A Red Sea boat day is easier when you pack light and protect yourself from sun, water and wind.

Essentials

Bring swimwear, a towel, high-SPF sun protection, a hat, sunglasses with a secure strap and a dry change of clothes. Pack personal medication you may need during the day.

Useful extras

A reusable water bottle, small waterproof pouch and phone protection are useful. A power bank can help on a full-day excursion.

Snorkeling equipment

Use equipment that fits properly. If mask fit is important to you, bringing your own can be worthwhile. Check the trip page to see what equipment is included.

Cooler or windy days

Even when the sun is strong, wind on a moving boat can feel cool after swimming. A light layer is useful outside the hottest period.

For children

Pack child-appropriate sun protection and dry clothes. Any personal flotation equipment should be compatible with the operator's current safety rules.

What not to bring

Avoid unnecessary valuables and loose items that can fall overboard. Do not collect coral, shells or marine organisms as souvenirs.

Frequently asked questions

Where should current prices and dates appear?
Only on the live Harmony trip cards and booking flow below, so any change made in Admin is reflected automatically — this article never states a fixed price or date.
Can an excursion itinerary change?
Yes. Weather, sea conditions, attraction access and operational requirements can affect a day, so treat the itinerary on the current trip page as the accurate version.
How should I choose a trip?
Compare pickup area, duration, activity level, inclusions and any age or safety restrictions on the current product page rather than relying on the excursion name alone.
