Best Scuba Diving Experience
It was an amazing experience. Tried Scuba diving for the first time thanks to the amazing instructors (Ibrahim and Abrahim). It was one of my best experiences in Egypt.

Gorgeous underwater life, fun staff and safe for all!
Amazing experience!! We did snorkelling in two spots, tried scuba diving also in those two spots. Had free non alcoholic drinks the whole trip and a massive lunch (we got seconds) which was absolutely delicious!!! The cook did a fantastic job - best food we've had so far!! The staff were incredible - for me they either make the trip or ruin it and they definitely made it!! They were all very knowledgeable, kept safety as a top priority for all guests, were friendly and super well versed in the reefs and islands history. Honestly the island was beautiful but the reefs were beyond dreamy. I would go back again purely for the diving and snorkelling only. Never seen anything so beautiful 😍 I would highly recommend to anyone in Sharm or planning a trip to the White Island. Please do this particular tour - you will be beaming throughout and after. It was flawlessly planned by the company and executed. The ship was spotless, equipment was clean and all very well looked after. 10/10 trip. Beautiful nature reserve. Incase you were wondering about the length of this trip, for us the trip lasted from 8:20am (collection time) - 5pm off the boat and onto the coach. It was a beautiful day, with well made memories to last a life time and belly full of the best food.

Impressive xxx
Very nice trip. Enjoyable snorkeling. Friendly, kind staff, especially snorkeling guide. Beautiful underwear views. Really worthy money likewise. P. S. When booking prices should be more clear what it's inkluded what's not, for instance no diving prices at the time of booking. We got inpression that it's included but it wasn't. However, generally well done, guys. Thank you. Vida.

Great value,great memories.
We spend a lot of time in Egypt and we always do a boat trip with Zizo from Sharm Life. This time we did the White Island trip as private trip with one other family, it costs a little more but is so much better. My wife and I travelled with my daughter and her husband with their 4 children. The ages where 2 boys at 12 2 girls at 11 and 16. Zizo had said there was the opportunity for the children to do a taster dive as well as snorkeling. We were picked up from the hotel on time and driven directly to the harbour. After a safety talk and breif preview of what was planned for the day we all boarded and off we went. Sailing out was fantastic, the sea was calm and the views were amazing. At the first stop by a small reef we did some snorkeling one of the boys and the 11 Yr old decided that they wanted to try diving so my daughters husband Paul and I got roped in. The dive master gave us a comprehensive safety briefing regarding how all the equipment worked and the hand signals that are used when diving. I have done a lot of diving in the past but still found it important to listen as the equipment as changed quite a lot since I last went diving. The dive Marshall on the boat was brilliant and everyone enjoyed the experience so much that they went again at the second stop. As we carried on to the White Island we came across a pod of beluga whales which swam around the boat for about 15 minutes. The boat moars a short way from the island and even non swimmers can go ashore onto an enormous sand bank that appears brilliant white. On the trip back to the harbour we enjoyed a nice meal on board and then back on the bus and back to our hotels. I have to say this was the best boat trip I have ever been part of and all at such a reasonable price.

Ras Mohamed & White Island from Sharm El Sheikh by boat: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sharm el Sheikh.
How much does Ras Mohamed & White Island from Sharm El Sheikh by boat cost?
+
Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sharm el Sheikh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ras Mohamed & White Island from Sharm El Sheikh by boat take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sharm el Sheikh is not rushed.
Is Ras Mohamed & White Island from Sharm El Sheikh by boat worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 32 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sharm el Sheikh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ras Mohamed & White Island from Sharm El Sheikh by boat?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Ras Mohamed & White Island from Sharm El Sheikh by boat suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ras Mohamed & White Island from Sharm El Sheikh by boat?
+
Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sharm el Sheikh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sharm el Sheikh and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ras Mohamed & White Island from Sharm El Sheikh by boat start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sharm el Sheikh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sharm el Sheikh?
+
On Outty we rank every Sharm el Sheikh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sharm El sheikh Safari ATV Quad with Camel Ride & hotel transfer, Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Magic Lake, Sharm El-Sheikh: Ultimate ATV Quad, Stargazing & BBQ Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sharm el Sheikh?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sharm el Sheikh?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
