The Experience

Hotel pickup starts the day, and you travel by air-conditioned vehicle to Hurghada Marina where the boat departs for Sabina Reef. The snorkel gear—mask, fins, snorkel and life jacket—is provided, so you arrive ready to enter the water without hunting for rentals or worrying about fit. A specialized guide leads the group and communicates in your choice of English, French, German or Arabic.

Sabina Reef is where the day centers. You spend the main hours in the water, moving at your own pace among the coral and fish. The guide stays with the group, and the life jacket is there if you want it. Lunch happens after, with a choice between a buffet or a set menu; water and soft drinks are free during the meal (other drinks cost extra). The return to your hotel closes the day, completing the 7.5-hour span from pickup to drop-off.
