TL;DR
Bus tours to Ras Mohammed cost $15–$30, yacht tours $25–$40 per person. Transfer, entrance fees, and a Russian-speaking guide are included.
An individual (non-group) land tour called 'The Whole Ras Mohammed' is available: hotel pickup at 08:00 (later on request), return by 16:00 (park closing time), unlimited duration. Itinerary includes a clifftop photo spot, stone desert gate, coastal area with trees growing in salt water, a salt lake for swimming, three snorkeling stops (including a deeper zone with richer coral), the Earth's crust fault, the reserve's highest viewpoint with a telescope, a tea/coffee break, and lunch available for an extra fee. Guide accompanies guests on land and in water with a life ring; photos/videos on guests' own phones are free. Price not stated.
One commenter recommends going individually by land rather than on a bus tour, noting that in their opinion the best reef is near the panoramic viewpoint, and standard bus tours don't take visitors there for swimming.
The 'Egyptian Maldives' yacht tour runs 08:00–17:00 and covers Ras Mohammed Reserve, Golden Bay snorkeling, open-sea coral reef, one hour at White Island, and an all-you-can-eat buffet lunch with unlimited drinks on board. Seafood costs an extra $5. Masks, fins, and life vest are $5 each; diving is an optional add-on for $15. Price: $40 adults, $25 children 6–10, under 5 free. Suitable for pregnant women.
Daily bus tour to Ras Mohammed from Sharm el-Sheikh includes: entry through the iconic shark-shaped gates, land sightseeing, panoramic viewpoint over the Gulf of Aqaba and Suez Gulf, Earth's crust fault, Magic Lake (swimming allowed), and snorkeling at the reserve beach with coral and fish. Swimming is only permitted in life vests — rental is $5 each. Masks and snorkels available for hire. Included: air-conditioned transfer, entrance fees, Russian-speaking guide. Price: $30 adults, $15 children 7–11, under 5 free.
