Description

The Paradise Island snorkeling trip from Makadi gives you a full day on the Red Sea for swimming, snorkeling, and quiet time on the beach. After pickup in Makadi, our team takes you to the boat departure point and explains the plan before you head towards Paradise Island. The day moves at an easy pace, with time in the water for confident swimmers and beach time for travellers who would rather sit in the sun.

Paradise Island has a sandy shoreline and shallow coastal water. It is a good place to spend the day away from the resort: walk along the beach, lay out your towel, or cool off with a swim. Reaching the island by boat makes the sea crossing part of the day, rather than just a transfer. Bring a light layer for the ride, as the breeze can feel cooler on open water.

When the boat reaches the snorkeling area, the crew prepares the equipment and gives clear instructions before you enter the sea. You can explore the waters around Paradise Island at your own pace, looking for small reef fish and other marine life along the coast. Visibility and sea conditions change from day to day, so the exact snorkeling areas may vary. Our team follows the crew’s advice and keeps each stop suited to the conditions.

The excursion includes snorkeling stops at different locations, giving you more than one chance to look beneath the Red Sea. Some travellers spend most of the time swimming between the boat and the reef; others prefer a short swim followed by a break on deck. If you are new to snorkeling, the guide can help with the mask and fins and show you how to move calmly in the water. You should be comfortable entering the sea from a boat, or tell us in advance if you need extra assistance.

  • Boat excursion from Makadi to Paradise Island
  • Snorkeling stops at selected coastal locations
  • Time on the island for swimming, snorkeling or relaxing on the beach
  • Guidance with snorkeling equipment and the day’s arrangements

Back on Paradise Island, the pace slows down. Relax on the sandy beach, swim close to shore, or continue snorkeling among the fish along the coast when conditions allow. The island suits travellers who want some activity alongside time to rest. Families can enjoy the open beach space, although children must be supervised near the water and on the boat. Travellers with limited mobility should contact us before booking, as boarding the boat and moving between the boat, beach, and water may be difficult.

We organise the practical details of the sea trip, including pickup arrangements in Makadi, coordination with the boat crew, and the return transfer after the excursion. A guide or crew member explains the snorkeling plan and safety points. The boat also gives you a place to store personal items and take breaks. That is simpler than arranging separate transport, equipment hire, and boat access yourself. The exact order of the stops can change with sea conditions and the crew’s local judgement.

Allow a full day for the excursion, including road transfers, boarding, the sea crossing, snorkeling time, and your stay on Paradise Island. Wear swimwear under comfortable clothes and bring sun protection, a towel, and water-resistant storage for valuables. If you are prone to seasickness, take advice from a medical professional before travelling and bring any medication you normally use. Pickup details and the meeting point are confirmed before departure.

Your Itinerary

Our team picks you up from your hotel in Makadi and transfers you to the marina, where you board the boat for Paradise Island. After the short sea journey, you arrive near the island’s sandy beaches and have time to settle into the relaxed pace of the day. The setting is quieter than the resort area, with open water, clear shallows and space to enjoy the beach.

The crew takes you to different snorkeling locations along the coast, so you can explore the underwater world of Paradise Island from more than one spot. Swim at your own pace and look for the variety of Red Sea fish moving around the reef. If you prefer a slower day, you can stay on the beach, swim in the shallows or relax in the sunshine while other travellers snorkel.

A simple lunch is typically served during the boat excursion, with time to rest before the return journey. After the final swim and boat ride back to the marina, your driver transfers you to your hotel in Makadi.
