Frequently Asked Questions

The Hamata Islands sit roughly 90 km south of Marsa Alam along the Red Sea coast. Together they form a protected nature reserve featuring untouched coral reefs, crystal-clear waters, and diverse marine life such as sea turtles, dugongs, rays, and hundreds of tropical fish species.

The boat ride from Hamata Marina out to the snorkeling spots near the islands takes roughly 20-30 minutes. The full day trip from your hotel in Marsa Alam covers the drive to the marina (about 90 km) plus a whole day on the water with several snorkeling stops.

Participants should have at least basic swimming skills to make the most of the snorkeling. That said, life jackets are provided for less confident swimmers, and children or nervous guests can still enjoy the reef from the boat or with added guidance in shallow spots.

Pack a swimsuit, towel, sunscreen (reef-safe where possible), a change of clothes, and any personal medication. Snorkeling gear, life jackets, lunch, water, and soft drinks are all included. A hat and sunglasses come in handy for the boat ride back under the afternoon sun.
