Not recommended
Sad to say but it was a big disappointment! There were way too many boats at the same time. I counted 62 at a time,but there were more. Took 11.5h total 8 boats stop around a small coral. You cannot swim on your own and have to follow the guide which leads to everyone kicking each-other in the face. There are 2 stops. I didn't even get off at the second as I was so disappointed after the first. It is good for first time snorklers as they help you a lot. Then there was lunchwhich was good. Free soft drinks and water is available throughout. The boat is lovely and the ride was lovely. The water is magical. The white island unfortunately had the same problem with too many tourists, the island isn't visible as it looks like an ant's nest. We were taken with a rubber duck boat from the bit to the island. Took 3trips to off load everyone and then you have to wait for them to pick you up at some point again. It was a nice swim but it was cold.
Response from the operator: We don't know from where this guy booked this trip but it wasn't with us Sharm Smile Tour. It is really shame when you want to evaluate a specific experience so you go and then submit your feedback anywhere regardless if they are the real ones who you experienced your activity through or not. We have different standards which are total different than what you mentioned in your review to make sure that our customers will be able to get the full of the experience. So please delete this review from our listing or at least move your review to the right place.

White Island & Ras Mohamed National Park Snorkeling Boat Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sharm el Sheikh.
How much does White Island & Ras Mohamed National Park Snorkeling Boat Trip 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 White Island & Ras Mohamed National Park Snorkeling Boat Trip 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 White Island & Ras Mohamed National Park Snorkeling Boat Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 57 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 White Island & Ras Mohamed National Park Snorkeling 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 White Island & Ras Mohamed National Park Snorkeling Boat Trip 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 White Island & Ras Mohamed National Park Snorkeling Boat Trip?
+
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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does White Island & Ras Mohamed National Park Snorkeling 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.
