8.Snorkeling Day Trip to White Island and Ras Mohamed from Sharm

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 428 reviews · from $35

Set out from Sharm el Sheikh aboard one of four yachts with a snorkeling guide, stopping at two Ras Mohamed reef sites before sailing to White Island. Expect about seven hours, lunch, soft drinks, and friendly crew, but bring your own towel, sun cream, and possibly rented snorkeling gear.

“The location and the coral reefs are stunning but the organization of the tour is poor. The activity is 6-7 hours long but in reality you won't snorkel for more than 30/40 minutes in total. It's true that it takes some time to reach the snorkelling spots by boat (but that it's an enjoyable time). The problem is all the time wasted here and there waiting because nothing is properly organized.”

It was well organized and overall a must do when you come to Iceland”
