Hamata Islands Snorkeling Trip – A Full-Day Red Sea Adventure

Experience the untouched beauty of Egypt’s southern Red Sea coast on a magical Hamata Islands snorkeling trip from Marsa Alam. This full-day boat tour takes you off the beaten path to the pristine and secluded Hamata Islands, offering a peaceful escape far from the tourist crowds.

Nestled within Wadi El Gemal National Park, the Hamata Islands boast crystal-clear waters, unspoiled coral gardens, white sandy beaches, and rich marine biodiversity — making it one of Egypt’s best-kept secrets.

What to Expect on Your Hamata Islands Snorkeling Tour

Your day begins in the morning as you depart from the marina in Marsa Alam aboard a comfortable, fully equipped boat. Onboard amenities include shaded seating, a sun deck, and snorkeling gear. After a short safety and itinerary briefing, the boat sails southward into the protected waters of the national park.

You’ll visit three unique islands, each offering a different snorkeling and relaxation experience. Activities include:

Snorkeling

• Dive into shallow coral reefs teeming with colorful fish, soft corals, and possibly sea turtles.

• Swim in warm, crystal-clear lagoons far from urban development.

Beach Relaxation

• Stroll along powder-white beaches, sunbathe, or just relax under the open sky.

• Explore mangroves, tidal lagoons, and rich coastal ecosystems.

Onboard Comfort

• A freshly prepared lunch is served on board, along with refreshments throughout the trip.

• Enjoy time between island stops to unwind, sunbathe, or chat with your guide about the unique marine life in this protected area.

Return in the afternoon with unforgettable memories of one of the most peaceful, natural, and visually stunning areas of the Red Sea.
