Ras Mohamed & White Island Diving & Snorkeling – Sharm El Sheikh
A full-day voyage through Egypt's most celebrated marine reserve and a secluded island paradise.
Set out on a guided cruise from Sharm El Sheikh for a full day of exploration at Ras Mohamed National Park snorkeling, where coral-rich reefs and turquoise shallows reveal one of the Red Sea's most diverse underwater ecosystems. The excursion continues to White Island, a remote sandbar offering calm waters and open skies. Professional guides, comfortable transfers, and an onboard lunch are included throughout.
Ras Mohamed National Park sits at the very tip of the Sinai Peninsula, where the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba converge. This meeting of waters produces extraordinary visibility and a concentration of marine biodiversity that attracts naturalists and water enthusiasts from around the world. The park's protected status has preserved coral formations that remain among the most intact in the entire Red Sea region.
White Island provides a quieter counterpoint to the snorkeling activity — a low-lying sandbar fringed by shallow, clear water where guests can rest, swim freely, or simply observe the surrounding seascape. The contrast between the two locations gives the day a natural rhythm of discovery and relaxation.
The full-day format allows unhurried time at each site, which is rare among shorter excursions departing from Sharm El Sheikh. Return transfers are handled by the operator, and the onboard lunch is served between the two stops, making logistics straightforward for travelers of all experience levels.

Itinerary
Your guide collects you from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh and transfers you to the departure port. The journey to the marina is short, and the team provides a briefing on the day's schedule before boarding.
The boat departs and heads toward the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, where Ras Mohamed National Park begins. As the vessel approaches the park, the color of the water shifts noticeably, signaling the clarity that the area is known for.
Guests enter the water at designated snorkeling sites within the national park, guided by professionals who point out coral formations, reef fish, sea turtles, and other marine life. Equipment is available for those who need it, and the sites are suitable for all swimming abilities.
After the snorkeling session, a prepared lunch is served on deck as the boat makes its way toward White Island. The meal break offers a chance to dry off, relax, and take in the open-sea scenery.
The boat anchors near White Island, where guests can swim in the shallow turquoise waters, walk along the sand, or simply rest in the sun. The setting is calm and uncrowded, offering a quieter pace compared to the snorkeling activity earlier in the day.
The cruise heads back to the marina in the afternoon, and guests are transferred to their hotels. The full-day excursion concludes with drop-off at your original pickup point.
