Ras Muhammad and White Island Boat Trip with Snorkeling and Intro Dive

Discover protected coral reefs, drift along legendary dive sites, and enjoy a fresh lunch on the water.


A full-day boat journey from Sharm El-Sheikh takes you to two of the Red Sea's most celebrated marine destinations: Ras Muhammad National Park and White Island. This tour combines guided snorkeling, an optional introductory dive, and a relaxed onboard lunch into a single, well-organized excursion suited to beginners and experienced swimmers alike.

Ras Muhammad, positioned at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, is Egypt's first national park and one of the most biodiverse marine habitats in the world. Its underwater walls drop into deep blue water populated by hundreds of species of reef fish, sharks, and vibrant coral formations that have earned the site a global reputation among divers.

White Island offers a quieter contrast: a shallow, sheltered lagoon ringed by white sand and crystal-clear water that is ideal for snorkeling close to the surface. The combination of both locations within a single trip gives participants a broad view of what makes the northern Red Sea so distinctive.

Tour Highlights

Snorkel or dive at Ras Muhammad National Park, one of the Red Sea's premier protected marine sites.

Visit White Island's tranquil lagoon, known for its shallow crystal-clear waters and white sand seabed.

Participate in an introductory dive suitable for non-certified swimmers, guided by qualified instructors.

Enjoy a freshly prepared lunch served onboard during the cruise between dive sites.

Observe diverse marine life including reef fish, sea turtles, and coral formations beneath the surface.

Travel on a dedicated dive boat equipped with safety gear and experienced marine guides.
