Full Description

Travel from Hurghada to El Gouna

Begin your eight-hour day out with pickup from your Hurghada hotel and a transfer to El Gouna. Your pickup point is the main entrance at the hotel's roadside gate rather than the reception area. After reaching the resort town, meet your captain and prepare for a private-group speedboat excursion on the Red Sea. The itinerary combines time on the water with an apartment break, a look around El Gouna, and free time at Abu Tig Marina. This variety makes the outing suitable for visitors who want more than a conventional snorkeling trip.

Cruise by Speedboat and Look for Dolphins

Head onto the water for a scenic speedboat cruise accompanied by your captain. Enjoy the refreshing sea breeze and coastal views while keeping an eye out for dolphins in their natural environment. Dolphin watching is an opportunity rather than a guaranteed encounter, since wild animals choose where and when to appear. A shaded area aboard the boat provides relief from direct sunshine, and life jackets are supplied. Mineral water, soft drinks, and fresh seasonal fruit are included as refreshments. Your captain manages the boat while your group enjoys the changing Red Sea scenery.

Enjoy Snorkeling and Possible Additional Stops

The marine portion of the trip includes snorkeling stops, offering time to enter the water and explore beneath the surface. Follow your captain's instructions and assess conditions before swimming. The sample itinerary also mentions a possible additional snorkeling stop and a visit around Bayoud, but optional stops depend on the day's actual route. Snorkeling equipment is not specifically listed among the inclusions, so confirm whether you should bring your own mask, snorkel, and fins. Sea conditions and the captain's decisions may influence where the boat stops and how activities unfold.

Refresh in a One-Bedroom Day-Use Apartment

After the sea adventure, enjoy access to a one-bedroom apartment for a short daytime break. This is a practical feature of the package: you can shower, change out of wet clothing, and prepare comfortably for the land-based portion of the outing. The apartment is intended for refreshment and changing, not an overnight stay. Bring a towel and any personal items you will need after snorkeling. Having this pause between the speedboat and the marina gives your group an opportunity to feel refreshed before exploring El Gouna's streets and waterfront atmosphere.

See El Gouna and Explore Abu Tig Marina

Continue with a short city sightseeing drive lasting approximately twenty to thirty minutes, offering a glimpse of El Gouna beyond its waterways. Then spend around two hours at Abu Tig Marina, where the promenade overlooks moored boats and waterfront venues. Walk at your own pace, take photographs, or choose a restaurant or bar if you would like to purchase food or drinks. Restaurant bills and other personal spending are not listed as included. The marina visit adds independent leisure time to a day that began with a more active speedboat experience.

Prepare for Pickup and Your Return Journey

At the end of your marina visit, meet the arranged transport for your return to Hurghada. Pickup details are sent by email at approximately 10 pm on the evening before the trip. Pickup may vary by one to one and a half hours. Provide your nationality, hotel name, address, and room number accurately. Be at the roadside main gate on time; the operator states that drivers can wait no longer than five minutes. A nature reserve fee of five euros per person is payable on the day, and transfers from more distant areas require an additional booking option.

Booking Reminder

Before booking, confirm your preferred date, hotel location, number of guests, and snorkeling equipment availability. Provide your correct nationality, hotel name, address, and room number. Pickup information will be emailed at approximately 10 PM the evening before your trip. Be ready at the hotel's roadside main gate; the driver can wait a maximum of five minutes. Bring a towel, sunscreen, and cash for the €5 per-person nature reserve fee. Extra transfer charges may apply outside Hurghada.
