First dive ... fantastic experience - Boat trip with 3 stops. Two for snorkeling or diving and one for the white island. The diving instructor was fantastic. Very patient and professional. The excursion includes a 10-minute dive and being the first experience for me it was beautiful. I recommend this agency with which I made innoassto excursions to both sharm and Hurgada. Easy to contact, honest and timely prices and serious

Beautiful day at sea - The excursion exceeded expectations for the following reasons: The boats are great, spacious and comfortable and have two or 3 decks; the superlative boat assistance: the staff has literally dedicated themselves to us following us in every activity and assisting everyone in a perfect way. We stand in 30 people (with ample space available on the boat) as well as 6 people entirely dedicated to activities, plus the master, a cook and a sailor. The 3 marine places visited were of great interest. Both snorkeling and beginner scuba diving were superb, well organized and with good safety standards. Lunch on the boat was satisfactory. Coffee, tea, water and soft drinks available at will. This excursion appeals to those who love the sea, swimming and those who are passionate about exploring the coral bottoms or experience the thrill of tank diving assisted by an instructor (although not booked in advance it can be arranged once on the boat). Things to know in advance to avoid disappointment: 1) You spend the whole day by boat 2) The white island is often invisible as it is covered by high tide for about 20cm, in this case you just "walk on water" 3) To access the white island you have to swim a stretch: the staff also assists those who are not very familiar, offering the coupling to a buoyant doughnut dragged by themselves, but do not think of "getting off" the boat to go to the island, indeed the swim can be difficult if there is current or waves 3) There are downtimes: once you reach the port you are notified of the boat that will host you and you have to wait until the boat is ready to load the passengers. Once up you have to wait for the green light from the captaincy. It is possible that from arrival at the port to departure it can take up to two hours.

Island that there is no - We were picked up from the hotel by a zaga travel bus that took us to the port We boarded a very nice yacht where we also had lunch We made the first stop for snorkeling in a wonderful sea among incredible fish and then the one for Neverland Unfortunately the high tide covered the tongue of sand but it was very beautiful equally Recommended

SINDARELLAAAAAAAAA - SINDARELLAAAA...This was the motto of the tour. Beautiful and fun experience. Organized cruise with 3 snorkeling/diving stops. My almost 4-year-old son had a great time. I did 2 dives and my wife was baptized in the water. Very nice and special diving places. Large boat, clean and well organized. Good food. Already recommended to boys in the village. Guide in Italian good and competent. What can I say, try to believe.

Nice experience - Beautiful experience, everything organized to perfection. Omar is very nice and clearly explains how the dive will take place for those who choose to do it. Those who do not want to do it can opt for snorkeling The dive is charged separately and also the photographer during the dive. Diving and admiring the coral reef with all its fish is something really exciting.

Too much confusion and delays. Disappointed - Not to be done!!! Friday, November 21, 2025 Ras Mohammed excursion by sea paid 118 euros (total for 2 people) with Alpitour. Arrival by bus at the port at 08:25. Get on the boat at 10:10. Departure boat 10:30. So 2 hours late. After more than 1 hour (perhaps 1:30) of sailing we arrive at Neverland. Stop for 15 minutes on a strip of sand 100 meters long and 2, crowded with people. There were about twenty boats moored (each boat 20/30 people). Too many people, too much confusion. Same confusion in the 2 snorkelling points. I saw more fish in the reef of the resort where I stayed than in the spots where the boat stopped. Return to port at 4pm as the sun sets early in this period. Meal on board not commentable but perhaps it was the minor problem. In conclusion, if the Alpitour agent had informed me at least of any mass of people I would have met, since delays in departure are not attributable to anyone, I would have thought twice before buying the excursion. Definitely disappointed!!!
