Never again
Nothing positive to say other than the coral and fish are wonderful. This excursion is much the same as the others I experienced in Egypt- low quality and designed as an opportunity to upsell. Intrusive photography and high pressure selling throughout and extra charge for snorkelling equipment. How can this be described as an snorkelling trip when necessary equipment isn’t included in the price Viator?Also, prepare to be treated like cattle during the transfers.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly glad to hear that you enjoyed the coral reefs and marine life, as they are indeed one of the highlights of this experience. That said, we sincerely regret that other aspects of the excursion did not meet your expectations. Your comments regarding the quality of the experience, the feeling of excessive upselling, intrusive photography, and the additional charge for snorkeling equipment are taken very seriously. We understand your concern, especially regarding equipment availability, and we agree that expectations should be clearly aligned with what is included in the tour price. We are also sorry to hear that the transfer process felt uncomfortable. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and your feedback will be shared with our operations team and partners to help improve organization, transparency, and overall guest comfort. We truly appreciate your honest review, as it helps us identify areas where we need to do better. Thank you again for sharing your experience.

A very nice experience. I wasn’t convinced about diving at first, but I decided to give it a try. Muhammad and Abdulah were very patient and explained everything. Thank you very much for this great experience. I highly recommend it!

Snorkel or dive trip
Great trip to the Ras Mohammed national park where you have the option to either snorkel or try dives. You are being given lunch and lastly you head to the White Island. I loved the snorkel spots and the guides was great. White Island was a bit overcrowded for my liking, but a lot of people loved it.

Sharm El-Sheikh: Ras Mohamed & White Island Snorkeling Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sharm el Sheikh.
How much does Sharm El-Sheikh: Ras Mohamed & White Island Snorkeling Trip cost?
+
Prices start at $35 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 Sharm El-Sheikh: Ras Mohamed & White Island Snorkeling Trip take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Sharm El-Sheikh: Ras Mohamed & White Island Snorkeling Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 42 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 Sharm El-Sheikh: Ras Mohamed & White Island Snorkeling Trip?
+
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 Sharm El-Sheikh: Ras Mohamed & White Island Snorkeling Trip suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sharm El-Sheikh: Ras Mohamed & White Island Snorkeling Trip?
+
Around 15 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sharm El-Sheikh: Ras Mohamed & White Island Snorkeling Trip 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.

Does Sharm El-Sheikh: Ras Mohamed & White Island Snorkeling Trip include hotel pickup?
