A boat trip to Tiran Island is a great way to spend a day on a yacht in the Red Sea during your holiday in Sharm El Sheikh. Expect beautiful coral reefs, two snorkelling stops, an amazing underwater world, lunch on board and time to relax among stunning sea views.

Tiran Island and its underwater world

Tiran Island lies at the entrance to the Gulf of Aqaba, between the Sinai Peninsula and Saudi Arabia. Its waters are known for their clarity, beautiful coral reefs and rich marine life.

The area around Tiran is one of the Red Sea’s interesting spots for snorkelling and diving, with a wide variety of corals, tropical fish and other sea creatures.

The coral reefs around the island are the main attraction. There are also shipwrecks here, including the Lara and the Loullia, which draw underwater enthusiasts.

The trip lets you enjoy the beauty of the Red Sea and spend a few hours far from the bustle of the town.

The programme

The tour starts in the morning with a pick-up from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh. At the port you board a comfortable yacht and head for Tiran Island.

There are two snorkelling stops at sea during the day. You can swim with a mask and snorkel, explore the coral reefs and watch the colourful fish. Snorkelling gear and life jackets are available from the rental point.

After the snorkelling stops, lunch is served on board — a good chance to rest, eat and enjoy the sea views.

Why choose the Tiran Island trip?

Tiran Island is one of the most interesting boat-trip destinations from Sharm El Sheikh. It suits anyone who loves the sea and swimming and wants to see the beautiful coral reefs of the Red Sea.

Unlike a normal beach day, a yacht trip lets you spend the whole day at sea, snorkel at several spots and admire the Sinai landscape from the water.

If you are staying in Sharm El Sheikh and want to add a sea adventure to your holiday, the Tiran Island trip is an excellent choice.

Good afternoon! I was in Egypt for just a week from 25 March and of course wanted to see the sea and the underwater world. I was lucky to meet some fellow travellers on my first day who told me all about this agency, recommended it as reliable and said it was cheaper than the reps at the hotel welcome meeting. I didn't regret it one bit!! The trip was very well organised, and the yacht and the crew of divers were superb — polite, friendly and fun! The divers were real professionals: they explained scuba diving clearly, and each of them calmly and confidently took people down into the beautiful world of the reefs and their inhabitants. Many in our international group were diving for the first time, and everyone came back happy and impressed — someone even went down to 8 metres! The divers were matched to the guests: one spoke perfect Italian, another English, another Russian. The trip to the island and back was exciting too — we saw pods of dolphins several times! There were 3 stops for diving and snorkelling. After the second stop we had lunch — tasty and varied (vegetables, salads, meat, rice) — and fruit before heading back. Everyone, including lots of kids, came back full of energy and happy! I felt the boat rocking for hours afterwards, which was quite an experience too. Thank you so much for the trip! Next time I'll book with this company again. Sadly, I couldn't attach my video of the dolphins...

We booked this trip hoping for a bit of wreck diving. We did see a couple of wrecks, but to be honest the coral reef ecosystem impressed us more. By the way, the water is really clear and visibility is excellent, so bring your camera. We left ours at the hotel — big mistake...

I've just got back from an unforgettable yacht trip to Tiran Island! It was incredible — my first time on a yacht. We did several scuba dives and I saw such a variety of beautiful coral and fish. I've fallen in love with the underwater world! Thank you for making the trip so special, and special thanks to Said, who organised and booked it all.
