Terms of use

This site gives information; it does not sell trips. When you book a boat day through a link here, your contract is with the booking platform and the local operator, not with us.

Updated 20 October 2026Facts checked against official sources

Effective 20 October 2026.

These terms apply to everyone who uses hurghadasnorkeling.guide. By reading the site you accept them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Who we are

hurghadasnorkeling.guide is an independent editorial guide to snorkeling trips, islands and reefs around Hurghada on the Red Sea. It is run by [OWNER: legal name and address] and can be reached by email at info@hurghadasnorkeling.guide.

We are not the official site of any boat operator, dive centre, beach club, hotel, the Red Sea protectorates or any Egyptian authority, and we are not affiliated with any of them. Where we name or review a company, that is our independent editorial work.

Information only

Everything on the site — trip descriptions, reef sheets, fees, sailing times, prices, opening hours, safety notes and reviews — is general information to help you plan. It is not professional, legal, medical or financial advice, and it is not an offer to sell you anything.

We check our facts against official and operator sources, Egyptian press and official travel advice, and we date each page. But conditions in Hurghada change often: park fees are revised, boats are renamed, operators change their programmes, and the Red Sea Ports Authority closes the port in bad weather. Always confirm the details that matter to you — price, inclusions, pick-up time, meeting point, age and health rules — with the platform or operator before you pay.

No booking contract with us

We do not sell trips, take payments or issue vouchers. Booking links on this site take you directly to GetYourGuide, Headout or Tiqets.

  • When you book there, your contract is with that platform and with the local company that runs the trip, under their terms and conditions. On GetYourGuide, for example, the contract for the activity is with the local boat company and GetYourGuide acts as an agent.
  • Cancellation rules, refunds, weather cancellations, changes of boat or programme, complaints and customer service are handled by the platform and the operator, not by us. Read the listing's cancellation terms and its "not included" line before you book.
  • If you book directly with an operator, a hotel excursion desk or a local agency, your contract is with them alone.

Prices and availability

Platform prices shown on the site are "from" prices read from GetYourGuide, Headout and Tiqets, with the date they were checked. They change, they may depend on the date, group size and pick-up area, and they may not include cash extras such as the national-park fee, coast-guard fees or outer-resort transfers. The price on the partner's site at the moment you book is the one that counts. We are not responsible for price differences between our pages and the platforms.

The site earns commission from GetYourGuide (partner programme), Headout and Tiqets (affiliate programmes) when a visitor books through one of our links. These links are marked as sponsored. The price you pay is the same as when you book directly with the platform. We do not accept payment for reviews, and the editorial scores on our review pages are our own judgement, not an average of customer ratings. More in our disclaimer and about us.

Safety and your own responsibility

Snorkeling, diving, boat trips and water sports carry real risks: sea conditions, currents, sun, marine life and the standards of individual boats. Our safety notes are general guidance. You are responsible for judging your own fitness and swimming ability and those of your children, for following the instructions of the crew, the guides and the authorities — including beach closures and flags — and for having travel insurance that covers the activities you do.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss, injury, damage or cost arising from:

  • the acts or omissions of operators, dive centres, beach clubs, hotels, agencies or booking platforms;
  • changes to or cancellations of trips, including weather cancellations and port closures;
  • prices, fees or availability on partner sites;
  • errors or out-of-date information on this site, or your reliance on it;
  • the content of third-party websites we link to.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

We link to booking platforms, operator sites, official sources and press reports for your convenience. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices. See our privacy policy and cookie policy for how data is handled when you follow a link or load a booking calendar.
