Program details
We will pick you up from your hotel in Marsa Alam and transfer to Hamta Marina, south of Marsa Alam. Completely untouched by tourists, these tiny, deserted islands are havens for wildlife, both on land and sea. Things kick off with a drive to Ras Qulan, where tangled mangroves reach down to the waves and provide a home for loads of exotic flora and desert animals - bring your camera and click away. Then board a boat to chug around three of the islands, stopping for snorkeling sessions before docking at one for a closer look. Keep your camera at the ready - It won’t be long before you spot plodding turtles and armies of colorful birds.
Hamata is an area under development, with very few hotels, eco-lodges and snorkeling centers already operating. Most of its coastal area belongs to the Wadi el Gemal National Park, where only eco-lodges are allowed to be built. The few snorkeling centers present at the moment offer reliable and professional services.
For the non-licensed diving enthusiasts, the centers offer free of charge pool intro’s, where visitors can experience the thrill of snorkeling on a one-to-one basis with a snorkeling instructor in the hotel’s swimming pool. The Hamata also offer experience programmers, where the visitor can try actual dives in the sea straight away, under the strict supervision of a snorkeling professional.
