White Island boat trip.
The boat itself was nice clean had 3 decks. Top had no seats but we just used our towels to sunbathe. You had to pay extra for scuba diving & using equipment. I would 100000% to scuba dive it was AMAZING!! Highly recommend. (Downside was photos were £80 we haggled to get that price. The food was average. And the drinks they had one bottle of Pepsi & sprite. (Take your own.) White Island was a bit of a disappointment I thought it was going to be an actual beach. It’s a long line of sand out the middle of the water. And you need to swim around 10metres to get to it. Staff were amazing on boat and were very helpful.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed and honest review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the boat, found it clean and comfortable, and especially that our team made you feel welcome and well looked after throughout the trip. Your kind words about our staff mean a lot to the whole team. And we absolutely love hearing that **scuba diving was the highlight of your experience! It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the underwater world of the Red Sea so much — your **100000% recommendation** made us smile! We also truly appreciate your honest comments about the food, drinks, photography, and White Island. Feedback like yours is extremely valuable and helps us understand where we can improve and how we can make the experience even better for future guests. We’re also sorry that White Island was not quite what you expected. As it is a natural sandbank in the Red Sea, its appearance and access can be different from a traditional beach. Thank you again for choosing **E.T.O Travels** and for recommending the experience to other travelers. We hope to welcome you back to Sharm El sheikh for another unforgettable Red Sea adventure — perhaps another incredible scuba diving experience!

Excursion to white-island with extras.
The travel destinations are beautiful. Unfortunately, as always in the country, the additional sales here are very expensive. So once diving costs about 20min. 20,00€-25,00€ with diving equipment. Pictures and videos underwater are then taken and then cost extra again. The staff is fine. But you can tell it's all spent on money here. Drinks are there for a moment. But when it's gone, it's just empty. The lunch buffet is delicious. You have to hurry up there anyway, because when gone then gone. Just stupid if you have nationalities on board then in the group, which then load mountains on the plate, so that then the last ones have only rice and side dish. It's just a shame there's too little watching.
Response from the operator: Vielen Dank für Ihr ehrliches und ausführliches Feedback. Es freut uns, dass Ihnen die angefahrenen Reiseziele gefallen haben. Wir bedauern jedoch sehr, dass einige Punkte Ihrer Erfahrung nicht zu Ihrer vollen Zufriedenheit waren. Wir nehmen Ihre Hinweise zu den Zusatzkosten, der Organisation beim Mittagessen sowie dem Service sehr ernst und werden diese an unser Team weiterleiten, um unsere Abläufe zu verbessern. Unser Ziel ist es, allen Gästen ein angenehmes und faires Erlebnis zu bieten – Ihr Feedback hilft uns dabei, das noch besser umzusetzen. Wir hoffen, Sie dennoch bald wieder begrüßen zu dürfen, um Ihnen zu zeigen, dass wir aus Ihren Anmerkungen gelernt haben. Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Don't be fooled by the headline. VIP!!!
It's not a VIP tour or anything like that. I think all tours are similar. So don't have very high expectations. In fact, they won't pick you up from the hotel at the time they said they would, and the vehicle they pick you up in will smell awful. Then they'll line you up like sheep in a queue with hundreds of other people at a yacht harbour and make you wait. Then you'll go on a roughly 1.5-hour sea journey with hundreds of other VIPs!!! You'll witness some passengers getting seasick along the way. Throughout the journey, you will be served self-service refreshments from plastic cups containing cola and Fanta stored in a portable cooler. At the first stop, you will try to see the fish around the reef with 15 VIP yachts and around 500 people in a 300 m² area. Then you will move on to another similar reef where you will be served rice porridge, 2 spoonfuls of pasta, 1 spoonful of potatoes, and chicken. They call this an open buffet. After travelling a little further, you will arrive at White Island, where the VIP yachts will be full and they will not be able to bring you close to the island. If you have small children or cannot swim, you will only be able to view the island from a distance. The return journey is as you might expect.
Response from the operator: Dear [Mr: Yousef], Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review of your experience. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your expectations were not met and that several aspects of the tour fell short of what was promised or anticipated. At ( E.T.O TRAVELS ), we take all feedback seriously, and your comments have been shared with the relevant teams for immediate review and improvement. Please allow us to address the points you've raised: Transportation & Pick-Up Experience: We regret the delay in your hotel pick-up and the condition of the vehicle. Timeliness and cleanliness are fundamental, and we will be working closely with our transportation providers to ensure standards are upheld at all times. Crowd Management & Tour Organization: We understand how overwhelming it can be to experience long queues and large crowds, especially when a tour is marketed as exclusive. Your experience highlights a need for better logistics and clearer communication, and we will be revisiting our operational processes to improve this. Onboard Refreshments & Meals: We apologize that the refreshments and lunch did not meet your expectations. We recognize the importance of food quality and accurate descriptions, and we will re-evaluate both the catering arrangements and how we present meal options in our promotional materials. Reef & Island Visits: Your feedback regarding overcrowding at the reef and the limited access to White Island is well noted. While safety and environmental regulations sometimes restrict how close we can get to certain areas, we recognize the need to better prepare our guests for such situations in advance. We truly value your candid feedback and regret that your experience did not reflect the quality we aim to deliver. If you are open to it, we would welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly to learn more about your tour date and booking so that we can investigate further and take the necessary steps to prevent this from recurring. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Warm regards,

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed and White Island VIP Boat Sea 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 Mohammed and White Island VIP Boat Sea Trip cost?
+
Prices start at $51 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 Mohammed and White Island VIP Boat Sea Trip take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Mohammed and White Island VIP Boat Sea Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 9 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 Mohammed and White Island VIP Boat Sea 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 Mohammed and White Island VIP Boat Sea Trip suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed and White Island VIP Boat Sea Trip?
+
Around 3 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed and White Island VIP Boat Sea 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.
