Sea all around Soma Bay and a driver to the boat: islands, Dolphin House, dives, speed boats and semi-submarines.
Soma Bay is surrounded by the sea, yet none of these boats start there. Our driver takes you north from your hotel to the marina in Hurghada, where you board, and brings you back to Soma Bay once the boat is in. Island days lead to Orange Bay, Paradise, Bianca, Hula Hula, Mahmya or Eden Island, usually with two snorkeling stops on the reefs. On Mahmya and Eden, lunch is served on the island itself.
Other boats have a theme. Sail to Orange Bay on a pirate boat or with more deck space on the Elite VIP boat, combine Orange Bay and Magawish in one day, or spend a beach day on the new Ozirea Island. Dolphin House offers a good chance of wild dolphins and two snorkeling stops. Divers, including complete beginners, can take the boat with 2 dives and PADI instructors, or add a first dive to an Orange Bay day.
Some guests prefer to watch rather than swim. The Sea Scope semi-submarine and a private glass bottom boat do that from Hurghada, while the Panorama semi-submarine and the Nefertari, with its underwater deck, start in Makadi Bay, between Soma Bay and Hurghada. For a boat of your own, private speed boats go to Orange Bay, Hula Hula, Magawish or Dolphin House with a captain only for your group. We send the pickup time on WhatsApp or Telegram.
