Family Snorkeling Trips in Hurghada: A Red Sea Day the Whole Family Will Love
Family snorkeling trips in Hurghada are one of the best ways to share the Red Sea with your children. Kids float above bright corals, spot clownfish and parrotfish, and come back to the boat with stories for the rest of the holiday.
At Chloe’s Diving Center, families enjoy calm reefs, a comfortable boat and food on board, and children aged 1 to 5 travel free. Tell us your children’s ages in the form below and we will plan the best day for your family.
Why Hurghada Is Great for Family Snorkeling
Hurghada’s sheltered island reefs have calm, shallow water and lots of fish close to the surface. Kids can see colourful marine life without swimming far from the boat.
The Red Sea is warm for most of the year, and the sun shines almost every day, making it easy to plan a family trip in any season.

Activities for Every Family Member
One of the best things about a family trip with a dive center is that everyone can do something different on the same boat:
- Young children: relax on deck and snorkel with a parent close to the boat.
- Kids from 8 years: try the Bubblemaker program (€100) in shallow water.
- Teens and adults new to diving: join an introductory dive in Hurghada for €65.
- Certified divers: enjoy fun dives on the daily diving trip in Hurghada.
Safety Tips for Snorkeling with Kids
- Keep young children within arm’s reach at all times.
- Choose a well-fitting mask; a leaking mask is the main reason kids stop enjoying it.
- Let children practise breathing through the snorkel on the boat first.
- Use T-shirts or rash guards and reef-safe sunscreen.
- Take breaks often and keep everyone hydrated.
- Ask us about flotation aids for children when you book.
