Tour Description & Itinerary:

Tour Description & Itinerary:
Get ready for an epic day exploring the hidden gems of the southern Red Sea. We’ll pick you up from your Marsa Alam hotel around 5:30 AM and drive about 1.5 hours south to Hamata Marina—alongside the breathtaking landscapes of Wadi-el-Gemal National Park. After a short break and boarding the boat, we’ll set sail by 10:00 AM toward the Hamata Islands, often called the “Egyptian Maldives.”

Our first snorkeling stop is Syal Island, where you’ll dive into vivid coral gardens and swim among colorful reef fish. Spend about an hour snorkeling with your guide or relaxing on the island’s pure white sand beach. Next, we head to Shawaret Island for a second snorkel session—drivers can even test their hand at fishing, and if you catch something, our crew will cook it fresh.

By midday, we’ll serve a delicious lunch on board: chicken, fish, rice or pasta, fresh salads, seasonal fruit, and unlimited hot and cold drinks. Energized, we continue to Um El Sheikh Island for a final snorkeling session and beach time. After soaking up sun and sea, we’ll cruise back to Hamata Marina, arriving around 4:00 PM, and drive you back to your hotel—ending your adventure around 5:00 PM.

Group Size: Small to medium group (usually 15–30 per boat)
