Information only
hurghadasnorkeling.guide is an independent editorial site. Everything on it — guides, prices, maps, tables, reviews and editorial scores — is general information to help you plan a holiday. It is not legal, medical, financial or safety advice, and it does not replace the briefing of your boat crew, your snorkel guide or your dive instructor.
We check facts against official and operator sources, Egyptian press and official travel advice, and we date our pages. Even so, fees, port rules, timetables and operators change often in Egypt, sometimes at short notice. We cannot guarantee that every detail is complete, current or correct on the day you travel. If you find an error, please tell us at info@hurghadasnorkeling.guide.
Not affiliated with any operator or authority
We are not the official site of, and are not affiliated with, any boat operator, dive centre, beach club, hotel, the Red Sea protectorates or any Egyptian authority. Company names, trading names and place names are used only to describe and identify them. Our reviews and editorial scores are our own opinion based on the facts available to us; they are not an average of customer ratings and no company pays for them.
Prices, fees and availability
Platform prices on this site are "from" prices read from GetYourGuide, Headout and Tiqets on the date shown. They can change at any time and depend on the date, the option and the number of guests you choose. Some boat prices are for the whole boat and others per person; the listing on the platform is what counts. Direct prices quoted from operators' own sites, and official fees such as protectorate fees, can change without notice.
We do not set prices and are not responsible for price differences between our pages and the platform, for cash charges an operator asks for on the day, or for changes to a trip's content, timing, boat or route.
Bookings are with the platform and the operator
We do not sell trips. When you book through a link on this site, your contract is with the platform and the local boat company or venue, under their terms and cancellation rules. We are not a party to that contract and cannot change, cancel or refund a booking.
We are not responsible for operators' changes, weather cancellations, port closures ordered by the Red Sea Ports Authority, or a platform's decisions on refunds. See GetYourGuide vs Headout for how the platforms handle cancellations, and our terms of use for the full conditions.
Safety at sea
Snorkeling, swimming, diving and water sports carry real risks: currents, waves, sun and heat, seasickness, marine life and boat traffic. Wildlife is wild — we never promise dolphins, turtles or any other animal, and no operator can.
You take part in any activity at your own risk and are responsible for judging whether it suits your health, your swimming ability and your children. Follow the crew's instructions, wear a lifejacket when advised, obey beach closures and red flags issued by the authorities, and make sure your travel insurance covers water sports and sea rescue. Official travel advice, such as the UK Foreign Office's advice for Egypt, is the place to check the current situation.
Affiliate links
The site earns commission from GetYourGuide (partner programme), Headout and Tiqets (affiliate programmes) when you book through some of our links. These links are marked as sponsored and go straight to the partner's page. The price is the same for you. Commission does not decide what we write; see About us for how we work.
Links to other sites and map data
We link to official, operator and press sites so you can check facts at the source. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices; once you click through, their own terms and policies apply. See our privacy policy and cookie policy for what happens on this site.
