Where to Go Snorkeling with Turtles in Egypt: 6 Trips

1.Elite vip Turtle bay snorkeling with BBQ Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 198 reviews · 4h 30m · from $100Our pick

Cruise from Port Ghalib on a four-floor Elite VIP boat, with two guided snorkeling stops at Marsa Mubarak and Small Shenwa. Look for turtles, dugongs, dolphins, rays, and reef fish, then enjoy a buffet BBQ and electronic massage chair. Hotel pickup, guides, and marina time are included.

“Il nostro pessimo inglese ha reso tutto più complicato, ma la gentilezza e i sorrisi delle guide e del personale hanno risolto ogni inconprenaione. Cibo ottimo e estrema pulizia. Ma la cosa che conta di più: abbiamo nuotato con tre tartarughe giganti per più di mezz ora e dulcis in fundo il dugongo!!!! Che emozione irripetibile!!!!! Grazie”

2.Marsa Mubarak snorkeling with dugong and turtles – marsaalam

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 88 reviews · from $82

You’ll leave your Marsa Alam hotel by air-conditioned vehicle, sail from Port Ghalib to Marsa Mubarak, and snorkel among sea turtles, coral, fish, and, if luck allows, a dugong. The trip includes equipment, guides, lunch, drinks, snacks, and hotel transfers. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, and the national park fee is extra.

“Non dimenticherò mai questa esperienza. In un solo giorno ho visto più specie marine che in una vita. L’unica nota negativa è che per vedere il dugongo c’era davvero tantissima gente e andavano addosso all’animale per toccarlo. Forse andare un gruppo alla volta aiuterebbe ad evitare questi assembramenti. In ogni caso è stata una delle più belle escursioni di sempre e abbiamo avuto anche un sacco di tempo per fare Snorkeling. Consigliatissimo!!!”

“Very pleasant diving :) Actually, there were a few turtles and the guides made sure that they were not bothered by tourists (it was very important to me), the coral reef was also beautiful. The food is yummy, and there's a big selection of fins and masks. I'd totally recommend it”
