Experience was wonderful - My experience was wonderful, and the snorkeling guides were extremely supportive. Even people with limited swimming abilities were able to enjoy the snorkeling experience with their help. The team was very friendly, welcoming, and overall, it was an amazing experience. Our snorkeling guide, Bassam, was exceptional and the best guide I've ever had. He was incredibly patient, encouraging, and had a great sense of humor. I highly recommend this experience, as it was a fantastic adventure.

Ras Mohammed sea trip - Plus points - trip by boat very good, boat well equipped and staff friendly. Scenery excellent. Took lots of pics. Snorkelling excellent in 2 areas. Included lunch good and no upset tummy. Weather very good and warm. Good for couples & family.
Minus points - maybe add a 3rd snorkelling session, toilets had no soap and once they got used floor not frequently cleaned and we were al in bare feet !

Missing national park - No German tour guide. We paid 6 euros each for the national park and didn't go there. It's a shame. The food was OK.

Stunning scenery, inexpensive day out with the kids, but is lacking organisation! - Overall, a great day out with the kids for them to explore more and have an intro into the reef and snorkelling. The on-board team were great, very patient with older and younger guests alike (Omar was a stand-out, he was fantastic). Encouraging our younger two to enjoy the water. English was offered in briefings, the lunch was lovely, more drinks other than water could have been offered with lunch, and we were under the impression there would be from the booking (actually only water and tea was available)
None of these were offered. What's Included - Coffee and/or Tea & Soda/Pop & Bottled water
Water from a dispenser, and a small amount of tea only!?! Had we of known this wasn't the case we would have brought more for the kids.
The day however was very disorganised, we didn't receive the pick-up time and location until after 10pm the night before, despite chasing throughout the dat. They also do not pick up from the hotel reception, which we were not told until we were actively chasing being picked up. We then had to move quickly to the main entrance of the hotel.
On arrival at the jetty, it is very busy, and we waited over an hour to be called for our boat. We also paid for the snorkel equipment as a part of the tour, twice I had to repeat this when attempting to be charged, lucky I had my booking confirmation to hand to show this, however it was quite embarrassing when you are at the other end of a raised voice!
Kids should also have their life jackets included in the price, not as an optional paid extra. The currents are strong, and you have to swim to and from the White Island. Same with the second dive spot, the current is strong - This should be a safety measure included, and not optional.
The White Island is stunning, but very busy, with lots of boat photographers, and people using it as a heavily posed photo shoot opportunity, with little regard to those around who just want to enjoy the surroundings, and grab a quick family photo - Perhaps we were there on an exceptionally busy day/time??
Lunch between the White Island and the 2nd dive site was quite rushed, and could have perhaps waited until after the 2nd dive, as it was a long journey back - the last swimming site on the journey back was very rushed and we were told strictly not to take our snorkel sets, which was baffling as there were fantastic things for the kids to see underwater!!! And other boat customers were happily enjoying using their snorkelling sets.
What would have made this trip better would have been to hear from the experienced divers and crew on the boat, about the history of Ras Mohamed National Park, and the White Island both land and sea facts - What living creatures we would see in those areas. Felt a little like a conveyer belt - On the boat, off the boat - Some history and knowledge would have been a great addition to the day.
Overall, it was an inexpensive day out, if you are looking to see real beauty Tiran Island is where you should go. What you read in this tours 'what to expect' section is what you should NOT expect. The below were not offered/delivered
- Enjoy the water sports activities, like banana and sofa boats in the Ras Mohamed National Park trip.?

Fine if you're only interested in beautiful pictures. - This place has become a tourist trap! Var hasn't been there since 2011, and to say a lot has happened at that time.
20-30 boats full of people are located around a small reef. There are arms and legs, snorkelers above, "divers" below, photographers who will perpetuate everything, and guides who scream constantly.
2 such stops, and a 3. Stop on "white island" only to take great pictures.
This was my experience of it, unfortunately. Remember the place as a beautiful gem, but I probably won't go there again..
