The 5 best snorkeling spots around Hurghada

From Giftun Island to the Dolphin House: where the reefs are most colourful and how to visit them.

The Red Sea off Hurghada is one of the best places in the world to snorkel: warm, clear water all year round and coral reefs just minutes from the marina.

1. Giftun Island

Shallow coral gardens with parrotfish and clownfish — perfect for beginners and families.

2. Orange Bay

White sand, turquoise lagoon and a house reef right off the beach.

3. Dolphin House (Shaab El Erg)

A horseshoe reef where spinner dolphins often rest in the morning.

4. Paradise Island

Calm water and soft corals, ideal for a relaxed day by speedboat.

5. Abu Ramada

Steep reef walls and big schools of fish for confident swimmers.

All our sea trips include equipment, lunch and hotel pickup.
