Before You Book
The things travelers ask us most about this tour.
Yes — Marine park entrance fees for the sites on this itinerary are in the price, so there is nothing to buy at the gate. What you would still pay for separately are diving certification course, tips and personal spending.
Yes. Hotel pickup and return (Hurghada) is included — we collect you from your hotel or Cairo address and bring you back at the end, so you are not arranging taxis around the day. Tell us where you are staying when you book; if you have not chosen a hotel yet, you can send it on later.
Enough that you should be comfortable on your feet for most of the day. Boarding a boat, entering open water down a ladder, and swimming over reef away from shore. Comfortable swimming is the real requirement; diving is optional. If someone in your group has limited mobility, tell us before you book — we can usually adjust the route or the pace rather than have you find out on the day.
1 day, door to door from your hotel. Start times are flexible — going early is the single best thing you can do for both the light and the crowds, but if you would rather not, we will build the day around the time you want to leave.
Yes — every tour here is a starting point rather than a fixed package. Swap a site, add an experience or a photoshoot, change the pace, or extend it by a day and we will rebuild the schedule around you.
