Tobia Island Safaga: Shallow Reefs & the Tobia Soraya Dive Site
Tobia Island lies off Safaga, south of Hurghada. Small Bianca Island sits at its northern end, and to the south a line of small reefs and coral pinnacles leads to the Tobia Soraya dive site.
It is the natural choice for guests staying in Safaga or Soma Bay. If you are staying there, tell us on WhatsApp — we arrange snorkel and dive days from Safaga on request.
Where is Tobia Island?
The island lies off the coast of Safaga, about an hour's drive south of Hurghada. Boats leave from Safaga, so the trip is best for guests staying in Safaga or Soma Bay.
What you'll see
- Shallow, sheltered water around the island, good for snorkelers
- A chain of small reefs and coral pinnacles to the south
- The Tobia Soraya dive site at the end of the reef chain
Who is it for?
Snorkelers and beginner divers enjoy the sheltered shallows; certified divers explore the pinnacles of the reef chain. Like every boat trip, the exact route depends on wind and sea conditions on the day.
