The Great Island Tour

The Great Island Tour is a 2 weeks safari taking you to the best dive sites in the Red Sea! Departing from Hurghada, the boat will sail south and visit the sites around the Brother Islands, Daedalus Reef, Rocky Island and Zabargad. The Brother Islands are two undersea mountain pinnacles rising from the depths of the abyss located about 60 miles offshore from El Quesir. Part of the Marine Park Islands National Park, these islands offer stunning wall diving, with the walls being covered in soft corals and forests of gorgonians creating a kaleidoscope of ever changing colours. They attract a diverse array of marine species and large pelagic. Large tuna, barracudas, jacks and snappers cruise in the blue accompanied by occasional hammerheads, silky and oceanic white tip sharks and mantas. Even the rare thresher shark can sometimes be found there. Sightings of the grey reef sharks are almost guaranteed on the north and south plateau of Small Brother.

The Daedalus Reef is a huge reef formation that lying at about 180 km south of Brother Islands. The reef is surrounded by a sheer wall all around, featuring a plateau in its southern side that goes from 30 metres beside the reef to 40 metres on the edge of the drop-off. When the weather is good a drift dive along one of reef side is possible. Reef and hammerhead sharks are regular encounters along with other marine life.

Rocky Island is a fringing reef that circles the entire perimeter of the island and drops steeply to an amazing depth. The constant currents flowing year round favour the growth of all different kinds of life in a continuous struggle for a place on the reef. The walls are absolutely covered with the most beautiful soft corals as well as gorgonias, fans, sponges and black coral trees.

The Island of Zabargad is a superb dive spot. Here you can dive along walls, hover over drop offs or dive slowly in the shallow area, watching the fish and admire the coral garden.
