short safety briefing and request a child-sized life jacket if needed; guides escort families in the water.
- Keep a dry bag or small towel on the boat for wet items and change children promptly after snorkeling to avoid chilled little ones.
Return to marina and hotel drop-off
Relax on the short return sail to Hurghada Marina and transfer back to your hotel in Hurghada by A/C vehicle. Drop-off is at your hotel; please keep personal items ready before disembarking.
Tips from local experts:
- Dry off and bring a change of clothes for children before boarding the transfer vehicle for comfort on the ride back.
- Collect all personal items (towels, snorkeling masks) from the boat before disembarking; crew will announce disembarkation procedures.
- If you need assistance carrying young children or gear to the transfer vehicle, notify the crew at the marina for help.
