El Gouna
We start around 8 AM. If you're not staying at the Cook's Club Hotel, that's not a problem. We will pick you up from any hotel or apartment in El Gouna. Our private bus will take us to the nearby Abydos harbor within El Gouna, which is just a few minutes away. From there, we will start with our 25-meter long boat "Vienna" to the first of the 55 accessible snorkeling sites. During the ride, you can relax on the sun deck. Upon arrival at the first site, you will participate in the briefing and then enjoy your snorkeling experience. Before the site, you will have the opportunity to have lunch (charged separately). After lunch, you can rest a bit while we head to the next site, where you can enjoy another snorkeling experience after the briefing. Afterwards, we will return to the harbor, where the bus will be waiting to take you back.

Amazing experience from start to finish!
The crew was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and really put effort into creating a fun and enjoyable atmosphere for everyone. The staff were super nice and made the whole trip feel special. The lunch was delicious, and the snorkeling was absolutely incredible. We saw stunning coral reefs, lots of beautiful fish, and even got to swim with dolphins – an unforgettable experience! Definitely a must-do experience if you’re visiting the area. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

An excellent place and very professional!
A very good place for snorkeling or diving! Very professional and excellent support. They even provide us with diving suits in excellent condition for snorkeling because the water was still a bit chilly. I can only recommend it!

Great snorkeling trip!!!
What a wonderful day we had. Yesterday we were picked up and taken to the location to try on our stuff. Picked up this morning to go to the boat. Had a lovely cruise with explanations on the way about where we would snorkel. And what a beautiful location it was. Lots of beautiful fish and we were lucky there was a dolphin. Super fun to experience. The crew was super attentive and alert. I felt very safe.

Awesome family friendly snorkeling trip
The snorkeling trip was absolutely awesome, we went on a non windy and sunny day. My son (10 y.o.) had no previous snorkeling experience and loved it, the guides were checking up very regularly on the kids while in the water and provided an overall feeling of safety. We saw plenty of fish and even dolphins (which is never a guarantee). The team took us for a wetsuit fitting the day before to make sure everything fit perfectly, it was overall greatly organized. When you go, make sure to bring your own towels and wear your own bathing clothes underneath the wetsuit because there are only two very tiny toilets and no changing cabins on the boat. Thanks to bluebrothers for this experience! <3

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
El Gouna Full-Day Snorkeling Tour with Equipment: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does El Gouna Full-Day Snorkeling Tour with Equipment cost?
+
Prices start at $42 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hurghada usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does El Gouna Full-Day Snorkeling Tour with Equipment take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hurghada is not rushed.
Is El Gouna Full-Day Snorkeling Tour with Equipment worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hurghada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule El Gouna Full-Day Snorkeling Tour with Equipment?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is El Gouna Full-Day Snorkeling Tour with Equipment suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 4. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book El Gouna Full-Day Snorkeling Tour with Equipment?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hurghada can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hurghada and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does El Gouna Full-Day Snorkeling Tour with Equipment start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hurghada within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hurghada?
+
On Outty we rank every Hurghada experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hurghada: Luxor Valley of the Kings & Tutankhamun Tomb Trip, Orange Bay Island, Luxury Cruise to Orange Bay and Hula Hula island Trip. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hurghada?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hurghada?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
