Ocean Diva Catamaran offers a five-hour Red Sea cruise with two snorkeling stops, lunch, and two departure times. Choose the 09:00 cruise if you want your afternoon free, or start at 11:00 for a more relaxed morning. Both departures follow the same program and include the same services.
Ocean Diva is a fast, modern catamaran with a low-draft design that allows it to explore shallower reef areas around El Gouna. Onboard, you can relax on the open deck, sit in the shade, or stretch out on the front net with the Red Sea directly beneath you. When the wind allows, the crew raises the sails for a quieter journey across the water.
The cruise visits two selected reef sites, where you can swim and snorkel around coral formations and schools of colorful fish. Dolphins may sometimes be seen while sailing, but sightings cannot be guaranteed. Snorkeling equipment is provided, while non-swimmers can stay onboard and enjoy the views.
Lunch, fresh fruit, juices, soft drinks, mineral water, tea, and coffee are included. With Respect Tours, Egypt Through Local Eyes, your hotel transfers, snorkeling equipment, environmental fees, food, and drinks are arranged in one package. As a local tour operator in Egypt serving travelers since 1978, we take care of the details so you can enjoy the catamaran and the Red Sea.
| Cruise Option | Cruise Time | Duration | Snorkeling |
|---|---|---|---|
| Morning Cruise | 09:00–14:00 | 5 hours | Two stops |
| Late Morning Cruise | 11:00–16:00 | 5 hours | Two stops |
Both departures follow the same program and include the same services. Hotel pick-up takes place before the listed cruise time. Your exact pick-up time will be confirmed according to your hotel location and selected departure.
Your Ocean Diva Catamaran Hurghada experience begins with pick-up from your hotel and transfer to the marina. After boarding the catamaran, meet the crew, collect your snorkeling equipment, and choose where you would like to relax on deck.
As the catamaran leaves El Gouna behind, the coastline slowly gives way to open water. Sit in the shade, stretch out on the front net above the sea, feel the breeze, and enjoy the music as you sail toward the reef areas. Keep an eye on the water for passing marine life; dolphins are sometimes seen during the cruise, but sightings cannot be guaranteed.
When the wind is suitable, the crew raises the main sail and lets the wind carry the catamaran across the Red Sea. Its low-draft design allows the skipper to explore shallower reef areas and choose two snorkeling locations according to the day’s sea conditions and underwater visibility.
At the first reef site, put on your snorkeling equipment and enter the water. Look beneath the surface for coral formations, shoals of colorful fish, and other marine life moving around the reef. Guests who prefer not to swim can remain onboard and enjoy the open views from the deck.
Back on the catamaran, dry off, choose a drink, and relax as the cruise continues to the second reef site. Here, you have another opportunity to swim and snorkel in a different location before returning to the deck.
Lunch is served onboard during the cruise, together with fresh fruit, juices, soft drinks, mineral water, tea, and coffee. Eat in the shade, return to the front net, or simply enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and Red Sea views.
After five hours of sailing, snorkeling, food, and time on deck, the catamaran returns to El Gouna marina. Your driver will then transfer you back to your hotel in Hurghada.
The snorkeling locations and order of activities may change according to wind, currents, visibility, sea conditions, and the captain’s decision.
Ocean Diva can also be privately chartered for birthdays, weddings, corporate events, and other special occasions. The program, food, drinks, music, and onboard arrangements can be planned to suit your event. Contact Respect Tours for availability and a customized quotation.
