Tiran Island Boat Trip with Diving and Snorkeling from Sharm El Sheikh

Discover the legendary reefs of Tiran Island on a full-day luxury boat adventure departing from Sharm El Sheikh.


This full-day Tiran Island snorkeling trip takes you aboard a comfortable luxury boat to three of the most celebrated reef systems in the northern Red Sea, combining outstanding underwater visibility with rich coral and marine biodiversity.

Tiran Island sits at the mouth of the Gulf of Aqaba and is protected as part of the Ras Mohammed National Park marine zone, making it one of the most ecologically significant dive and snorkel destinations in Egypt. The island's surrounding straits shelter four major coral reef systems — Jackson, Woodhouse, Thomas, and Gordon — each named after ships that ran aground on their peaks.

The boat anchors at three prime locations across the day, giving participants sufficient time to explore each site at a comfortable pace. Guides accompany guests in the water throughout each stop, pointing out resident reef fish, sea turtles, and coral formations that characterise the region.

Lunch and a selection of non-alcoholic drinks are served on board between stops, allowing guests to recover and enjoy the views of the island and the surrounding Sinai coastline before the next descent.

Tour Highlights

Snorkel at two dedicated stops around the reefs of Tiran Island, one of the Red Sea's most iconic marine sites.

Diving options are available on board alongside snorkeling, catering to both certified divers and beginners.

Travel on a comfortable luxury boat equipped with shaded deck areas and on-board facilities.

Lunch and non-alcoholic drinks are included and served on board between reef stops.

Three anchor points provide a varied underwater experience across different reef structures and marine habitats.

Guided underwater experience with knowledgeable staff supporting guests throughout each snorkel and dive session.
