Description

Paradise Island snorkeling excursion from Sahel Hashesh takes you onto the Red Sea for a full day of reef swimming and time on the island beach. After pickup from your accommodation in Sahel Hashesh, we transfer you to the marina and help you board the boat. The day moves at an easy pace, with time to swim, sunbathe and enjoy the open water between stops.

The main focus is the underwater life around Paradise Island. The boat usually stops at several snorkeling sites, so you can see how the reef differs from one spot to the next. Look for small reef fish, striped sergeant majors, parrotfish and other species moving through the coral. Visibility depends on sea and weather conditions, but the clear Red Sea water makes it possible to see the reef without advanced diving experience.

Before each snorkeling stop, the boat crew explains how to use the mask and fins, where to enter the water and how to stay near the group. You can swim at your own pace, with the crew nearby if you need help. Travellers who do not want to snorkel can remain on the boat, watch the view and spend time on the beach instead. Life jackets and flotation support are available for travellers who want extra confidence in the water.

  • Return pickup and drop-off from Sahel Hashesh
  • Boat trip to Paradise Island with several snorkeling stops
  • Snorkeling equipment and guidance from the crew
  • Time on the island's sandy beach
  • Lunch and soft drinks served during the excursion

Paradise Island changes the pace of the day. After the boat reaches the island, you can leave the water for a while and settle on the sand. Swim near the beach, walk along the shoreline or sit in the sun with a drink. This suits travellers looking for a quieter break from the tourist crowds, although other boat groups may also be on the island depending on the date and sea conditions.

Lunch is served during the boat or island stop, leaving time to eat before another swim. The menu is generally simple and suited to a day at sea, with drinks served alongside the meal. Bring personal snacks if needed, particularly if you have dietary requirements. Tell us in advance about important food restrictions so our team can explain what arrangements may be possible.

The excursion suits couples, families with confident young swimmers and travellers who want some light activity alongside plenty of downtime. Previous snorkeling experience is not needed, but you should be comfortable entering the sea with assistance. Boat boarding, steps and uneven beach surfaces may make the trip difficult for some travellers with limited mobility. Children should stay under close adult supervision near the water, on the boat and around the beach.

Our team organises the land transfer, marina arrival and return journey, leaving you to focus on the sea rather than arrange separate transport. The boat route and order of the snorkeling stops may change with the weather, sea conditions and the captain's local judgement. Wear swimwear under light clothing, bring sun protection and keep valuables in a waterproof bag. The return transfer to Sahel Hashesh follows the boat trip and any required marina procedures.

Your Itinerary

Our team picks you up from your accommodation in Sahel Hashesh and transfers you to the marina. After boarding the boat, you settle in while the crew explains the route, safety points and snorkelling equipment. The cruise across the Red Sea leads to Paradise Island, with time to enjoy the changing coastal views before the first stop.

At Paradise Island, you can swim and discover the underwater world with snorkeling stops at multiple spots. Each stop gives you time to look over coral areas and watch the fish close to shore, while the crew indicates the safest places to enter the water. You can also stay on the island’s sandy beach, relax in the sun or take a quiet walk away from the larger resort areas.

A simple lunch is served during the boat excursion, with time to rest before the return cruise. After the final swim, the boat heads back to the marina and our driver transfers you to Sahel Hashesh. Bring swimwear, sun protection, a towel and water shoes if you prefer extra comfort on the beach and around the boat ladder.
