If you’re searching for a boat trip that lets you enjoy the beauty of the Red Sea without spending an entire day at sea, Sea and City Hurghada is exactly what you’re looking for. Designed for travelers who prefer a shorter, more relaxed experience, this afternoon excursion combines snorkeling, swimming, fun activities, and beautiful island scenery in just a few hours.
Available every Thursday and Sunday, Sea and City Hurghada is perfect for couples, families, solo travelers, and groups of friends who want to experience Hurghada’s crystal-clear waters while still having enough time to enjoy the rest of their day. Instead of following the usual full-day itinerary, this trip focuses on quality over quantity, giving you the chance to visit two beautiful locations without feeling rushed.
With a maximum of only 10 guests on board, you’ll enjoy a peaceful atmosphere, more personal service, and plenty of space to relax throughout the journey. It’s a small-group experience that feels far more comfortable than crowded tourist boats.
Not everyone wants to spend eight or nine hours on a boat. While full-day cruises are popular, many visitors simply prefer a shorter trip that offers the highlights of the Red Sea without taking up the whole day.
Sea and City Hurghada was created with those travelers in mind.
Whether you’re staying in Hurghada for only a few days, traveling with children, or just looking for a relaxing afternoon activity, this experience offers the perfect balance between adventure and comfort. You can enjoy snorkeling, swim in calm turquoise waters, play fun games with friends, and return to your hotel in time for dinner.
Because the trip is limited to a small number of guests, everything feels more organized, quieter, and more enjoyable. There’s no need to compete for space on the boat or wait in long lines for equipment. Instead, you can simply focus on enjoying your time on the Red Sea.
Sea and City Hurghada begins at 3:30 PM, one of the most enjoyable times to be on the water. As the afternoon sun becomes softer, the sea takes on incredible shades of blue, creating the perfect setting for swimming, snorkeling, and photography.
Unlike early morning excursions that require waking up before sunrise, this afternoon departure allows you to enjoy a relaxed morning at your hotel before heading to the marina.
Many guests spend the first half of their day by the pool or on the beach before joining the trip, making Sea and City an ideal addition to any holiday itinerary.
The adventure begins with a snorkeling stop near Little Magawish Island, one of the beautiful marine areas just off the coast of Hurghada.
Known for its clear water and colorful underwater world, this location offers excellent visibility and calm conditions that are suitable for both beginners and experienced snorkelers.
As soon as you enter the water, you’ll discover why the Red Sea is famous around the world. Healthy coral formations provide a home for dozens of species of tropical fish, creating an underwater landscape full of movement and color.
Depending on the season, you may encounter butterflyfish, parrotfish, angelfish, clownfish, and many other fascinating marine species. Every snorkeling session is slightly different, making each visit a unique experience.
Even if you’ve never tried snorkeling before, the calm conditions near Little Magawish make it an excellent place to begin. Our crew is always available to assist you, helping you feel comfortable and confident before entering the water.
For experienced snorkelers, the reef offers plenty to explore, with colorful coral gardens stretching beneath the surface and countless opportunities to observe marine life in its natural habitat.
After snorkeling, the boat continues toward one of Hurghada’s hidden treasures: Abu Monqar Island.
This stop offers a completely different experience.
Instead of focusing on coral reefs, Abu Monqar is all about enjoying the sea itself. The area is famous for its shallow, crystal-clear water that extends for a long distance from the shore, creating a natural lagoon where guests can relax without worrying about deep water.
The soft sandy bottom and calm conditions make this one of the most enjoyable places around Hurghada to simply float, swim, or spend time with family and friends.
Many visitors describe this part of the trip as their favorite because there’s no rush. You can take your time, enjoy the warm water, and appreciate the peaceful surroundings.
The combination of turquoise water, white sand, and open sea creates a beautiful setting that feels far away from the busy beaches of the city.
It’s also one of the best places to capture memorable holiday photos, thanks to the incredible colors of the Red Sea during the late afternoon.
One of the things that makes Sea and City Hurghada different from many traditional snorkeling trips is that the experience doesn’t end when you leave the reef.
At Abu Monqar Island, the atmosphere becomes more relaxed and playful. The shallow water creates the perfect environment for guests to enjoy the sea in different ways, whether they prefer to swim, float, or simply spend time with family and friends.
Our crew often organizes light-hearted water games that everyone can join. A simple game of ball in the sea quickly becomes one of the most memorable moments of the afternoon, bringing guests together and creating a fun, friendly atmosphere on the water.
If you’d rather relax, you’re free to do that too. Some guests enjoy floating in the warm, calm water, while others walk through the shallow lagoon, take photos, or simply soak up the peaceful surroundings.
Because the water remains shallow over a large area, everyone can enjoy the experience at their own pace without feeling pressured to swim long distances.
One of the biggest advantages of Sea and City is something many travelers don’t notice until they experience it themselves.
We welcome a maximum of only 10 guests on each trip.
While many boat excursions in Hurghada carry large groups of passengers, Sea and City Hurghada offers a much more personal experience. Fewer guests mean more space to move around the boat, less waiting, and a quieter atmosphere throughout the journey.
It also allows our crew to give every guest more attention, whether helping with snorkeling equipment, answering questions, or making sure everyone is comfortable during the trip.
This small-group approach creates a relaxed environment where you never feel like you’re part of a crowd. It’s one of the reasons many of our guests describe the trip as feeling more like a day out with friends than a standard tourist excursion.
A great afternoon on the Red Sea is even better when you don’t have to think about the little details.
To keep everyone comfortable throughout the trip, Sea and City Hurghada includes complimentary snacks and soft drinks.
Whether you’ve just finished snorkeling or you’re relaxing after a swim, you’ll have refreshments available on board to help you recharge before continuing the adventure.
It’s a small touch that makes a big difference, especially during warm summer afternoons.
Families often look for activities that are enjoyable for both adults and children, and Sea and City is designed with exactly that in mind.
The calm waters around Abu Monqar Island make swimming much more comfortable than many open-water locations. Children can enjoy the shallow areas under the supervision of their parents, while adults can relax knowing the environment is calm and welcoming.
The shorter duration of the trip is another advantage for families. Younger children often lose interest during full-day excursions, but Sea and City offers just the right amount of time to enjoy the Red Sea without becoming too tiring.
Between snorkeling, swimming, games, and relaxing on the boat, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Sea and City isn’t only for families.
Couples often choose this trip because it offers a peaceful afternoon away from crowded beaches, with beautiful scenery and plenty of opportunities to create special memories together.
Groups of friends enjoy the social atmosphere, especially during the swimming stop at Abu Monqar Island, where games and shared experiences make the afternoon even more enjoyable.
Solo travelers also feel comfortable on board thanks to the friendly, small-group setting. It’s easy to meet new people while still having enough space to enjoy the experience at your own pace.
Hurghada is famous for its incredible coastline, but not every boat trip has to follow the same schedule.
Sea and City was created for travelers looking for something a little different.
Instead of spending an entire day moving between multiple snorkeling spots, this experience focuses on two carefully selected locations that each offer something unique. First, you’ll discover the colorful underwater world near Little Magawish Island. Then, you’ll slow things down at Abu Monqar Island, where swimming, relaxation, and fun activities take center stage.
The result is a trip that feels balanced, enjoyable, and stress-free from beginning to end.
Whether you’re visiting Hurghada for the first time or returning to explore more of the Red Sea, Sea and City offers a fresh perspective on one of Egypt’s most beautiful destinations.
