Canadians scuba trip
This was a very good trip and I would recommend to go and take family to it. The people were friendly. The food was good and the experience was fantastic. There were a few pros and cons which I’ll put below. We went as a four person, family, two adults and two kids. PROS - The scenery is fantastic. They take you out into the middle of the ocean to scuba around a coral tower. It’s beautiful. - The people are very friendly and helpful - The lunch buffet was very tasty and had a decent selection for being on the boat - The hotel transfer people were on time and friendly - If you don’t wanna scuba, you can snorkel and they have gear that they will let you use for free and you get to see all the beautiful coral and fish almost just as well as if you go deep down - Boat is big and comfortable. It’s a very nice ride out there about 20 minutes out in 20 minutes back and it has on board bathrooms as well so not to worry. CONS - These are pretty big boats and the groups are normally around 20 people so we had to wait about half an hour on the boat before we left which was meh - They charge €10 per person as a national party fee which I find very strange considering we are out in the middle of the ocean so I personally think a lot of that money goes to the boat, but I don’t know for sure - The photos are pretty expensive for a group of three they will take some really nice photos and videos of you underwater but they want €120 which I think is way too much. I talked him down to €50 because there were some really good videos in it. - Another thing they don’t tell you is that the scuba instructors only take two people down at a time so if you’re in a group of three or four, and you all want to go scuba diving together it’s not gonna happen. I was pretty disappointed that I couldn’t go down with my wife and son at the same time. - I think it said unlimited drinks on the advertising but that not true. They had enough soda for maybe 2 small drinks each and then ran out. The water is unlimited. Overall, I’d say this was really worth it and I would recommend it. It was a great time on our holiday and a beautiful experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We’re delighted to hear that you and your family had a fantastic experience and enjoyed the beautiful coral reefs, snorkeling, diving, food, boat, and the friendliness of our team. We’d also like to clarify a few points mentioned in your review, simply to provide some additional information for future guests: Because this is a beginner experience and in cases where there are young children, we split family groups so that each child is accompanied by an adult and an instructor. This is done purely for safety and to ensure proper supervision underwater. Soft drinks and water are provided on an unlimited basis during the trip. Naturally, availability of specific soft drinks can sometimes be affected by the number of guests and individual consumption on board. Water remains available throughout the trip. The professional underwater photography and video service is completely optional. Guests are welcome to enjoy the experience without purchasing any photos or videos. The National park fee is a mandatory fee set by the relevant authorities. The diving and snorkeling sites visited are within protected National Park areas, and these fees contribute to the conservation and protection of the Red Sea’s reefs and marine environment. They are not a charge imposed by our company. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are especially happy that, overall, you found the experience worthwhile and enjoyed this special part of your holiday. Thank you again for choosing Goegyptia Tours, and we hope to welcome your family back to Egypt and the Red Sea in the future!

Overall, great experience and amazing staff.
Amazing experience for the first time. I did not like the fact that the governmental fee was not included in the admission fee. The length of the visit was okayish. It lasts from 9am to 3-4pm. Sounds like lot of hours but due to the large group, it was mor waiting than spending time in water. Good atmosphere. The staff was very dedicated and professional, bravo. I booked an Intro scuba diving and snorkeling and had only intro to scuba diving. I did not receive further information about this. Stay away for the photograph, we paid almost 100€ for the pictures, which in my opinion is unsane or maybe we were not good negatiator?
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback and for choosing GoEgyptia Tours! We're delighted that you enjoyed your first diving experience and appreciated the dedication of our team. As scuba diving is conducted in small instructor-led groups for safety, some waiting time between activities is normal on shared tours. The underwater photography service is completely optional, and guests are always free to decide whether to purchase the photos. Regarding the additional fee, we'd just like to clarify that the National Park fee is listed under the Exclusions section of the tour details, and we also send a reminder before departure to help avoid any surprises. If you were referring to a different charge, such as a bank or ATM withdrawal fee, that is unfortunately determined by the payment provider and is outside our control. Thank you again for your valuable feedback, and we hope to welcome you back for another Red Sea adventure! 🌊🤿

Diving boat trip
The day began after we left the hotel and headed to the boat. After the safety instructions, we dove into the sea and contemplated its marvelous beauty. Diving with ahmed was incredible. He is so professional and paid attention to everyone. Despite of big groups, other instructors was there with ever group according to their levels. Well amazing experience should do again. Small tip, if you had earlier introductory diving, try attending open water course with their diving center. They are really excellent and deserve it.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled you had an awesome time exploring with us — that’s exactly the kind of adventure we love to create. Hope to see you back soon for another epic Red Sea journey!

Epic day on the Red Sea.
Pick up was on time. The boat was clean and the staff were great. Diving was surreal—the coral colors are wild. Good food and worth every cent.

Beautiful and well organized diving experience
I joined scuba diving trip in Hurghada. The instructors were helpful and professional, and I felt safe during the whole activity. The coral reefs and fish were beautiful to see.

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hurghada Intro Scuba Diving And Snorkeling All Inclusive Day Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does Hurghada Intro Scuba Diving And Snorkeling All Inclusive Day Trip cost?
+
Prices start at $15 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 Hurghada Intro Scuba Diving And Snorkeling All Inclusive Day Trip 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 Hurghada Intro Scuba Diving And Snorkeling All Inclusive Day Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 28 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 Hurghada Intro Scuba Diving And Snorkeling All Inclusive Day Trip?
+
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 Hurghada Intro Scuba Diving And Snorkeling All Inclusive Day Trip suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hurghada Intro Scuba Diving And Snorkeling All Inclusive Day Trip?
+
Around 10 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 Hurghada Intro Scuba Diving And Snorkeling All Inclusive Day Trip 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.
