Hula Hula Island Snorkeling Cruise from Hurghada with Lunch

Snorkel two coral reefs, then spend the afternoon on a Red Sea island with white sand and turquoise water.

A full-day snorkeling cruise from Hurghada to Hula Hula Island in the Red Sea includes hotel pickup, two guided snorkeling sessions with equipment, 2 hours on the island, and an onboard buffet lunch with unlimited soft drinks and coffee. The boat departs from the Hurghada marina and returns by evening; guides speak multiple languages and the activity suits all fitness levels. Optional parasailing is available for an extra fee.

The Experience

You start the day with hotel pickup in Hurghada and a transfer to the marina in an air-conditioned vehicle. Once onboard, the boat heads out across the Red Sea toward two snorkeling stops at coral reef sites. Each stop lasts 30–45 minutes, with a professional guide in the water alongside you and all equipment provided — mask, fins, life jacket. The guides work with all levels, so whether you've snorkeled before or this is your first time, the pace and depth are managed for your comfort.

After the second reef, the boat heads to Hula Hula Island itself. You get around 2 hours there to swim in the turquoise water, lie on the white sand, or simply sit and watch the sea. There's no schedule to keep during this stretch — it's the break in the day built in. While you're on the island or back onboard, lunch arrives: a buffet spread with unlimited soft drinks, tea, and coffee served while you take in the views. The whole experience runs 8 hours from pickup to drop-off.

If you want more than snorkeling and swimming, parasailing is available for an extra cost — you can arrange it when you book or ask the guide on the day. The boat, the guides, the equipment, the meal, and the transfer back to your hotel are all included; you just show up at pickup time.
