Known as Hamata National Park, this collection of islands represents a wonderful, colorful array of sea life, corals and nature at its best. This snorkeling adventure from Marsa Alam to the Hamata Islands focuses on three virgin islands where visitors can snorkel, swim and relax while enjoying the abundant underwater life.
Morning pick-up from the hotel in Marsa Alam leads along the shore to Hamata Marina, 30 km south of Marsa Alam, passing the Mangrove area of Wadi el Gemal National Park. Snorkeling equipment is handed out on the way to the port, before boarding the boat to discover the untouched nature of Hamata National Park across a full day of snorkeling around the three virgin islands. These tiny, deserted islands, completely untouched by tourists, are havens for wildlife both on land and sea, with corals and colored fish unseen elsewhere, alongside beautiful lagoons and varied reefs. The boat docks on one of the tropical islands for a closer look at the birdlife that makes the islands worth watching, with a walk along the pure white beach before returning to the boat for a delicious lunch. After lunch, the boat sails to a final snorkeling site before heading back to Hamata Marina, where transfer back to the hotel in Marsa Alam follows.
The best time is between October and April. The weather is cool and pleasant for visiting temples in Luxor and Aswan. Summer (June to August) can be very hot, with temperatures exceeding 40°C.
The drive takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours each way via the Desert Road, covering about 220 km (136 miles).
