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.

Tour Highlights

Snorkel inside Ras Mohammed National Park, home to some of the richest coral reef ecosystems in the entire Red Sea.

Relax on White Island, a stunning natural sandbar with shallow turquoise waters and a tranquil open-sea setting.

Travel with professional guides who provide snorkeling equipment, safety briefings, and local marine knowledge.

Enjoy a freshly prepared buffet lunch served on board, included in the tour with no additional cost.

Explore two distinct marine environments — open sandbar and protected national park — in a single full-day excursion.

Suitable for all ages and ability levels, including non-swimmers, with life jackets and flotation aids available on board.
