Full description Marsa Alam Snorkeling Trip
Take advantage of convenient pickup service from your hotel, the airport, or the port and, after a journey of approximately 30 minutes, reach the bay of Marsa Hermes, also known as EL Naaba. Board a luxurious speedboat at the tourist wharf and begin your wonderful journey. Take in the views on the way while snacking on delicious treats and sipping coffee. A toilet is also available on board the boat tour. Jump in for an exciting snorkeling adventure in search of the dugong, also referred to as a sea cow, a protected mammal who occasionally visits this sheltered bay for grazing. If they don’t feel threatened, expect them to stay around the boat for 30 minutes or an hour.
Then, continue by boat to reach Shaab EL Mahalhala, which is considered one of the finest snorkeling and dive sites in the area. Along the way, you may spot colorful fish, turtles, and/or dolphins. During the boat tour, onboard, enjoy hot tea, soft drinks, and snacks before diving back in to explore the next site, the so-called Sharm Abu Dabbab, where the reef will surprise you with its rich colors and curious inhabitants. Totally satisfied at the end of your Marsa Alam Snorkeling Trip, transfer back to the quay and then to your pickup location.
