From Hurghada: Abu Dabbab Snorkeling Trip & Swimming with Turtles
Relax on the beautiful sandy beach of the romantic Abu Dabbab Bay and explore the picturesque underwater world while snorkeling.Snorkel directly from the beach in the crystal clear water and marvel at a magnificent variety of exotic fish and impressive corals. All this is possible all year round. Abu Dabbab Bay is home to hawksbill and green turtles, some of which are very large. When they are not sharing the water with their claws and swimming to find food, it is a real challenge for snorkelers to find them on the shallow bottom covered with sand.
Highlights
- Be amazed by the magnificent coral gardens and beautiful green turtles
- Enjoy a snorkeling trip to Abu Dabab from Hurghada
- Swimming & snorkeling with the turtles
- Marvel at the well-preserved coral of the coral gardens
DESCRIPTION
Enjoy a full-day snorkeling adventure departing from Hurghada to Abu Dabbab Bay near Marsa Alam, one of the Red Sea’s most important marine reserves, also known as Turtle Bay. This tour offers an excellent chance to encounter giant green sea turtles and, with some luck, the rare dugong (sea cow) in calm, crystal-clear shallow waters.
We pick you up from your hotel in Hurghada early in the morning around 6:00 AM to ensure the best snorkeling conditions and a smooth start to the day. The experience includes two snorkeling sessions directly from the sandy beach, allowing you to explore seagrass areas and gently sloping coral reefs rich in colorful marine life. Thanks to the easy beach entry and shallow waters, this tour is suitable for beginners, families, and experienced snorkelers alike.
During the trip, you will enjoy snacks, mineral water, and juice, and on the return journey, a freshly prepared lunch at a local oriental restaurant in El Quseir, before continuing back to your hotel in Hurghada. The tour also includes comfortable round-trip transportation, a professional snorkeling guide, snorkeling equipment, and refreshments, making it a relaxed and unforgettable Red Sea wildlife experience.

Wir haben heute die Reise gemacht und es war wunderschön. Wir wurden pünktlich vom Hotel abgeholt (sogar überpünktlich) , essen und trinken war mehr als genug da und auch sehr lecker. Leider habe ich keine Seekuh gesehen aber dafür ein tolles Riff mit vielen verschiedenen Fischen & ein paar kleinere Rochen. Und 3-4 Schildkröten größere sowie kleinere. Habe es über WhatsApp gebucht und alles lief wie nach Plan, bezahlt wird erst an dem Tag wo es stattfindet vor Ort. Und der Preis ist mehr als gerechtfertigt. Super nette Schnorchel Guides sowie Fahrer. Sehr empfehlenswert!!!
