Your snorkel day

Three beach spots on the Marsa Alam coast, chosen for calm water and easy entry. No boat, so no seasickness.

  1. Pickup at your hotel

    Early morning, straight from your hotel. No detours to collect other groups.

  2. Marsa Igla

    A sheltered bay with seagrass where green sea turtles come to feed. On lucky days, a dugong too.

  3. Sharm El Luli

    White sand and turquoise water inside Wadi El Gemal National Park, with coral a few steps from the beach.

  4. Lunch at Marsa Tondoba

    Traditional Egyptian food, cooked fresh at a Bedouin restaurant right on the sea.

  5. Back at your hotel

    Late afternoon. Your underwater photos arrive on WhatsApp the next day.

Meko is in the water with you the whole time: pointing out wildlife, watching the current and helping anyone who feels unsure.

What you'll see, honestly

Nobody can order nature, and a guide who promises dolphins on demand is not being straight with you. What we can do is take you where the animals live, at the right time of day.

Meko, founder and guide of MantaAlam, on the beach in Marsa Alam

Hi, I'm Meko.

I've guided on these reefs for 20 years and shown them to more than 2,000 guests. I know where the turtles feed, and which bays stay calm when the wind picks up.

I never take more than 15 guests, so everyone gets real attention in the water. I answer every WhatsApp message myself, usually within two hours.

Before you book

Do I have to pay in advance?

No. You confirm your place on WhatsApp and pay on the day of the trip.

What if I need to cancel?

Tell us on WhatsApp. Cancelling is free up to 24 hours before the trip.

What happens if the weather is bad?

If the sea isn't safe, we cancel and you pay nothing. On windy days we choose bays that stay sheltered.

I'm not a confident swimmer. Can I join?

Yes. You wear a life vest, walk in from the beach, and Meko stays close to you in the water.

What should I bring?

Swimwear, a towel, reef-safe sunscreen, a hat and dry clothes. We bring all the snorkel equipment.

Where do you pick up?

From any resort in Marsa Alam, and it's included in the price. Send us your hotel name and we'll confirm the pickup time.

I've never snorkeled before. Can I still join?

No problem. Before we go in, Meko shows you on the beach how to use the mask and snorkel, and stays with you in the water.

Send your hotel and travel dates. You'll get availability and a clear price, usually within two hours.
