The Obhur Red Sea snorkel cruise is a half-day shared boat trip from Jeddah's Obhur Creek with guided reef snorkelling and gear included, from about SAR 150 per person; premium Bayada Island trips cost SAR 350-400.
Boats depart the Obhur Creek marinas north of Jeddah for calm, clear water and easy reef snorkelling — some trips head to the white sandbanks of Bayada Island, nicknamed the Maldives of Jeddah. Snorkel gear, life jackets and an onboard guide are typically included, and the shallow reefs suit first-timers and children. No diving certification needed.
