The crew were friendly, attentive and made sure everyone felt safe and relaxed. The snorkelling itself was unforgettable — crystal-clear water, colourful coral, and so many vibrant fish. My husband and I loved every moment, and even my 2yr old enjoyed the trip. White Island was absolutely stunning and felt like paradise. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Sharm!”

We sat on it until almost 10.15 before he slowly set out. They told us we were going to a quiet spot but by the time we arrived there must have been at least 50 boats there. We then had to snorkel over all the ropes trying to miss all the other snorkels and divers both getting kicked in the face and sides by a lot of inconsiderate swimmers”
