Get the full VIP treatments on this ultimate snorkelling cruise. Set sail in luxury to three epic snorkelling spots in Ras Mohammed National Park at Tiran Island. It’s home to over 200 coral species and 1,000 fish species – you’re in for a real treat – and a BBQ lunch is also on the cards. Rabbi, one of our local guides, says, ‘Known to locals as the pride of Egypt, this National Park is a VIP zone for snorkelling with thriving marine life including blue spotted rays, red sea clownfish, and crocodile fish. There’s also a rich history of sunken wrecks to learn about.’
Your adventure begins with a hotel pickup – and the option to rent some gear – towards the Marina. Jump aboard the luxurious boat and let the crew and captain take care of the rest. Drink up the views and catch some rays as you cruise along the Red Sea and Gulf of Aqaba, heading towards Tiran Island, ‘the azure waters will amaze you’, adds local guide Rabbi. About 90 minutes later, you’ll anchor down at the first snorkel spot. Dive in and join the underwater party – exotic fish and dazzling coral reefs are the real showstoppers.
Hop back on the boat for more sun-soaked fun sailing to the next stellar snorkelling spot. Diving is hungry work so you’ll get to tuck into the BBQ lunch with chicken, prawns, rice, pasta and salad on the menu. After refuelling, unwind and enjoy some pleasant sailing before heading to the final location for some more underwater exploration. Take one last dive and snap as many pics as you can of azure waters before gliding back towards the marina and Sharm El Sheik.
