Ras Mohamed Or Tiran Island Snorkeling Trip By Boat

A fantastic boat trip to Ras Mohamed or Tiran Island and the Blue Lagoon for snorkelling, lunch and to see the famous shipwreck. Who knows, you may even see some of the local dolphins who regularly swim alongside the boats!

We’ll pick you up from your hotel in Sharm at 9am in a comfortable, air-conditioned mini-van and drive the short distance to the harbour, where we’ll board our lovely boat for the day.

Setting sail North East of Sharm El Sheikh, your captain will be heading through the 1800 meter deep Gulf of Aqaba to the Blue Lagoon, as you relax on deck with a cold drink and admire the beautiful views on offer.

Snorkel at the Blue Lagoon
After the 2 hour boat ride through the beautiful Gulf of Aqaba we’ll arrive at the famous Blue Lagoon, a very popular site for tourists all over the world to come and dive, snorkel, swim or simply take in the views. Although the lagoon isn’t particularly deep, you’ll find an enormous range of tropical fish here along with beautiful coral reefs.

Snorkel at Tiran Island
After exploring the waters of the Blue Lagoon we’ll continue to Tiran Island for more snorkelling or if you prefer, a swim. If you’re lucky you may even see the amazing sight of the wild dolphins that live here as they play, swim and dive – a truly magnificent sight and quite common on this tour!

Well Deserved Lunch
All this swimming makes for hungry work, so we’ll be serving up a delicious lunch on-board the boat with options to suit all tastes.

The Ship Wreck at Tiran Island
After some time on board the boat for lunch we’ll head to the famous shipwreck at Tiran Island, a highlight for many of our guests, this huge doomed ship is fascinating to see. The 2,400 ton Loullia bulk carrier was wrecked between the Straits of Tiran whilst travelling from Jordan to Suez in 1981. Attempts to re-float the Loullia failed and were abandoned, but rumours exist of local drug dealers using it whilst it was still in good shape!

Sit Back and Sail to Sharm
After a wonderful day at sea relaxing, snorkelling, sunbathing, eating, drinking and generally having a good time, well head back to Sharm El Sheikh where you’ll be driven back to your hotel.
