Note

Please note: This tour involves an extensive amount of activity and a minimal amount of walking for approximately 109 yards (about 100 meters), at times over uneven and sandy surfaces, with a few steps to negotiate to get on/off the coach, and three steps to negotiate to embark/disembark the boat and maneuver in/out of the boat. This tour is recommended for active guests who are in good physical condition, and able to swim, snorkel, and kayak in water over their head. Guests must walk in waist-deep water to disembark the boat. This tour is not suitable for pregnant guests, guest with neck and/or back problems, guests with heart and/or respiratory conditions, guests prone to seasickness, guests with limited mobility, and guests who utilize a wheelchair. Guests are advised to wear a swimsuit under a cover-up with water shoes, and bring sun protection, a towel, change of clothing, bottled water, and Saudi Arabian Riyals or credit cards for purchases from the ship. Conservative clothing is required during the transfer to/from the port to the marina. Please dress conservatively when going ashore; women always need to wear modest and keep shoulders and knees covered. Proper attire is required to enter holy or religious sites; shorts and bare shoulders are not permitted. As a rule, women should never wear anything remotely revealing (miniskirts, shorts, capris, beachwear, and sleeveless or low-cut tops), and men should always wear shirts and trousers in public. Infrastructure in Jeddah may be basic, and local conditions may be challenging; coaches, guides, hotels, restaurants, equipment, and services are the best-available in the area, but may not be up to the standards of those found at other ports. Therefore, we urge flexibility and understanding as we visit unique, less touristic destinations; vehicles and guides are brought in from the whole region. Local authorities might check again your passport, as well as the border number you received at the entrance in the country during the excursion; this might require some waiting time. There are changing facilities on board the boat. Waterproof cameras are highly-recommended. Although frequently encountered on this type of tour, fish and marine life sightings are not guaranteed. Operation of this tour is subject to weather conditions. The tour sequence may vary.
