A full-day boat trip south to the remote Hamata Islands, home to some of the quietest, least-crowded reefs on this stretch of coast, with lunch served on board.

Hamata sits well south of the main Marsa Alam resort strip, and that extra distance is exactly why its reefs stay quieter than Sataya or Abu Dabbab. This full-day boat trip heads south for snorkeling stops at three islands, weaving between turquoise water and soft white-sand islets that see far fewer visitors than the closer-in sites.

Lunch is served on board between stops, giving you a proper break to relax on deck or wade onto a quiet beach before the next snorkel. Because so few boats make the trip this far south, there's a real chance of having a stretch of open water — and its reef — entirely to yourselves.

It's a good pick for anyone who wants the Red Sea at its calmest and least crowded, with the bonus of feeling like you've found a stretch of coast most visitors never see.
