White Island & Ras Mohammed National Park Boat Tour

Sail to one of the Red Sea's most iconic marine reserves and snorkel among world-class coral reefs.


A full-day excursion aboard a comfortable boat, this tour brings you to White Island and Ras Mohammed National Park, two of the most celebrated natural landmarks accessible from Sharm El Sheikh. The journey combines scenic sailing, guided snorkelling stops, and a relaxed onboard lunch for a well-rounded day on the water.

Ras Mohammed National Park sits at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, where the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba meet. The collision of these two bodies of water creates exceptionally rich underwater conditions, supporting some of the densest concentrations of coral and reef fish found anywhere in the Red Sea.

White Island is a striking sandbar formation within the park that offers shallow, calm waters ideal for snorkelling, even for those with limited experience. The surrounding reef systems host a vivid variety of hard and soft corals alongside hundreds of fish species, making each underwater moment genuinely rewarding.

The tour is rated easy and suits a wide range of travellers, including families and older guests. Hotel pick-up and drop-off in an air-conditioned vehicle are included, removing any logistical complexity from your day.

Enjoy a delicious onboard lunch with soft drinks included throughout the day.
