Great tour to the dolphins
Super tour to the Delphin House which can be better almost not organized. The pick-up time is very early (Marsa Alam JAZ Resort 05:00 - travel time by minibus a distance of about 3h, by ship another 2.5h )only definitely worth it. The dolphins come in larger groups several times during the period of stay. So a sifting is almost guaranteed. ATTENTION: People who are not seaworthy should take a close look at the weather (especially the wind and waves) beforehand. We had about 2m when driving out and about 3m waves when driving back and more than half of the tourists lay flat.

Dolphin hunting
We were horrified to realize what we signed up for. The excursion is a mass tourism handling, which is all about presenting far too many people on far too many boats, dolphins. The poor animals are virtually chased by the guides on the dinghies so that several groups of people can jump into the water at the same time to swim with the dolphins. Many snorkel and swim without regard to losses. Many cannot snorkel or operate the fins they wear on their feet. For the perfect photo, they then huddle close to the animals. We drove again with an incredibly bad conscience and are angry that we fell for the stories of our guide. We should have known better, and hope to save others from having the same experience. We would never have booked this trip if we had known in advance how shamelessly far too many people are being carted on large boats to then hunt dolphins in smaller boats.

Everything great, gladly again!
Booking has worked uncomplicated. We were picked up on time, transfer to the port worked out well. We got exactly what we had booked / expected. On board is safety First , which is very commendable. The number of people on the ship is fine, as they snorkel groups even significantly smaller are all good. We could already see dolphins on the way out and also snorkel with them on site. Food was delicious, plentiful and worked out well - there are also drinks available all the time. The tour guide was extremely friendly, speaks many languages, even after the tip still very accommodating :) As a tip for all those who get seasick easily: take pills before driving - if you don't have one with you, the guide has also offered me some directly, so that's great too!

Great organization team, bad experience
The organization and the team was great. The experience not. We saw dolphins and swam with them, but there was like 100 people in the water going the same direction. I felt like in a public pool. The coral was better but nothing special, the one in our hotel is comparable. 1 hour drive by car, 2 hours by boat and then the same back

All in all a nice but also strenuous trip
It was a very interesting excursion and the numerous Define were also visible on the reef after a short trip with a rubber boat, although several times only briefly. Several ships were moored on the reef with numerous guests who probably all wanted to see dolphins. At least the dolphins didn't seem to mind as they are faster anyway. At the same mooring you could snorkel for 30 minutes on the beautiful reef with clear water. Our trip started at 3:50am in El Qusier and we were back around 7pm. In the water we were about 1h in good weather. It should be noted that the minibus journey to the port Hamata is quite long (in our case 3.5h) and the subsequent boat trip takes another good 2h each way, which then becomes quite a challenge in seas and fresh wind. Here it is recommended to have something warming to cover. The boat was well staffed with 35 guests from different tour groups and made a good external impression. The crew was nice and helpful and already has a certain routine here. Note that the "National Park Fee" OnTop is collected on the boat and Dollar is probably rather reluctant to be seen. All in all, it was a beautiful but also exhausting day.
