There are few things more restorative than the hush of turquoise water and a ribbon of white sand beneath an endless African sky. The Snorkeling Trip to Hula Hula Beach Island from Soma Bay is a half-day escape that blends adrenaline-free snorkeling, relaxed island time, and a private-boat feel — all within sight of Hurghada’s glittering coastline. You’ll snorkel two prime reef spots, spend around two hours on Hula Hula’s powdery beach, and sail back to shore with a smile and a pocket full of photos.
Hula Hula (part of the Giftun island group) is loved for shallow lagoons, excellent visibility, and calm waters that suit families and first-time snorkelers. The beach itself gives off a Caribbean vibe: shaded cabanas, beanbags, and shallow, safe swimming close to shore — rare perks for Red Sea trips.
Expect bright coral gardens filled with clownfish, parrotfish, butterflyfish, and — if luck smiles — rays and the occasional sea turtle. Guides stay close while you explore, pointing out hidden residents and taking safety calls for newbies.
Spend roughly two hours lounging on fine white sand. The island’s layout gives you quick access from boat to beach via a short zodiac or tender — perfect if you want photos, a lazy swim, or a stroll along the shoreline.
Turtles, colourful reef fish, moray eels, and shoals of elegant reef fish. Dolphin sightings occasionally happen on the crossing, but remember: we visit wild animals — sightings aren’t guaranteed.
Morning departures (08:00) often have calmer seas and clearer water; midday trips are warmer and brighter for beach photos. Visibility depends on weather, but Hula Hula’s shallow lagoons usually hold excellent clarity.
Sunscreen (reef-safe if possible), sunglasses, hat, towel, swimwear, waterproof camera or phone case, and a small amount of cash for tips or optional extras.
Keep a safe distance from corals and never touch marine life.
Use reef-safe sunscreen to protect corals.
Follow crew instructions; life jackets are there for your safety. Conservation is a key reason Giftun islands are protected — our tours operate with respect for that.
Typical pricing varies by operator and boat type: shared speedboat group trips or private speedboat charters (private boats cost more but give full flexibility). Family packages often offer child reductions — infants may go free and children 6–11 usually pay a reduced rate. Exact prices change seasonally; confirm final cost at booking.
Private speedboat: more privacy, flexible schedule, faster crossing, ideal for couples or small groups who want exclusivity.
Shared boat: cost-efficient, sociable, family-friendly, and still delivers the classic Hula Hula experience.
If you want Caribbean-style sand, calm snorkeling lagoons, quick transfers from Soma Bay and the privacy of a small speedboat, Hula Hula delivers — without the long waits or crowded beaches. It’s a perfect half-day for families, couples or solo travelers who want a gentle but authentic Red Sea experience. Book a private speedboat if you value privacy and time; pick a shared trip if you prefer budget-friendly fun with a social vibe.

Limited daily availability — reserve early for guaranteed entry.
Your driver collects you from your Soma Bay hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle and transfers you to Hurghada marina. Quick welcome and safety briefing before boarding.
A 30–60 minute speedboat ride opens the trip — the sea breeze, the light on the water, and the anticipation. Your captain heads to the first reef stop where guides hand out masks and fins, explain safety, and lead the first snorkeling session.
Arrive at Hula Hula, step ashore, and enjoy lunch (buffet or plated depending on operator), soft drinks, and free time. Lay on the sand, join a beach volleyball game, or snorkel from the shoreline.
A final reef stop before the return journey gives you one last chance to swim among coral gardens. Then it’s a comfortable ride back to the marina and transfer to Soma Bay.
