Sail across clear blue water, explore colourful coral reefs and enjoy time at White Island during a memorable day at sea. Ras Mohammed and White Island Snorkeling Trip Your experience begins with transportation to the marina when hotel transfers are included in your selected booking option. After arriving, meet the crew and board the yacht for your journey across the Red Sea. Before departure, the team will explain the programme and provide important safety instructions. Find a comfortable place on deck, enjoy the coastal scenery and relax as the yacht sails towards Ras Mohammed National Park. The exact route and order of the stops may change according to weather, sea conditions and instructions from the local authorities. Guided Snorkeling Ras Mohammed National Park is known for clear water, impressive coral formations and a diverse marine environment. The yacht will stop at selected snorkeling locations where you can enter the water and explore the reef with an experienced guide. Before each session, the guide will explain how to enter and leave the water safely. Beginners can remain close to the guide, while confident swimmers can explore within the designated snorkeling area. Depending on the location and conditions, you may see colourful reef fish and different coral formations below the surface. Marine-life sightings are natural and cannot be guaranteed, but every stop provides an opportunity to discover the underwater scenery of the Red Sea. Snorkeling equipment is provided only when included in your selected booking option. Check the inclusions before booking or bring your own mask, snorkel and fins if necessary. Visit White Island One highlight of the Ras Mohammed and White Island snorkeling trip is visiting White Island, a beautiful white sandbank surrounded by turquoise water near the coast of Ras Mohammed. When sea and tide conditions allow, the yacht will stop nearby so guests can swim, walk through the shallow water, relax and take photographs. The bright sand and clear sea create one of the most recognisable landscapes around Sharm El Sheikh. White Island is a natural sandbank. Its size and accessibility depend on the tide, wind and sea conditions. The captain may change or shorten the stop when conditions are unsuitable. Learn more about Ras Mohammed National Park and White Island on the official Experience Egypt website. Lunch on the Yacht A buffet lunch is served aboard the yacht during the trip. The menu normally includes freshly prepared dishes such as salads, rice, pasta, potatoes, chicken and Egyptian kofta. The exact menu may change according to availability. Between snorkeling stops, relax on deck, enjoy the Red Sea views and spend time with your family or friends. The cruise offers a balanced day with opportunities for swimming and snorkeling as well as time to rest aboard the yacht. At the end of the programme, the boat returns to the marina. If your selected booking option includes hotel transportation, you will then be transferred back to your accommodation in Sharm El Sheikh. Who Can Join?
