A shorter half-day snorkeling trip to Ras Mohammed National Park, with three snorkeling stops and calmer waters.

A lighter, half-day alternative to our full-day Ras Mohammed trip — perfect if you're short on time or prefer less time on the water. After a comfortable hotel pickup, sail out to three snorkeling stops inside Ras Mohammed National Park.

Between stops, relax on deck and take in the coastline. This trip comes in two versions — choose the one that suits you when you book: one includes lunch on board (with an introductory dive bookable directly on the boat), the other includes an introductory scuba dive instead of lunch.
