The Experience

The boat leaves Port Ghalib Marina and heads to the first snorkeling stop at Marsa Mubarak, where a guide enters the water with you to point out turtles, sea cows and the reef structure itself. The second stop at Small Shenwa follows the same format—guided entry, time to explore at your own pace, and the guide's knowledge of where the larger fish and coral formations are. Between stops, you're back on the four-deck boat with access to sun loungers on the upper levels, shaded seating if you want to stay out of direct sun, and air-conditioned salons below deck.

Lunch is an open buffet served on board, prepared by the boat's chefs and featuring local dishes. You eat between the two snorkeling stops or after, depending on how hungry you are and when the boat's schedule allows. A half-hour tour of Port Ghalib Marina is included after the snorkeling ends, so you see the marina layout and the boats moored there before heading back.

The boat operates morning and sunset departures, so you can choose the light and temperature that suit you. English, Italian, German and Czech-speaking guides are available, and the entire boat is wheelchair accessible—ramps, accessible surfaces and restrooms included. Infants can ride in a pram or stroller, or sit on an adult's lap; the boat is suitable for all fitness levels.

Is this one for you?Choose the morning departure if you want calm water and clear visibility for spotting turtles and reef fish; the sunset trip suits travelers who prefer softer light and a later start to their day. Both departures give you the same two snorkeling stops and the full boat experience—the choice is about when you want to be on the water.
