    AVOID! Awful day trip

    Worst trip in 40 years. , sold to us by tui as a limited number vip snorkelling cruise. The boat was packed, hardly any room to move, the boat stank of diesel fumes the entire time, there was no guide giving us any information or description, no briefing, just an hour and half ferry trip to first stop with no music,no atmosphere, no drinks, first stop we were just told to follow the guide in the water no one ask our swimming ability, on turnaround I and some other people realised i would not make it back to the boat we were so far out, if my wife hadn’t realised I was in trouble and alerted one of the guides i would have drowned! Back on the boat we were told it would be a luxury bbq cooked on board, it wasn’t, it was a three quarter of an hour queue for pre cooked food from containers, there was no fish was undercooked the prawns overcooked, all Luke warm at best with two small plastic cups of bottled warm coke, didn’t go back in the water for the other snorkelling as I was terrified, but one was outside a hotel and the final insult was the last one was literally right outside our own hotel , in 40 years of holidays and trips this was by far the worst day out

    Response from the operator: We are deeply concerned to read about your experience, particularly what you described during the first snorkeling stop. The safety of our guests in the water is a priority, and an incident where a guest feels they were at risk of drowning is something we take extremely seriously. We will open an internal investigation into the circumstances of your trip, including the snorkeling briefing and supervision, assessment of guests’ swimming abilities, number of guests on board, as well as your concerns regarding the diesel fumes, guiding, food service, drinks, and the overall experience compared with what was presented to you. We kindly ask you to contact our Customer Service team on WhatsApp at +201206630100 with the date of your trip, approximate time, and your booking details. This will allow us to identify the exact cruise, crew, and guides involved and conduct a full investigation. We are very sorry that the experience left you feeling unsafe and disappointed, and we sincerely appreciate you bringing these serious concerns to our attention.

    More a boat trip than a snorkelling one. Got us out for the day!

    A very well organised trip. The snorkelling was good but would have liked a bit more time to explore without being 'babysat' by the guide. We spent more time travelling than we did snorkelling and I would have preferred it the other way around. The boat and staff were friendly. They did take photos but we have no idea where they went and were not offered to see or purchase them. We can't get out of our head the sea guide shouting 'ELITE VIP!' constantly! :D If you are staying at the Jaz Fanara resort, we do not believe there is any benefit in taking this excursion as the snorkelling is similar to if not better off of the beach. A good day out though. Many thanks

    Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and honest review. We're glad to hear that you had a well-organised day, enjoyed the snorkeling, and found our boat and crew friendly. We really appreciate your feedback about the snorkeling time and the amount of time spent travelling. We understand that when guests choose a snorkeling experience, they naturally want to spend as much time as possible in the water. Your comments are valuable and will be shared with our team. We also apologise for the confusion regarding the photos. Our photography team should always make the process clear to guests, and we appreciate you pointing this out. And yes... we think “ELITE VIP!” may have become a little too memorable! 😄 Thank you again for your feedback and for joining us. We're happy that, despite the points you mentioned, you still had a good day with us, and we hope to welcome you again in the future.

    GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY and great for inexperienced snorkellers.

    This is a really good trip for anybody who wants to do some nice snorkelling in a really relaxed atmosphere and have a full day out. The crew are great. It's excellent for first time snorkellers because there are three guides with you with life rings if you need to take a rest or need help. They are very attentive and reassuring. The lunch is very good and the boat is really spacious with lots of sunbeds 25+

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for such a detailed review! We're really happy to hear that you had a relaxing day and enjoyed the snorkeling, lunch, and the spacious boat. It means a lot to us that you felt comfortable and well looked after, especially as a first-time snorkeller. Our guides are always there to support our guests and make sure everyone can enjoy the experience at their own pace. We'll definitely share your kind words with the crew. We hope to welcome you back on board for another great day in the Red Sea!

    Sharm: Elite VIP Cruise Ras Mohammed & White Island with Lunch: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sharm el Sheikh.

    How much does Sharm: Elite VIP Cruise Ras Mohammed & White Island with Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $90 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: Elite VIP Cruise Ras Mohammed & White Island with Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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: Elite VIP Cruise Ras Mohammed & White Island with Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 58 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: Elite VIP Cruise Ras Mohammed & White Island with Lunch?

    +

    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: Elite VIP Cruise Ras Mohammed & White Island with Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Sharm: Elite VIP Cruise Ras Mohammed & White Island with Lunch?

    +

    Around 20 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Sharm: Elite VIP Cruise Ras Mohammed & White Island with Lunch 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: Elite VIP Cruise Ras Mohammed & White Island with Lunch?

    +

    Included: Lunch; All Fees and Taxes; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Use of snorkeling equipment; and Marina Entry Fee "10 Euros" per person. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    +
