Ras Mohammed & White Island: Luxury Snorkel Catamaran Cruise

Sail a premium catamaran to both Ras Mohammed National Park AND the blinding-white sandbar of White Island — two of Sinai's most iconic seascapes in a single unforgettable day. Drift over coral gardens, then step onto a deserted white sand island rising from vivid turquoise shallows.

What to expect

The spacious catamaran glides from the marina past the Sinai mountains, arriving first at Ras Mohammed for a guided snorkel over the world-famous coral wall. After lunch on deck — a fresh mezze and grilled fish spread — the vessel sails to White Island, a brilliant sandbank that seems to float on an impossibly blue sea. Guests wade ashore for photographs that look like the Maldives. The return sail is timed for golden-hour light over the Red Sea mountains.

Good to know

Full-day tour: approx. 8 hours from marina departure. Confirm all-aboard time before booking. Catamarans can accommodate mobility-limited guests more comfortably than speedboats — worth noting when booking. Bring a dry bag for cameras.
