Description

A Paradise Island full-day snorkelling trip from Sahl Hasheesh takes you across clear Red Sea water to colourful reef areas and a sandy island beach away from the city. After pickup, we transfer you to the boat and leave from the Hurghada area, giving you time to settle in before the first snorkelling stop. The pace is easy, with enough time in the water for travellers who want more than a quick swim.

At Paradise Island, most of the activity is below the surface. You visit several reef snorkelling stops and may see schools of small reef fish, hard and soft corals, and seabed patterns that change from one area to the next. Visibility depends on the day’s sea conditions, so our crew selects the most suitable spots available. A guide shows you how to use the equipment and helps you enter the water safely. You choose how long to snorkel within the time allowed at each stop.

Between reef stops, there is room on the boat to sit in the sun or shade, watch the sea and enjoy the crossing. This trip suits anyone who wants a simple day away from the city without arranging transport, boat access and equipment separately. The day moves between sailing, swimming and breaks, rather than following a packed sightseeing schedule.

Paradise Island is a good place to slow down. Swim near the shore, snorkel from the beach when conditions allow, or relax on the white sandy shore with a drink and the sound of the water nearby. Travellers who would rather stay dry can enjoy the island views while others take part in the water activities. Bring a book, choose a comfortable spot and use the beach stop at your own pace.

Lunch is served during the excursion, and soft drinks are available throughout the day. The menu and order of service can vary with the boat and operating conditions, but the meal is planned as a straightforward break between activities rather than a long formal sitting. Our team arranges the main details, including the transfer from Sahl Hasheesh, boat coordination and return drop-off, leaving you to enjoy the sea and island.

This excursion suits couples, friends and families with children who are comfortable around open water. You do not need advanced snorkelling experience, but you should be able to swim and follow the crew’s instructions during the water activities. Travellers who cannot swim can still enjoy the boat and beach. This is not the right choice if you need step-free access, close medical supervision or a fully land-based day. Tell us about mobility needs or other concerns before travelling so we can explain the arrangements clearly.

Sea conditions, wind and visibility can change the route, the time at each reef and access to parts of the island. Conditions will not be identical on every departure, but our team keeps the plan practical and puts safety first. Wear swimwear under light clothing, use reef-safe sun protection where possible and bring a towel, hat and waterproof pouch for valuables. We confirm pickup details and the final meeting point for your booking before the excursion.

Key parts of the day include:

  • Hotel pickup and drop-off in Sahl Hasheesh
  • Boat trip to Paradise Island with multiple reef snorkelling stops
  • Snorkelling equipment and crew assistance
  • Time for swimming, beach relaxation and island views
  • Lunch and soft drinks during the excursion

Your Itinerary

Our team picks you up from your hotel in Sahel Hashesh and transfers you to the marina near Hurghada. After boarding the boat, the crew explains the route and basic snorkelling guidance before you set out across the Red Sea. The crossing gives you time to settle in, enjoy the sea views and prepare for the first stop.

At Paradise Island, you make several reef snorkelling stops in clear water, with time to see colourful fish and coral formations at your own pace. A guide and crew remain on hand, while you can choose to snorkel, swim or stay aboard between water stops. After the reef visits, the boat continues to the island for a relaxed break on its white sandy shores. Enjoy a meal on board or at the arranged island setting, then spend the remaining beach time swimming, snorkelling or simply unwinding.

Later, return by boat to the marina and take the waiting transfer back to your Sahel Hashesh hotel. The schedule allows for a carefree day away from the city without rushing between activities; the exact timing can change with sea conditions and the day’s operating arrangements.
