FAQ

Are standard entrance tickets included?

The tour price includes all standard admission tickets required for the visits and activities listed in this itinerary. Optional visits and special-access upgrades outside the listed itinerary cost extra.

Do I need to be able to swim?

Life jackets are provided and the crew stays with the group in the water, so confident non-swimmers can usually take part in surface activities. If you cannot swim at all, tell us when booking and we will confirm whether this particular trip works for you or suggest a dry alternative such as the glass bottom boat or submarine.

Is equipment included, or should I bring my own?

Masks, snorkels, fins and life jackets are provided and sanitised between trips. Bring a towel, swimwear, reef-safe sunscreen and a waterproof phone case. If you prefer your own mask for fit, you are welcome to bring it.

What if I get seasick?

The Red Sea is usually calm in the morning and choppier after midday, so most trips do the main stops early. Take your medication about an hour before boarding, sit on the lower deck near the centre of the boat and keep your eyes on the horizon. Tell the crew and they will find you the steadiest spot.

Are hotel transfers included?

Yes. You are collected from your hotel in Hurghada, Makadi, Sahl Hasheesh or El Gouna and returned there afterwards. Tell us your hotel name when booking so we can confirm the pickup time, which varies by area.

I am travelling with children. Do they pay the full price?

Child rates depend on age, room occupancy and the hotel or cruise policy. Send each child age for a confirmed quote.

Is the price per person or for the whole group?

On this Hurghada trip the published rate is $73 for one traveller, $66 each for two, $64 each for three, and $63 each from four people upward. All prices on this page are in US dollars per person, and the rate drops as the group grows because the vehicle, guide and driver are shared across more travellers. Holiday departures over Christmas, New Year and Easter are quoted separately as they carry a supplement.

How do I book this tour?
