Experience a full-day marine adventure from Sharm El Sheikh, combining exploration, relaxation and underwater discovery — perfect for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and anyone wanting to enjoy the Red Sea in one unforgettable day. Begin your day with a comfortable pickup from your hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle, transferring you to the marina. Board a spacious, fully equipped boat and set sail toward the breathtaking waters of Ras Mohammed National Park, one of Egypt's most famous marine protected areas, renowned for its crystal-clear water, vibrant coral reefs and incredible marine biodiversity. Throughout the day, the boat stops at three snorkeling sites inside the park, letting you explore different coral gardens and swim among colourful reef fish — and, with some luck, sea turtles and reef sharks. Choose your dive level when you book: snorkel only, or add one or two introductory scuba dives with a certified instructor right there in the water — no certification needed, just curiosity. Snorkeling gear (mask, fins, life jacket, or a full-face mask) can be rented on board for a small fee. The day also includes a stop at the famous White Island, a stunning natural sandbank that appears in the middle of the sea where the waters of the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba meet — an unforgettable spot for photos, swimming and walking on soft white sand surrounded by crystal-clear water. A freshly prepared buffet lunch is served on board, with hot and cold drinks and unlimited soft drinks and water, giving you time to relax on the sun deck and take in the panoramic views of the Red Sea. The boat has two bathrooms and shower facilities, and life jackets are available to rent for anyone who'd like one, so there's free time to swim, sunbathe and enjoy the surroundings before the boat sails back to the marina, where your transport will be waiting to take you comfortably back to your hotel. ## Highlights - Snorkel Ras Mohammed National Park's dramatic coral walls at three dedicated stops - Choose your dive level — snorkel only, or add 1-2 introductory dives - Visit the stunning White Island sandbank in the middle of the Red Sea - Relax on a comfortable boat with a sun deck and professional crew - Freshly prepared lunch on board with beautiful sea views - No hidden fees — the Ras Mohammed National Park entrance ticket is already included in your price. ## What's included - Hotel pickup and drop-off - Lunch onboard - National park entrance fee - Onboard bathrooms & freshwater showers - A snorkeling guide in the water with you — helping with swimming and equipment, leading you to the best reef spots, and making the day easy and stress-free. - Transportation in an air-conditioned vehicle - Hot and cold drinks throughout the trip - Unlimited soft drinks and bottled water ## What's not included - Gratuities - Underwater photos & videos (available to purchase after your dive) - Snorkeling gear rental — mask, fins, life jacket or full-face mask (see Add-ons) ## What to bring - Sunglasses - Sun hat - Swimwear - Towel - Reef-safe sunscreen - Passport or ID card (a copy is accepted) - Camera ## Important information - Guests aged 11 and over may take the optional introductory dive; guests under 11 may snorkel only. - Prone to seasickness?
