🛥️ Detailed Day Trip Itinerary 🐠

Your day trip to the stunning Hamata Islands begins with an early pickup from your hotel reception in Marsa Alam around 5:30 AM 🚌. Remember to bring a photocopy of your passport. Enjoy the scenic drive south (approx. 130 km / 81 miles) to the Hamata Marina.

Upon arrival at the marina, board your comfortable cruising boat around 10:30 AM and set sail into the beautiful Hamata National Park. The first stop, after about a 45-minute cruise, is Syal Island. Here, you’ll have roughly an hour to either snorkel in the crystal-clear waters exploring the colorful fish and unique coral formations, or simply relax and sunbathe on the pristine white sand beach 🏖️.

Next, the boat moves to the second spot, Shawaret Island. Enjoy another opportunity for guided snorkeling along the island’s reef, discovering the rich underwater world . Afterwards, return to the boat around 12:15 PM where a delicious, freshly prepared buffet lunch awaits you 🍽️. Soft drinks (water, tea, coffee) are available throughout the day and included in the price.

After lunch, cruise to the final snorkeling destination, Um El Shiekh Island. Take ample time here to admire more of the fascinating marine nature before the boat begins its journey back to the marina with your guide (EN, DE, RU, IT, CZ, PL).

You’ll arrive back at Hamata Marina around 4:00 PM. Your transfer vehicle will be ready to take you comfortably back to your hotel in Marsa Alam, concluding a memorable day exploring the “Egyptian Maldives.”
