White Island Boat Trip from Sharm El Sheikh
Experience one of the most breathtaking excursions in the Red Sea with our White Island boat trip from Sharm El Sheikh. This full-day adventure combines two of Egypt’s most spectacular natural wonders — Ras Mohamed National Park and the legendary White Island — into a single unforgettable day at sea. From the moment you board our spacious yacht at Sharm El Sheikh Marina to the moment you return, every hour is packed with beauty, adventure, and relaxation.
Snorkelling at Ras Mohamed National Park
Your first stop is Ras Mohamed National Park, consistently ranked among the top snorkelling and diving destinations in the world. The park sits at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, where the Gulf of Suez meets the Gulf of Aqaba, creating an extraordinary underwater ecosystem. Our professional guide will lead you through vibrant coral walls, gardens of soft and hard coral, and waters teeming with colourful reef fish, sea turtles, and exotic marine creatures. Whether you’re an experienced snorkeller or trying it for the first time, the underwater world here will take your breath away. National Park entry fees are fully included — no surprises at the gate.
White Island — Sharm El Sheikh’s Hidden Sandbar
After Ras Mohamed, we sail to the star of the day: White Island, a magical white sandbar rising from the turquoise waters of the Red Sea. Its brilliant white sands and crystal-clear shallow waters make it one of the most photogenic spots in all of Egypt. Wade through warm, calm water, swim around the island, or simply sit on the sand and take in the surreal scenery. White Island feels like a secret slice of the Maldives, right off the coast of Sharm El Sheikh — and very few tourists ever make it here.
Freshly Prepared BBQ Lunch on Board
Halfway through the day, enjoy a freshly prepared barbecue buffet lunch served right on deck. The menu includes grilled chicken, fresh fish, pasta, rice, salads, and unlimited soft drinks and bottled water throughout the trip. Eat with the sea breeze in your face and panoramic Red Sea views in every direction — there’s no better dining experience in Sharm El Sheikh.
The Cruise Back
As the afternoon winds down, relax on deck during the scenic cruise back to Sharm El Sheikh Marina. Watch the coastline drift by, reflect on the day’s highlights, and enjoy the golden light over the Red Sea. Your driver will be waiting to take you directly back to your hotel.
Practical Information
The trip departs from Sharm El Sheikh Marina in the morning and returns in the late afternoon. Hotel pickup is included from all hotels in Sharm El Sheikh. We recommend bringing a towel, sunscreen, a swimsuit, and comfortable water shoes. Snorkelling gear is available for rent on board.
