Private Boat Cruise with BBQ and Snorkeling

As this is a private cruise, the precise departure time is up to you: you can set out any time from 8:30am and will need to be back in port before 4:30pm. You'll be collected from your hotel in air-conditioned minivan for the short drive to the jetty.

Hop aboard your craft and relax with a cool drink as you listen to a briefing on the boat, its facilities, and your plans for the day. You can choose whether to sail for the Straits of Tiran, where the Red Sea narrows to create high-drama channels with startling reefs, fast currents, and grand marine life, or Ras Mohammed Marine Park, home to luscious coral reefs and gin-clear waters.

Whichever option you choose, you'll enjoy up to three swimming and snorkelling stops. Your PADI-qualified guide, either a dive master or a dive instructor, will be on hand to lead you through the reef and point out rare marine life, from turtles and rays to clownfish and possibly even sharks! Should you wish to have a try at scuba diving, please advise at time of booking.

Soft drinks and water will be on hand throughout the day to help you stay hydrated as you soak up the sun and the fresh sea air. At lunchtime, your onboard chef will prepare a barbecue feast, complete with a selection of salads: upgrade for a seafood barbecue.

Finally, you'll return to port for a private transfer back to your hotel.
