Mahmya Island Snorkeling Trip from Soma Bay
We offer a relaxing day trip to Mahmya Island from Soma Bay. Discover clear waters, colorful coral reefs, and vibrant marine life. Enjoy snorkeling in a peaceful setting, then unwind on the sandy beach of this Red Sea paradise
Your adventure begins with a pick-up from your hotel in Soma Bay. A comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle will take you directly to the port where you will board one of the Mahmya boats for a scenic 1-hour sailing tour. Enjoy the gentle breeze and stunning views as you cruise through the turquoise waters of the Red Sea, watching for playful dolphins along the way.
Upon arriving at Mahmya Island, located on the southern shores of Giftun Island National Park, you’ll be greeted by white sandy beaches and palm-thatched huts, creating a peaceful oasis. The island is part of a protected area, ensuring its natural beauty and vibrant marine life are preserved. Boats moor at buoys off the pristine bay, and you’ll be transferred to shore via smaller boats.
Explore the crystal-clear waters and vibrant coral reefs around the island as you snorkel in the lagoon. The rich marine life and tropical fish are a true highlight of this trip, making it an unforgettable snorkeling experience. After snorkeling, you can unwind on the beach, soaking up the sun and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
A delicious lunch is served at the Mahmya Island restaurant, offering a variety of seafood and Italian specialties, with drinks available throughout the day. Take time to relax, enjoy the flavors of the region, and feel the peaceful ambiance of this stunning destination.
For those who prefer to stay dry, you can rent a glass-bottom boat to view the underwater world from the comfort of the boat. It’s a fantastic way to admire the coral reefs and marine life without getting into the water.
At the end of your relaxing day at Mahmya Island, you’ll board the boat back to the marina and enjoy a scenic sail back to Soma Bay. A transfer will then take you back to your hotel, with memories of a truly beautiful day spent in paradise.
