Ras Mohammed & White Island Boat Tour
Cruise to Ras Mohammed’s celebrated coral reefs, snorkel in clear Red Sea water, relax at White Island, and enjoy lunch aboard.
Combine Ras Mohammed’s coral reefs with the White Island sandbar.
Discover two of Sharm El Sheikh’s best-known marine attractions on a full-day Ras Mohammed and White Island boat tour. After hotel pickup, board a comfortable yacht and sail toward Ras Mohammed National Park at the southern tip of Sinai. Guided snorkeling stops introduce you to coral gardens, reef walls, and tropical Red Sea fish, with sites selected according to wind, currents, visibility, and marine regulations. Continue to White Island, a bright sandbar that appears in shallow turquoise water when conditions and tides permit. Enjoy swimming and photographs before returning aboard for lunch, water, and soft drinks. The exact route and order may change for safety and environmental protection.
