Hamata Islands Snorkeling Boat Trip Itinerary

Morning Pickup & Scenic South Drive

Your journey starts with an early morning pickup from your Marsa Alam or Port Ghalib resort. Travel south in a comfortable AC vehicle toward Hamata Port (approx. 100km south of Marsa Alam city). Board our luxury snorkeling yacht and receive a briefing on the day’s marine exploration.

Sailing Wadi el Gemal Marine Zone

Sail into the protected waters of Wadi el Gemal National Park. Our first snorkeling stop is at the Qulaan Islands (Siyul). Explore virgin coral reefs teeming with biodiversity, including parrotfish, clownfish, and frequent sightings of hawksbill sea turtles.

Chef-Prepared Onboard Buffet

Recharge with a high-quality onboard open-buffet lunch. Our chef prepares fresh grilled fish, pasta, various salads, and seasonal fruits. Enjoy unlimited cold soft drinks and mineral water while relaxing on the spacious sundeck with panoramic views of the Red Sea.

Island Hopping & Mangrove Exploration

Visit a second and third island in the Hamata archipelago. Disembark on powdery white sandbars for a walk and bird watching (look for the Sooty Falcon). Enjoy a final snorkel in crystal-clear shallow lagoons, perfect for spotting stingrays and unique coral formations.

Sunset Sail & Hotel Drop-off

As the sun begins to dip, sail back to Hamata Port. Your private transfer will be waiting to drive you back to your hotel. You will arrive back at your resort in the late afternoon, fully refreshed from your Marsa Alam boat expedition.

Hamata Islands Snorkeling FAQ

Is this trip suitable for non-swimmers or beginners?

Absolutely. We provide **high-quality life jackets** for all sizes, and our **certified snorkeling guides** accompany you in the water at all times. The lagoons around the Qulaan Islands are **shallow, crystal-clear, and calm**, making them the safest environment in Marsa Alam for first-time snorkelers.

What facilities are available on the boat?

Our yachts are designed for full-day comfort, featuring **clean restrooms**, a shaded lounge, and an upper sun deck for relaxation. After your snorkeling sessions, you can use our **freshwater showers** to rinse off. All safety equipment, including a first-aid kit and oxygen, is standard onboard.

Why choose Hamata over other Marsa Alam snorkeling trips?

Hamata is the "hidden gem" of the south, located within the **Wadi el Gemal National Park**. Unlike busier spots, the reefs here are **virgin and untouched**, offering a much higher density of marine life, including **mangrove ecosystems** and rare coral species that are strictly protected from over-tourism.

What should I pack for the Hamata Islands trip?

Please bring swimwear, a towel, and a hat. We strongly advocate for the use of **reef-safe sunscreen** to help protect the delicate coral ecosystem. A **waterproof phone pouch** or GoPro is highly recommended to capture the stunning turquoise lagoons and white sandbars.

Are there any hidden fees or National Park taxes?

No. Our booking price is **fully inclusive of all National Park entry permits**, port taxes, and environmental fees. We believe in transparent pricing, so the only extra you might consider is a tip for the hard-working boat crew.
