Mask on, coral below: reef stops off the islands near Hurghada for El Gouna guests, beginners welcome.
El Gouna is a water sports town, and snorkeling is the easiest sport of all. Put on a mask off one of the islands near Hurghada and you see coral gardens and bright fish right below you. Six island days on this page, to Orange Bay, Mahmya, Paradise, Eden, Bianca and Hula Hula, pair beach time with two reef stops and the gear you need. A driver takes you from your hotel to the boat in Hurghada, and beginners are welcome.
Near Dolphin House you swim at two reefs in waters that wild dolphins visit often. The Elite VIP boat and the pirate sailing boat drop anchor at reefs as well, and the Orange Bay and Magawish day breaks for a swim on the way. Ready to go under? On the scuba diving boat trip, PADI instructors lead 2 dives at 2 reefs, and one Orange Bay trip has an optional first dive.
For a private outing, book a speed boat to Orange Bay, Hula Hula Island, Magawish Island or Dolphin House with your own captain, or the private glass bottom boat for up to 8 people with a reef stop. Gear, lunch and island fees vary by trip, so read each page. Your El Gouna pickup time comes by WhatsApp or Telegram after booking.
