Hurghada Morning Private Fishing Trip on the Red Sea

The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The trip includes snorkeling and time on deck—use reef-friendly sunscreen to protect corals and your skin.
Wear non-slip shoes
Decks can be wet and slippery; closed non-slip boat shoes improve footing while casting and landing fish.
Prep for motion sickness
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication or use acupressure bands before boarding and sit midship facing the horizon.
Keep a dry change of clothes
Salt spray and a snorkel stop mean you’ll appreciate a lightweight dry set for the ride home.
