RhianUnited Kingdom Excellent day. The staff are incredibly friendly. The main things to improve would be to have zero sugar drinks and also make it non-smoking.

Experience the natural beauty of the Red Sea on a full-day yacht cruise connecting Sharm El Sheikh to Ras Mohamed National Park and the shifting sandbar of White Island. Designed for snorkelers, swimmers, and marine sightseers alike, this trip balances active underwater exploration with open-deck relaxation.
Your day begins with an air-conditioned morning transfer directly from your Sharm El Sheikh hotel to the marine jetty. After completing coast guard boarding registration and meeting your licensed marine guides, you will step aboard a spacious multi-deck yacht. Following a brief safety and environmental briefing, the yacht sets sail southwest toward the protected waters of Ras Mohamed, located at the meeting point of the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba.
During the cruise, the captain anchors at prime coral reef sites renowned for dramatic drop-offs and exceptional underwater visibility. Slip into the water alongside your snorkeling guide to observe colorful hard and soft coral gardens populated by butterflyfish, parrotfish, rays, and clownfish. If you choose the introductory scuba diving option, you will receive a dedicated briefing on basic underwater communication and safety before descending one-on-one with a certified dive instructor to a beginner-friendly depth.
The cruise also charts a course toward White Island, an open-sea sandbank celebrated for its bright white sand and shallow turquoise lagoon. Guests can wade through the sunlit shallows, swim in calm waters, and capture panoramic photos of the open horizon.
At midday, a freshly prepared open-buffet lunch is served in the yacht’s shaded dining salon, featuring hot entrees, salads, rice, and pasta, accompanied by soft drinks and bottled water. Between swim stops, unwind on the open sun loungers or enjoy shaded seating as you cruise back toward the marina in the afternoon, followed by a direct return transfer to your hotel.

Protected Biodiversity at Ras Mohamed — Swim over conserved reef ecosystems at Egypt’s premier national park, home to vertical reef drop-offs, clear water, and high fish diversity.
Accessible Introductory Scuba Diving — Try scuba diving without needing a prior license. First-time divers receive dedicated gear fittings, individual safety briefings, and direct underwater guidance from a certified professional.
Freshly Cooked Onboard Lunch — Enjoy a hot, freshly prepared buffet served directly on the yacht, complete with complimentary bottled water, soft drinks, tea, and coffee throughout the cruise.
Comfortable Yacht Cruising — Relax across a multi-deck vessel featuring open-air sun decks with sun loungers, shaded seating areas, clean onboard facilities, and wide swim platforms for easy water entry.

White Island is a natural sandbank influenced by the Red Sea's daily tidal shifts. During lower tides, a dry sandbar emerges above the surface; during high tide, it remains covered by shallow, crystal-clear water. In all conditions, the boat anchors nearby so you can safely swim and walk through the shallow lagoon.
Yes. The yacht is equipped with certified life jackets, and our marine guides accompany guests in the water during swim stops to assist beginners. Guests are also welcome to stay onboard and enjoy the views from shaded and open decks.
The introductory dive is tailored specifically for beginners. A certified dive instructor provides a thorough safety briefing covering breathing and underwater hand signals. You are then guided individually on a 1-on-1 dive to a maximum depth of 6–8 meters for approximately 15 minutes.
Snorkeling gear (mask, snorkel, and fins) is not included by default to allow travelers with their own gear to avoid paying extra. Sanitized, fitted sets can be rented directly at the marina shop before the boat departs.
Roundtrip transfers are included from standard hotel locations across Sharm El Sheikh (including Naama Bay, Hadaba, Sharks Bay, and Nabq Bay). Your exact pickup time will be confirmed with you the evening before departure.
Passenger safety is strictly observed. If the Egyptian Coast Guard restricts maritime departures due to high winds, we will contact you to reschedule your cruise for the next available day or issue a full refund.

AbdallahUnited States My activity was fun and I had a really good time.

YvonneGermany It was great! Salah was a very good guide! He took care of everybody!
MariaUnited Kingdom It was an amazing experience! I did snorkelling with my friends and had the best time. As someone who cannot swim, the guide was so helpful throughout, and made me feel safe.

RumenaUnited Kingdom The snorkelling was fantastic at each and every stop and the diving looked so fun I wish i had booked it all the instructors were very helpful and overall great people. The White Island we visited was also very good

Charlotte LouiseUnited Kingdom Amazing. Haven’t dived in ages and completely loved it. Great great great

SuzanneUnited Kingdom It was our first time snorkelling and we couldn’t had been more looked after, Islam made sure we were safe and gave us a great experience, he took great care of us making us feel comfortable in the water exploring the coral reef. The whole team on the boat were amazing, a very well organised trip with lovely food! A great experience that I highly recommend! Thank you for a trip of a lifetime

LailaUnited Kingdom I booked this snorkelling tour last minute and we were extremely happy with the experience. Amazing views and we enjoyed our dive. Special thanks to all staff members who took care of us during the trip, especially Moaz! Highly recommend booking this trip if you come to Sharm.
Very friendly and helpful guides. I was initially not going to do the scuba diving and just let my children do it. Ahmad however was very reassuring. I had a mini panic attack in the water and was happy to bail out but Ahmad helped me gather my senses and calmed me down in an amazing manner. I managed to do a whole 20 mins! The food was great - compliments to the chef! Other guides were very helpful and kept the vibes going. Mossam and Kareem particularly made us feel right at home and treated us like family. One small advice - if you do not intend on buying pics and vids then it would be a good idea to say in advance as it can take up some of your time under the sea and will save you from awkward conversations at the end. I would highly recommend this particular team I had. Thank you to all of you 🙏🥰

incredible with the Diving instructors being amazing on a first dive.
Sayed,Iesmail and the rest of the crew honestly was fantastic. I hate the sea and they took my snorkling and it was amazing and gave me confidence in the water. We was a party of 4 and three went diving for both the two stops doing the 20mins package and again they said it was the best experience they have done and hands down worth every penny. I can not recommend enough this is a top class experience must do whilst you are here with the crew!!

amazing team and experience. me and my son went for the snorkeling and took our own masks but on board we decided to pay to do Scuba diving for one of the stops. neither of us have ever done this and the team were amazing at explaining and making it so easy for us. we have done snorkeling outside the hotel and seen a good variety of Fish but that is nothing compared to the amount you will see on this trip. if I was to book again I would want to have the exact same experience ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Exceptional day trip, diving was insane. If you book this trip make sure you dive. Snorkling was also amazing. Only down side is the pictures are a little exspensive but, you don’t have to buy if you don’t want to. Overall.. great trip will do again on our return to Egypt.
Perfect everything lovely people moaaz the instructor lovely guy helped us through out the whole journey with any questions or concernes

I did Snorkeling and Scuba Dive, the professionals was very helpful and knowledgeable. Overall great experience and loved it.
scuba diving was insane all the crew have great banter
We had an amazing time with the team, doing both the dive and the snorkeling. We had our own diving guide (as first timers) and it was really great. Lunch was delicious, and the trip to white island really good. They even have an underwater photographer you can buy pro pictures of your dive from.
It was absolutely amazing definitely recommend so worth the money. Activities were so fun and well planned and staff were wonderful.
Had a lot of fun :) The diving teacher had wonderful social skills! The crew was also very friendly :) Thank you!
Sayed and his team were amazing from start to finish: very helpful and informative throughout!! There were 5 of us in our group and about 40 altogether on the boat - the whole experience was incredible, the food was delicious and the vibes, immaculate!! Really couldn’t fault any part of this trip ( other than the choppiness of the swim to White Island) definitely recommend this one
Opportunity to drive was amazing! shown around all the corals and paid a very small extra fee to extended the dive making it longer. first time scuba diving and felt very safe and looked after.
ClareUnited Kingdom Very enjoyable day out. Our guide, Islam, took extra time with myself and two daughters to make sure that we didn’t miss out on anything. We stayed extra long in the water for the last session of snorkelling, which was great, and enjoyed the White Island. Highly recommend!
ShubhamUnited Kingdom Amazing day trip with very beautiful sites for snorkelling. The team was highly professional and helpful.

CatalinaCanada Everything was fantastic, we got to see amazing marine life, felt super safe, the boat was really nice. Life vests were provided if needed, our guides even took our cameras to take pictures underwater. Food buffet was really good. Nothing bad to say about this tour!
FreddieUnited Kingdom Very good we really enjoyed Mohammed was really friendly and good with everyone that was uneasy with swimming, overall we really enjoyed!! :)
RaznaUnited Kingdom It was mine and my husband's very first time snorkeling, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Mohammed was an excellent instructor, patient, reassuring, and very knowledgeable. He made sure we felt safe and confident in the water, guiding us step by step. The spots chosen were breathtaking. Ras Mohamed Island offered vibrant coral reefs and incredible marine life, while White Bay was simply stunning with its crystal-clear waters and serene beauty. It truly felt like swimming in paradise. Thanks to Mohammed, we discovered a whole new world beneath the surface and had an unforgettable adventure. We highly recommend him to anyone visiting Sharm El Sheikh and wanting to explore the underwater wonders for the first time or as a seasoned snorkeler.
BilginTurkey That was so good. Islam was very helpful and friendly also the crew. They took us from hotel snorkelling and tutorial was so good,Islam was always with us. Foods are delicious and white island and photo session is a good experience.
KellyUnited Kingdom Islam was our guide and he was extremely patient and helpful with my daughter who has adhd and struggles around a lot of people. He made sure she didn’t miss out on any of the snorkelling or White Island and took a lot of the mental load off me! I’m so thankful! Amazing trip amazing value for money!
MeganUnited Kingdom Amazing!!! Fab experience, well organised. Would highly recommend:)
KataHungary Islam was really nice with us the whole trip, the snorkeling and White Island were amazing! Recommend it to everyone
YasminIreland Amazing experience, beautiful location and great staff- special thank you so Islam🥰
KaiUnited Kingdom I cannot thank everyone enough aboard the Liberty1 The boat, was amazing and clean, the lunch was great( I’m a fussy eater) Everyone on board the ship was fantastic, me and my partner only went to go snorkelling, but after talking to the amazing diving instructor we thought we would try it, having never dived before, i went first, to make sure my partner would like it, Mohammed the instructor made sure we was comfortable, we had the best experience due to him being our instructor, I urge people to go diving, it’s cheap and just amazing! The lads who took us snorkelling where also amazing, considering the sea conditions where very tough! Just go ahead and book it, you won’t regret it
CourtneyUnited Kingdom The tour was very good, food was brilliant and staff for helpful and ensuring everyone was safe
AyaEgypt Very nice today everything very beautiful and thank you mido

LindaUnited Kingdom Great tour I included the introductory dive, the dive instructor was awesome so patient and covered all health and safety before getting in the water every part of the tour was superb!
AntonioItaly Very recommended especially for the price-quality ratio 2 snorkeling stops and stop in White Island. We booked without transportation and we went to the port by ourselves by taxi to be faster on the way back to the hotel instead of waiting for the shuttle bus to do all the stops in the hotels of the different guests
MarlonGermany We had a wonderful day trip! The pick-up was excellent and everything was very well organised. Our guide, Mohammed, was absolutely brilliant, very friendly and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!!!

MariaCroatia It was very very good and our guide Islam was very welcoming and helpful. I recommend booking this tour.
DanielaEgypt Islam was very helpful and he made the excursion enjoyable. We stopped 2 times for snorkeling then last stop the White Island, ofc a bit overcrowded as there are many other boats Once they stop close to the island you need to swim to reach it Just few meters then you can touch the bottom Lunch was ok Nothing special
SazedItaly The best trip ever. All the crew were very kind, they helped us in every situation . My diving coach (Ahmed) was the best one.
DavinaUnited Kingdom Excellent, the team were amazing and couldn’t have done enough to make sure everyone was happy and safe. The lunch was very good too.
