    Not the best I’ve been on

    It was okay but not the best I say other boats might be better, They also sit over you while you write your review so everyone is polite and no bad reviews get posted

    Amazing day

    That was an amazing experience. We loved everything BUT do prepare yourself is very cold on board due to windy conditions so do take very warm clothes with you otherwise you will end up staying covered with your towels and not being able to enjoy anything, especially after the first stop after you swim. Last stop in White Island is only for 10’ for a picture which was lovely and we did request to go back on board early as we were super cold like most of people, plus you can’t swim as the water it very low so is basically just for a picture. Prepare yourself with water proof cases for your phones so you can take your own pictures and snorkelling as they cost £25.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear that you had an amazing day exploring Ras Mohamed National Park and White Island. These places are truly unique and we’re happy you enjoyed the trip overall. You’re absolutely right that it can get quite windy and chilly on the boat, especially after swimming, so bringing warm clothes is a great tip for future guests. We also appreciate your helpful advice about waterproof phone cases so travelers can capture their snorkeling memories. Thank you again for your valuable feedback, and we hope to welcome you on another Red Sea adventure very soon! 🌊🐠

    Not for Divers!!

    Not a trip for diving!!! Nice crew but definitely not a trip for divers. The dive included, also includes going underwater for a photoshoot and back up. If you want to do a real dive you need to pay quite a lot more with diver with very little English and little knowledge of fish names. If you looking for a diving experience, go through official diving centres!!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you found the crew nice, but we’re sorry the diving experience did not match your expectations. This trip is designed as a combined snorkeling and introductory diving experience at **Ras Mohamed National Park** and **White Island**, which may feel limited for certified or very experienced divers. The included dive is intended as a short guided experience, and additional or more advanced dives are optional at extra cost. We understand that clearer communication about this would help guests choose the right tour for their expectations. For certified divers looking for longer or more technical dives, we also recommend booking through specialized diving centers in **Sharm El Sheikh** to ensure the experience fully matches their level. We truly appreciate your honest feedback — it helps us improve our descriptions and transparency for future guests.

    Cheap cruise with aggressive selling of extras

    Egyptra seem to be a booking service and the cruise was run by Crazy Shark or similar. The pickup from hotel was at 7.50. the driver got lost and we didn't get to the dock until around nine which was chaotic, then the fairly decrepit boat didn't leave before ten, over two hours after pickup. The website suggests unlimited soft drinks, but really you get to pour yourself a coke from a bottle. Bags of crisps and tiny tubes of pringles were on sale for $5. Bring your own snacks and water! You get about ten minutes on White Island which is packed with hundreds of people from other trips. Just enough for the photographer to take his photos in reality. The website promises two dive stops but only got one ten minute scuba, extended to 20 for another $25, but the instructors were excellent. Then the rest of the trip was aggressive selling of some frankly average photos for $60 and underwater ones for $150. And finally they force you to do a TripAdvisor review while on the boat and want a photo of your phone as proof, so no wonder people are scared to give less than five stars. Taken as a cruise with some snorkelling and one short dive, it's a bargain at $30. But take your own snacks and photos!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your detailed and honest feedback — we truly appreciate it, even if your experience was not as smooth as it should have been. First, we sincerely apologize for the issues you faced during the trip. Your comfort and satisfaction are our priority, and it’s clear that several points did not meet expectations. We are already reviewing these concerns with the operating company to prevent similar situations in the future.

    They gave different rates

    Tariq cheated us by giving us different rates, nobody should do anything with this company as they are scammers and lied to us.

    Response from the operator: We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced. However, we would like to clarify that there is currently no employee by that name on our team. If your booking was indeed made with us, please contact us immediately so we can investigate the matter and arrange compensation for you right away.

    Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed, white Island, Diving Boat 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, white Island, Diving Boat Trip cost?

    +

    Prices start at $47 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, white Island, Diving Boat 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 Mohammed, white Island, Diving Boat Trip worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 60 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, white Island, Diving Boat 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, white Island, Diving Boat 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 Mohammed, white Island, Diving Boat Trip?

    +

    Around 21 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 Mohammed, white Island, Diving Boat 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.

    What is included in Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed, white Island, Diving Boat Trip?
