šŸ“‹ Tour overview

šŸ—ŗļø What to expect on this tour

Your marine adventure begins with a morning hotel pickup in a comfortable, air-conditioned transfer vehicle. Head to the marina to step on board our premium, double-deck yacht. As we set sail across the deep blue of the southern Red Sea, relax on the sun lounger, feel the fresh breeze, and look out for dolphins playing along the boat's bow wave.

We will drop anchor in the shallow, protected lagoon of the Sataya Reef. Here, you'll slide into the water to enjoy snorkeling near wild dolphins as they glide beside you. After this breathtaking encounter, return to the yacht for a freshly prepared buffet lunch before heading out to snorkel the reef's outer coral gardens.
