We booked the Ras Mohammed, Magic Lake and snorkelling excursion for our family of six, and it was honestly one of the highlights of our holiday.
A special thank you has to go to Adam. He was absolutely incredible. He single-handedly helped and guided all six of us out into the sea so we could snorkel safely and confidently. His patience, kindness and encouragement made all the difference, especially for those of us who weren't experienced snorkellers. Thanks to him, we were able to see the most breathtaking coral reefs and colourful fish – the underwater views were simply spectacular.
The trip itself was fantastic from start to finish. Ras Mohammed is stunning, the snorkelling was unforgettable, and Magic Lake was beautiful. Everything was well organised, relaxed and enjoyable.
We also have to give a huge shout-out to Meddy, who went above and beyond what anyone could expect. Before even picking us up, he took the time to collect medication for some members of our family who had been unwell. That level of care and genuine kindness is incredibly rare and meant so much to us. He made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the day and his communication was excellent.
If you're visiting Sharm El Sheikh, don't hesitate to book this excursion. The combination of amazing scenery, incredible snorkelling, and exceptional people like Adam and Meddy made this a genuine five-star experience. We can't recommend it highly enough and would book with them again in a heartbeat!
We had such a good time on this excursion! The tour guides were very knowledgeable and made for such a good experience
Staff are very friendly and helpfull. We were a mixture of english and italian speskers and they made sure that everybody got info in their own language.
Expected to pay exyra for snorkle gear including life jacket but would be nice if the prices were given upfront. Paid $20 for 2 sets of fins and 2 life jackets (had own masks and snorkel). No price list at the hire place i could see so no idea what others paid.
Dive sight nice with lots of fish to see but due to large group of varying ages and swimming abilities very difficult to keep together. It was made even worse when other simular groups crosses paths. I know my son is a good swimmer but was easy to lose him in the crowds which was a bit unsettling.
Only real complaint was that there was no though to the environmental impact of the group on reef or wildlife. No mention of dos and don't and following guide we came out of water over coral which people were standing on rather than finding a clear path as we went out on.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We are very happy to hear that you found our staff friendly and helpful, especially with assisting both English and Italian-speaking guests.
We apologize that the snorkeling equipment prices were not clearly displayed at the rental point. We will make sure this information is communicated more clearly to our guests in advance.
We also appreciate your important comments regarding group size, safety, and protecting the reef. Your feedback is valuable, and we will discuss these points with our guides to ensure guests are reminded not to stand on or damage the coral and to follow safer entry and exit routes.
Thank you again for helping us improve our service. We hope to welcome you again and provide an even better experience.
Recommended experience, starting with snorkeling, then going to famous Allah's gate, till magic lake on the south of park.
Guide was able to speak 3 different languages & during travel tells something more about Ras Mohamed & Sharm El Sheikh
Great morning spent at Ras Mohammed National Park. First stopped to hire snorkelling equipment and then had Bedouin Tea before snorkelling. Swimming guide was patient helpful. Tour guide Mikky spoke many languages and clearly explained each location and the history. The magic lake with Mangrove Trees was amazing and the story was well told and interesting. Well worth the money for a half day trip, beautiful scenery and lots of photo opportunities
The whole day was excellent, we did the snorkeling, visited the earthquake cracks, mangroves and stone monument. The tour guides and driver was friendly and knowledgeable. The bus was comfortable with air conditioning. A fun day out and definitely recommend if your in sharm el sheikh ( 5 stars )
This trip was excellent value for money, we were picked up dead on pick up time by our lovely driver mohammed and guide mikky, everything was explained well, the snorkeling was amazing and i would highly recommend this trip
Relaxing trip. Seen a lot. Had a sand storm on the day the guide got us all back on the couch it passed quickly and we all had a laugh about it. Thank you as always I will use viator again and again
Best experienced to see Ras Mohamed National park and Sherif is one of best guide to have it. He explained everything about history of Sharm el Shiekh and other part of Egypt and gave advice to visit some beautiful places as well. Over all very good experience and best guide Sheriff
Hamdy was an excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the parks history.
Only issue was that the tour company had arranged a group of 3 different language speakers so the tour guide had to repeat the same thing 3 times in different languages. This could have been planned better.
A well organised tour covering many aspects of this part of the Sinai peninsula: natural and man-made features, all well explained by our jovial and helpful guide and his assistants.
All in all a great day just felt a bit rushed around the coral and did feel a bit like a photo shoot where as my partner and I would have just preferred to look at our own pace.tiur guide and rest of the people looking after us where fantastic and very funny all Ng with a wealth of knowledge would recommend
Really good tour. Guide was knowledgeable and informative. Places we saw were superb. Collected and returned to hotel promptly. Would highly recommend.
Mediocre activity due to the staff
The guide as well as the driver were unpleasant
We left with two extra people
From the beginning they gave 100 dollars for the photos which disadvantaged us because arriving at Ras Mohamed the photographer only left with them and didn't pay attention to us, well actually he came at the second stop, the Hala gates
Furthermore, everything was very rushed: 1 hour at Ras Mohamed, 10 minutes at the Hala gates, 10 minutes at the crack
30 minutes at Magic Lake
Honestly, if you want to enjoy yourself, don't go with them
When we discuss it with the providers, they of course defend their guide and make us understand that we are liars and reproach us for things that are none of their business regarding the children

Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were not fully satisfied with your experience.
However, after reviewing the details with our team, we would like to clarify a few points. Our photographer offered to take your photos several times during the tour, as is done with all guests. It is therefore not correct to suggest that you were deliberately ignored. Purchasing photos is completely optional and has no influence whatsoever on the attention or service provided to any guest.
The tour was operated according to the advertised itinerary, including the scheduled visits and timings. We treat all our guests equally, and it would be unacceptable for our team to intentionally neglect or disadvantage any customer.
We also checked with our staff regarding the day in question, and no other guests reported any similar issue or complaint about the guide, driver, or organization of the tour.
We always take genuine feedback seriously, but we also believe it is important to clarify inaccurate statements so future guests have a fair and accurate understanding of the experience.
Unique experience, Egyptians are kind and friendly, fantastic day.
Pleasant day, enchanting sea.

Great trip with an excellent guide, Mike
Wonderful places and a snorkeling route immersed in a multitude of fish and a rainbow of colors
Auto-translated
Beautiful experience, very well organized both in terms of transportation and the guide, friendly and knowledgeable. In addition to seeing wonderful places, they also gave us all the necessary time to enjoy them with friends and family without ever rushing us.
We left at 7:40 from the Savoy hotel and returned at 14:00.
The only thing to clarify is that the rental of snorkeling equipment does not include the life jacket, which must be rented separately at a cost of €5 each.

Nice experience. Amdi was a very good guide, speaks good Italian. Very nice snorkeling

Recommended half day tour. Snorkeling at the corals was the highlight for me, but Magic Lake was also a highlight. I found it less nice that there was an extra photographer who only provides his pictures for an additional fee (also applies to other tours in the Sinai Peninsula). Better if the Führer would take a picture with my camera or cell phone.

Beautiful hike, between crystal clear sea and desert. Beautiful door of Allah, very nice guide, speaks Italian. Recommended

An experience to do absolutely. beautiful landscapes, colorful fish and "the magical lake" with its crystal clear waters.
Hamdi our guide was at the top with his detailed explanations and the young photographer who accompanied us (Mohammed I think 🙄) was very nice.
Recommend without any hesitation if you go to Sharm El Sheik

Everything went very well and it was a really beautiful experience. First we snorkeled at Ras Mohammed National Park, with a beautiful sea and lots of colorful fish. Then we stopped in the Bedouin tent, where we did some shopping. Then, by bus, we went to see the quake rift, very interesting and suggestive. Afterwards we visited the lake where you could see the zebrafish and, finally, we went to the Magic Lake to make the three wishes by throwing three pebbles. Well organized and absolutely recommended trip!
