Itinerary, stop by stop
- Start
Your expert guide picks you up from your accommodation in a private, air-conditioned vehicle and takes you to Sharm El-Naga, south of Hurghada.
- Stop 1
Snorkeling at Sharm El-Naga Reef
You arrive at the sheltered bay of Sharm El-Naga, a protected marine reserve with a soft sandy beach and clear water. From the shore you step straight into the calm sea and snorkel over the house reef.
Schools of tropical fish, parrotfish, butterflyfish and clownfish swim among the corals, while small sea creatures peek out from hidden cracks. Snorkeling equipment (mask, snorkel and fins) is included.
- Stop 2
Coral Gardens
Gliding over the gently sloping reef, you reach the deeper coral gardens, where fire corals and fan corals move with the current.
Sunlight filters through the clear water and casts golden patterns on the seabed, so you get a good look at the shapes and colors of the reef below you.
- Stop 3
Beach Break
After your first snorkeling session, you take a relaxing break on the beach.
Shaded spots and loungers let you rest and take in the quiet surroundings of the bay, or you can stroll along the shore at your own pace before lunch is served at the beachside restaurant.
- Lunch
Lunch
Lunch is served at a beachside restaurant, with local and international dishes. The atmosphere is relaxed and barefoot, right by the sea, so you can rest and recharge before you head back into the water for your second snorkeling session of the day.
- Stop 4
Second Snorkeling Session
Refreshed, you return to the reef for another snorkeling session and explore new coral zones.
Keep an eye out for the marine life you may have missed earlier, from hidden damselfish to shy moray eels tucked between the rocks and corals of the reef.
- End
At the end of the day, we drop you back at your accommodation in a private, air-conditioned vehicle.
