Pro tips to help you make a pick

Local secrets to save you time and money.

1

Choose Morning Departures for Calmest Seas

Wind typically picks up in the afternoon across the Strait of Tiran and around Ras Mohammed. Morning departures enjoy the flattest water, best snorkelling visibility, and far less boat traffic at popular reef sites.
2

Book Tiran Island Over Ras Mohammed for Fewer Crowds

Most day-trippers default to Ras Mohammed because it is closer. Tiran Island trips take longer but reward you with quieter reefs, less boat congestion, and the chance to snorkel over four distinct reef systems in a single outing.
3

Bring an Underwater Camera or Rent One Onboard

The Red Sea offers some of the world's best underwater photography conditions. Many boats rent GoPro-style waterproof cameras for the day. If you bring your own, ensure the housing is rated to at least 10 metres depth for snorkelling.
4

Apply Sunscreen Before Boarding, Not on Deck

Applying sunscreen on the boat risks it washing into the sea and harming coral. Apply mineral-based reef-safe sunscreen 20 minutes before departure so it absorbs fully. Wear a rash vest for the best combination of sun and reef protection.
5

Combine a Boat Day with the Old Market Evening

Most full-day boat trips return to Sharm El Maya Harbour by 4:30 PM. The Old Market is a 5-minute walk away and comes alive in the evening. It's the perfect follow-up for shopping, fresh juice, and a traditional Egyptian dinner.

About Sharm El Sheikh Boat & Cruise Tours

Sharm El Sheikh offers some of the finest boat and cruise experiences in the Red Sea. Day trips depart daily to Ras Mohammed National Park and Tiran Island, where snorkellers and divers explore coral walls teeming with fish, sea turtles, and reef sharks in water so clear the visibility often exceeds 30 metres.
Glass-bottom boats reveal the reef without getting wet, luxury sunset cruises trace the Sinai coastline, and full-day island-hopping expeditions cover multiple reef systems in a single outing. Most tours include snorkelling stops, onboard lunch, and hotel transfers. That makes them the easiest way to experience the Red Sea's marine world.

Interesting Facts (Fun Facts)

Discover hidden secrets and stories.

Ras Mohammed National Park was Egypt's first marine protected area, established in 1983, and its Shark Reef drop-off plunges 800 metres straight down. It's one of the most dramatic reef walls in the world.
Tiran Island sits in the narrow strait separating Egypt from Saudi Arabia and is surrounded by four named coral reefs: Jackson, Woodhouse, Thomas, and Gordon, each a distinct ecosystem.
The SS Thistlegorm, a British WWII cargo ship sunk by German bombers in 1941, rests just north of Sharm and is ranked among the world's top 5 wreck dives. Boat trips visit it regularly.
Glass-bottom boats in Sharm use specially treated viewing panels that can reveal depths of up to 12 metres, allowing passengers to watch clownfish, moray eels, and parrotfish without entering the water.
