Hamata Islands Snorkeling Tour from Marsa Alam is a great choice if you want to spend a full day at sea and explore the islands around Hamata. The trip takes you from Marsa Alam to Hamata Harbor, where you board the boat and head towards three beautiful islands in the Qulaan area.
The day starts early, with pickup from your hotel at around 06:00 AM. Once you reach Hamata Harbor, you join the boat and begin the journey south. During the trip, you have two snorkeling stops where you can swim over coral reefs and see different kinds of colorful fish. There is also time to enjoy the islands, take photos and simply relax by the sea.
Between the activities, you can sit on the shaded deck, use the onboard toilet and enjoy lunch on the boat. With hotel pickup, snorkeling equipment and a snorkeling guide included, the tour gives you an easy way to spend the day exploring one of the quieter parts of the Red Sea.

Your adventure begins early, as our driver collects you from your Marsa Alam hotel and drives you south to the Hamata Marina, around 130 km away. Enjoy the changing landscapes — the golden desert meeting the deep blue sea — before you reach the quiet port.
Step aboard a comfortable, fully equipped yacht and feel the excitement build as you cruise toward Hamata Island, part of the protected Wadi El Gemal National Park. The islands ahead shimmer in the distance, surrounded by some of the clearest waters in the Red Sea.
Your yacht will anchor at three distinct snorkeling sites. Each one reveals a new world beneath the surface — coral gardens bursting with color, schools of butterflyfish, and the gentle sway of sea fans. If you’re lucky, you may even spot a green sea turtle gliding gracefully beside you or a pod of spinner dolphins dancing nearby.
After your snorkeling sessions, step ashore one of the virgin islands. Feel the soft sand beneath your feet, listen to the calls of seabirds nesting in the mangroves, and take a moment to breathe — you are standing in one of Egypt’s most pristine natural sanctuaries.
Enjoy a delicious buffet-style lunch freshly prepared by the crew — grilled fish, salads, and refreshing drinks — while soaking in panoramic views of the Red Sea.
As the sun begins to dip, your yacht sails back to Hamata Marina. Relax on deck, feeling the warm breeze on your face — the perfect ending to a day filled with sea, sun, and serenity.
A day at Hamata Island Marsa Alam isn’t just another snorkeling trip — it’s a journey into one of Egypt’s last untouched marine sanctuaries. Between the colorful reefs, gentle sea breeze, and peaceful islands, every moment feels pure and timeless.
When you return to Marsa Alam at sunset, you’ll carry with you more than photos — you’ll carry the memory of a sea that still feels alive, wild, and wonderfully yours.
