As a local specialist tour operator, Erinine Tour takes care of all the details of your trip so you can fully immerse yourself in this untouched marine paradise.
Discover the Dahlak Islands in the Red Sea: A Fishing and Diving Paradise
Situated in the Red Sea, the Dahlak Island Archipelago boasts 126 unspoiled islands just off the Eritrean coast. Asmara is Eritrea’s vibrant capital, from where you’ll take a 3.5-hour road trip to the historic coastal gem of Massawa. Once in Massawa, set sail on an adventure into the Red Sea. The Dahlak Islands offer some of the world’s most exceptional diving and fishing opportunities amidst untouched landscapes. Encounter stingrays, dolphins, manta rays, sharks, turtles, and elusive dugongs as you explore the crystal-clear waters. There are also over 100 bird species gracing these desert islands. Explore the beautiful beaches and discover over 300 fish species among the vibrant coral reefs and historic shipwrecks, including sunken Italian World War II vessels.
Exclusive Island Experiences
For the intrepid traveler seeking more, Erinine Tour recommends two options for groups of 2-12 adventurers:
- A 2-night Massawa and Dahlak Archipelago Discovery Tour
- An extraordinary 8-day expedition to the remote and stunning Dahlak Islands.
Both these journeys are tailor-made for fishing, snorkeling, and diving enthusiasts.
Accommodation on the islands is in a mobile tented camp with comfortable igloo tents, shared bathroom facilities, and a fully catered outdoor camp kitchen.
Best time to visit: From March to June, coinciding with the manta ray season.
While in Eritrea, don’t miss the chance to explore the 20th-century architectural wonders of Asmara, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
