Soma Bay: a quieter Red Sea base—best with fewer, higher-impact excursions. Soma Bay is ideal for travellers who value calm, comfort, and resort time. That means your excursion strategy should be different: instead of filling your week with activities, pick one strong reef day and one relaxed beach/island day, then keep the rest of your schedule light. You’ll enjoy the Red Sea more—and you won’t feel like you’re “always leaving the hotel.”

Amon Travel arranges Soma Bay excursions primarily as private day trips, with small-group options where they genuinely add value. We coordinate hotel pickup and support you during booked services with 24/7 assistance.

Reef snorkeling boat trip (high-impact sea day)

Designed around water time and reef stops—best choice if you want to “see the Red Sea properly” in one day.

Island beach day (relax-focused)

A softer day with beach atmosphere and downtime—perfect for balancing a snorkeling day.

Diving day trip (level-based)

A dedicated marine day for divers—matched to your experience level where availability allows.

Desert safari (quad/buggy) (optional contrast day)

A great change of scenery—best placed mid-week with a lighter day after.

Bigger day trips from Soma Bay (only if it’s a priority)
