Bayada Island Tour

The Bayada Island Tour is a half-day trip from Jeddah, running either 6 am to 12 pm or 12 pm to 6 pm, built around a boat cruise to Bayada Island, swimming and a donut boat ride, with hotel pickup and drop-off available on the option you choose.

You can book this with private transfers, or without transfers if you prefer to make your own way there. Where your chosen option includes a transfer, it collects you from your hotel or another location in Jeddah, takes you to Ahlam Marina and brings you back once the day is done, so both legs are arranged for you. The boat itself leaves from Ahlam Marina for the crossing to the island.

Cruise to Bayada Island

Once you board at Ahlam Marina, the boat cruises out toward Bayada Island, giving you views of the Red Sea along the way. The water around the island is calm and clear, with coral reefs visible beneath the surface, and the boat gives you a good look at the coastline before you settle in for the activities. The crossing itself is a relaxed start to the day rather than a rushed transfer.

Swimming and water activities

Once anchored, you can swim in the water around the island, take a turn on a donut boat ride, or stay on the boat deck to work on a tan. Complimentary drinking water is available throughout the day to keep you hydrated between activities, and there is no set order to follow, so you can move between swimming, the donut boat and simply relaxing as you like.

Lunch and the return trip

Lunch is served as part of the day before the boat heads back to Ahlam Marina, where the day ends. On options that include a transfer, your driver is waiting there for the return trip into Jeddah.

Rayna Tours' own team manages the cruise and, on options that include them, the transfers both ways, so the day is arranged for you, with support available if your plans change beforehand.
