Imagine gliding through warm turquoise waters surrounded by vibrant coral gardens and playful fish. Just off the coast of Makadi Bay lies one of Egypt’s hidden gems — Utopia Island, a natural wonder where sun-kissed beaches meet the crystal-clear Red Sea. Whether you’re an adventure seeker, a nature lover, or simply looking for a relaxing day in paradise, this snorkeling trip from Makadi Bay to Utopia Island promises an unforgettable escape.
Located near Safaga, about an hour’s drive south of Hurghada, Utopia Island sits within a protected marine area famous for its pristine coral reefs and tranquil lagoons. The area is less crowded than Hurghada’s central beaches, allowing you to experience the Red Sea in its purest form — quiet, colorful, and teeming with life.
The surrounding reefs are among the most vibrant in the Red Sea, home to butterflyfish, parrotfish, clownfish, and rays. The name “Utopia” isn’t just poetic — it truly feels like another world. The soft, white sand and the endless shades of blue create a dreamy, tropical atmosphere you won’t forget.
Your adventure begins right at your hotel door. A comfortable air-conditioned vehicle will pick you up from Makadi Bay and drive you to the Safaga Marina, where your boat awaits. The crew will welcome you onboard with warm smiles, a short safety briefing, and snorkeling gear.
As the boat sets sail across the glittering waters of the Red Sea, you can enjoy the sea breeze on the upper deck, take photos, or simply relax under the Egyptian sun.
Before reaching the island, your first snorkeling stop invites you to dive into one of the region’s most colorful coral reefs. Here, you’ll discover the underwater paradise that makes the Red Sea famous worldwide.
Even if you’ve never snorkeled before, your guide will assist you, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience. Life jackets and professional equipment are provided for everyone, including beginners and children.
You’ll have enough time to explore, observe the marine life up close, and capture magical moments underwater.
After snorkeling, the boat continues toward the highlight of the day — Utopia Island. The moment you step onto the soft, powder-white sand, you’ll understand why this island is named after perfection itself.
The island is surrounded by shallow turquoise water — ideal for swimming, wading, or just floating in peace. You can stroll along the beach, enjoy the warm sun, or simply lie back and watch the horizon melt into the sea.
Some visitors describe Utopia as a “slice of the Maldives in Egypt,” thanks to its crystal-clear lagoons and tropical ambiance.
After soaking up the island atmosphere, you’ll return to the boat for a fresh buffet lunch. The onboard chef prepares a variety of local and international dishes — grilled chicken, rice, salads, and seafood — along with soft drinks throughout the day.
Following lunch, enjoy a unique glass-bottom boat ride around the reefs near Utopia Island. From the comfort of your seat, you’ll see a spectacular view of the coral gardens and colorful fish without even getting wet.
If you wish, you can also try optional fishing or water sports such as banana boat and water sofa rides for an extra thrill.
As the afternoon sun begins to fade, the boat sails gently back toward Safaga. It’s the perfect time to relax on deck, reflecting on the beauty you’ve witnessed. Upon arrival at the marina, your driver will take you back to your hotel in Makadi Bay — ending the day with unforgettable memories of your Utopia Island snorkeling adventure.
