Private Coral Safari
Description of the Coral Safari Snorkelling tour
This is not a group tour. Your English-speaking guide swims alongside you personally - in the water, for the entire route. Pointing things out, explaining, finding what you would never discover on your own. A turtle sleeping under a coral. A moray eel in its crevice. Clownfish in an anemone. Sometimes - a shell you can open and take home.
The Red Sea off the coast of Sharm el-Sheikh is one of the finest snorkelling destinations in the world. You don't need to swim far from shore to find yourself surrounded by living coral gardens with hundreds of species of tropical fish. Underwater visibility reaches 15-20 metres - every coral, every fish in perfect clarity.
The Coral Safari is not a beach day. It is a purposeful route through four of Sharm's finest reef zones with an experienced guide who knows where is best today - based on weather, currents, and water visibility. The route changes slightly each day to show you the most impressive sights.
Can't swim? Not a problem. Life jackets available for everyone, guide alongside you in the water, comfortable pace. No rushing - maximum time in the water, minimum fuss.
No diving groups, no crowds. Just snorkelling, just reefs, just the Red Sea at its finest.
We know this sea like our own back garden:
- 🐢 We know where the turtles live - and we go there
- 🦈 We know where the moray eels hide - we'll show you, without disturbing them
- 🐟 We know the anemone beds where clownfish hide
- 🦊 We know the coral formations - reefs of extraordinary shapes
- 🌊 We know the underwater caves and coral arches - the things you'd never find on your own
- 📍 Every route is live - the guide picks the best spots on the day
Do I need to be able to swim?
Not at all. For non-swimmers there is a life jacket and the guide stays right alongside you in the water. Many of our guests snorkelled for the very first time on this tour.
Can children join?
Yes, children from age 4 are welcome. Life jackets are compulsory for children, and the guide keeps a close eye on safety.
Do I need to bring equipment?
You can hire a mask, fins, or snorkel on-site for $5 per item. We recommend bringing your own - it's more comfortable and cheaper. Water shoes are essential - the reefs are sharp.
Can I add underwater filming?
Yes. GoPro underwater filming and a finished Reels edit are available as an add-on, subject to arrangement. Please ask our manager when booking.
Is prepayment required?
No. Payment is made on arrival on the day of the tour.

Reviews of the Coral Safari Snorkelling tour
Our guide found us a shell beneath a coral - a real, live one. We opened it right there in the water. Beautiful inside, with a mother-of-pearl lining. The guide explained what species it was and said we could keep it. We brought it home - it now sits as a souvenir from the Red Sea. The children were absolutely thrilled! This isn't just snorkelling - it's a whole adventure with someone who knows every rock.
Four completely different zones, each with its own character. In the Sheraton area a turtle swam right past us - incredible. The guide was knowledgeable and pointed out the most interesting things. We brought our own masks - definitely the right call.
I had only ever dived before - thought snorkelling would be uninteresting. I was wrong. Ras Muhammad was simply stunning - pristine corals, fish everywhere. Recommend it even to experienced swimmers.
My daughter can't swim - she was given a life jacket and the guide stayed close. She was so excited she didn't want to get out of the water. Masses of fish, beautiful corals. Very calm and safe.
I booked the GoPro filming and got a brilliant video of fish and corals. The underwater footage was better than I expected. Four zones, each different, never a dull moment. The guide was top-notch.
