    Snorkeling in the Red Sea

    I booked a 2 hour Red Sea submarine cruise with snorkeling for the 4 of us. They fetched us from our hotel and everything was well organized. The boat was clean and I loved the bright yellow color! The view from below was fantastic, we even saw stingrays swim past, my kids loved it. We were the only group that opted to snorkel and it was so worth it! My daughter is 6yrs and the guide stayed with her in the water the whole time. We all felt safe and looked after. They even gave us complimentary cola to drink afterwards and yes there were things to buy on board but we didn't feel any pressure to buy anything. Everyone was very respectful. I definitely recommend this for families with kids, great experience!

    Fantastic Trip

    Very well organised. Good crew with a very safe feeling vessel. Saw loads of fish and few turtles with a bit of time to snorkel

    Value vs Money

    This is quite average, but appropriate value for money. Don’t expect something very great. While the submarine time is 45 mins it is actually less then 30 in real terms.

    Safaga & Makadi Bay: Royal Seascope Submarine cruise with pickup: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.

    How much does Safaga & Makadi Bay: Royal Seascope Submarine cruise with pickup cost?

    +

    Prices start at $23 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 Safaga & Makadi Bay: Royal Seascope Submarine cruise with pickup take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Safaga & Makadi Bay: Royal Seascope Submarine cruise with pickup worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 75 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 Safaga & Makadi Bay: Royal Seascope Submarine cruise with pickup?

    +

    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 Safaga & Makadi Bay: Royal Seascope Submarine cruise with pickup suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Safaga & Makadi Bay: Royal Seascope Submarine cruise with pickup?

    +

    Around 26 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Safaga & Makadi Bay: Royal Seascope Submarine cruise with pickup 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 Diving Adventure one Day with two Dives Boat Trip, Hurghada to Cairo: Pyramids & Museum for First-Time Visitors, Hurghada Scuba Diving Full Day Boat Trip With Lunch & Transfer. 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.
