Island hopping

  • 1 Day
  • Full day

A full day on the water from Umluj. You are collected from your hotel, taken to the boat and spend the day moving between the offshore islands, stopping to swim in the shallows and going ashore where the sand allows. Lunch is served on board and there is shade on deck between stops.

The islands sit off the Red Sea coast, which runs for more than 1,700 kilometres along the western side of the country. If you are working your way down that coast, Yanbu is another base for days on the water.
