This private submarine and snorkeling excursion takes you from Safaga Port to Hurghada for a six-hour Red Sea adventure that pairs an underwater submarine ride with a guided snorkeling stop. Built for cruise passengers of any age or swimming ability, it delivers a genuine marine encounter without the long day some Red Sea trips demand.
Your Egyptologist guide meets you directly at the Safaga cruise gate, so there's no waiting around for other passengers. A private air-conditioned vehicle takes you along the Red Sea coast to Hurghada, where you board the submarine for a close look at coral formations and marine life through large viewing windows, all without getting wet. A guided snorkeling stop follows, giving you time in the water to see the reef up close.
Bottled water is provided on board, and your guide stays with your group for the full six hours. This trip is one of several Safaga Shore Excursions we run for cruise passengers docking in Safaga and part of our wider range of Egypt Tours.
The day runs in a simple order: pickup at Safaga Port, the drive to Hurghada, the submarine ride, the snorkeling stop, and a private transfer back to your ship in time for departure. To confirm your pickup time or ask about the tour, message us on WhatsApp
Your guide meets you at the Safaga Port cruise exit gate and takes you straight to a waiting private, air-conditioned vehicle. The drive to Hurghada follows the Red Sea coastline, giving you a first look at the water before the day's main activity begins.
Once in Hurghada, you board the submarine and descend into the Red Sea for a close view of the coral reef and marine life through the large viewing windows, a way to see the underwater world without getting wet. The trip then moves into a guided Hurghada snorkeling stop, where you can get into the water yourself and swim closer to the reef, spotting fish and other marine life along the way.
Once the activities wrap up, your guide walks you back to the vehicle for the private transfer to Safaga Port, timed to have you back at the ship well ahead of departure.
Schedule Flexibility: Pickup and return times are coordinated with your cruise ship's actual arrival and departure schedule at Safaga Port. If your ship's timing changes, your guide will adjust the excursion timing accordingly to make sure you're back before departure.
Booking Confirmation: This tour is arranged in advance of your cruise arrival. Please confirm your ship's arrival date and approximate docking time when booking, so your pickup can be scheduled precisely.
