Clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and a full day at sea make this boat trip one of the most popular ways to experience the Red Sea. Travelling from Sharm El Sheikh to Ras Mohamed National Park and White Island, you'll have plenty of opportunities to swim, snorkel, relax on deck, and discover some of the region's most famous marine environments.
Following hotel collection in Sharm El Sheikh, you'll be transferred to the departure point where you'll have the option to hire snorkelling equipment if required. After check-in and boarding, the boat heads out across the Red Sea towards Ras Mohamed National Park, one of Egypt's most important protected marine areas. During the journey, your guide will provide information about the locations you'll visit and what to look out for beneath the surface.
The cruise itself is part of the experience, offering plenty of time to relax on deck while enjoying views of the coastline and open sea. Once within the national park area, the boat will stop at carefully selected snorkelling locations known for their coral formations and marine life. Entering the water, you'll have the chance to swim among colourful fish and explore reef systems that attract visitors from around the world.
A visit to White Island adds another highlight to the day. Famous for its sandbanks and shallow turquoise waters, it provides an ideal place to swim, paddle, or simply enjoy the surroundings. Between snorkelling sessions, a buffet lunch is served on board along with water and soft drinks. After a leisurely afternoon on the water, the boat returns to the marina where transport will be waiting to take you back to your hotel.
