From Hurghada or Soma Bay, a full-day outing takes you south along the coast with pickup and lunch included. Choose the van that matches your resort, then settle in for about ten hours door to door. 📋 Key Details Duration: About 10 hours including transfers, snorkel time and lunch Group size: Small guided groups, typically up to 15 Minimum age: Young guests welcome if happy in the water with a mask; infant seats are available on the transfer Meeting point: Hotel pickup in Hurghada or Soma Bay, depending on the option you choose Format: Guided turtle snorkel day with lunch 🐢 What to Expect South along the coast the morning unfolds as open road and then the curve into Abu Dabbab bay, where shallow water turns pale green over seagrass. After kit and a brief on sharing the water with turtles, you snorkel with a guide above the grass, scanning for slow-moving shapes below. Other reef fish are common companions on the same route. Shallow bay water keeps the session relaxed, with time to look down without diving deep. Lunch at a beachfront table breaks up the afternoon before the return run north. Turtles may graze within view if the day is kind; if not, the grass, coral edges and clear water still make the long coast-road day worthwhile. 📍 Location Hurghada and Soma Bay sit further north on Egypt's Red Sea coast, with long resort strips facing open water. Abu Dabbab itself is a shallow bay further south, known for seagrass beds close to the beach where turtles feed. Reaching it from these hotels means a proper coast-road day, with time in the van as well as time in the water. Wind, sea state and traffic all shape how the hours land. Once lunch is done, the return run brings you back into the Hurghada or Soma Bay hotel belt for the evening. Resort life here is built around the sea, so a bay day like this sits beside other water plans only if you leave the whole day clear. Share your resort name so the van can collect you from the right strip. Guests staying well outside those hotel zones should wait for confirmation that collection still applies. ✅ Prerequisites No snorkel qualification is required. Putting your face in the sea with a mask and sitting through a long, air-conditioned transfer should feel comfortable. First-time snorkellers and guests who already swim with a mask can share the same bay. Say if you would rather stay in the shallows so the… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Hotel pickup and return in Hurghada or Soma Bay, depending on the option you choose Guided snorkel at Abu Dabbab bay Snorkel mask, snorkel and fins Guide in the water with the group Lunch after the snorkel ### What’s not included Flights and travel to Hurghada or Soma Bay Transport to and from the meeting point if you make your own way instead of hotel pickup Drinks beyond what is served with lunch Personal expenses and gratuities Items of a personal nature (towel, sunscreen, hat) ### Kit list _None._ ## FAQs ### What is the difference between the Hurghada and Soma Bay options? Choose pickup from Hurghada hotels or Soma Bay hotels. Both options go to the same Abu Dabbab bay for a guided snorkel over seagrass where turtles often graze, then lunch before the return transfer. The day is longer than the Marsa Alam pickup because the drive is further. Plan around ten hours door to door. ### Is hotel pickup included? Hotel pickup and drop-off is included on both options. Share your resort name so the driver can fit you into the morning run from Hurghada or Soma Bay. If you are staying well outside those hotel strips, wait for confirmation that collection still applies. ### Will we definitely see turtles? Abu Dabbab is a shallow bay where green turtles often graze on seagrass. You snorkel at the surface with a guide and watch from a respectful distance. Sightings are likely on many days, but they are wild animals. Dugong are rarer; treat that as a bonus if one passes through, not a promise. ### Do I need snorkelling experience? No qualification is required. Kit is provided and a guide is in the water with you. First-time snorkellers and guests who already swim with a mask can share the same bay. You should be comfortable putting your face in the sea and floating at the surface. Say if you would rather stay in the shallows. ### What should I wear and bring? Wear swimwear under a light cover-up, plus shoes you can slip off at the water. Bring a towel, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and a dry layer for the long transfer. Leave valuables in the hotel safe where you can. Keep hands off the turtles and the seagrass. ### Is lunch included? Yes. Lunch is included after the snorkel, typically at a beachfront restaurant near the bay. Expect a simple sit-down meal rather than a packed picnic on the sand. Say if anyone in the group needs a lighter plate so the team can pass that on. ### How long will I be out including transfers? Plan for about ten hours door to door, including the drive from Hurghada or Soma Bay, time in the water, lunch and the return. Exact timing depends on where you are staying and traffic on the coast road. Keep the rest of the day free so you are not rushing back for another plan. ### Can children join? Young guests can join if they are happy in the water with a mask. Infant seats are available on the transfer, so very young children may stay on the beach rather than in the water. Share ages when you confirm your place so the crew can plan kit. ### Is snorkel kit provided? Yes. A mask, snorkel and fins are provided at the bay. You do not need to bring your own unless you prefer a familiar mask. The guide stays with the group in the water and sets a simple route over the seagrass and nearby coral. ### Where do we meet? The meeting point is your hotel in Hurghada or Soma Bay, depending on the option you choose, then a longer transfer south to Abu Dabbab. You return to the same hotel after lunch. If you prefer to make your own way, ask for the meeting point when your place is confirmed rather than guessing a pin on a map. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/2dd78f40-edf3-451f-93cb-30e0ad8cde7a.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
