White Island and Ras Mohammed Boat Trip with Lunch
Two of Egypt's most celebrated marine destinations, one unforgettable day on the water
The White Island and Ras Mohammed boat trip combines a visit to one of the Red Sea's most pristine sandbanks with a guided snorkeling experience inside a protected national park, all aboard a spacious vessel with a freshly prepared buffet lunch included.
Ras Mohammed National Park sits at the very tip of the Sinai Peninsula, where the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba converge to create an extraordinary concentration of marine life. The underwater landscape here features vertical coral walls, dense reef formations, and hundreds of species of reef fish that have made the site a reference point for divers and snorkelers worldwide.
White Island offers a different kind of appeal: a low-lying sandbar rising from shallow turquoise water, its pale sands surrounded by calm, clear sea. The setting draws comparisons to islands in the Maldives and the Seychelles, and the relaxed atmosphere makes it an ideal stop for swimming, wading, and simply taking in the surroundings.
The full day unfolds at a comfortable pace, with professional guides accompanying guests at each destination and crew members on hand throughout the journey. The on-board buffet lunch gives everyone a chance to recharge between stops before the boat returns to Sharm El Sheikh in the afternoon.

How the Day Unfolds
The boat departs from a marina in Sharm El Sheikh and heads south toward the tip of the Sinai Peninsula. The crew distributes snorkeling equipment and delivers a safety briefing during the journey.
The first stop is White Island, where guests can swim in the shallow surrounding waters, walk along the sandbar, and take in the open-sea panorama. The island's calm, clear conditions make it an excellent spot for relaxed swimming.
The boat continues to Ras Mohammed, where guides lead guests to the best snorkeling spots along the reef. Colorful coral formations and abundant marine life are typically visible at shallow depths throughout the designated snorkeling area.
After the snorkeling session, guests return to the boat for a freshly prepared buffet lunch served on deck. The meal includes a selection of dishes suited to a range of dietary preferences.
The boat makes its way back to the marina as guests relax on deck. Arrival back in Sharm El Sheikh completes an eight-hour round trip, typically returning in the mid to late afternoon.
