Awesome!
This was one of the best days ever! Our hotel was in Port Ghalib so it was a really long way (3 hours per bus and about 2,5 hours per boat) but it was absolutely worth it. We were picked up and didn't have to worry about anything else for the day. The crew was super nice, helped everyone with their snorkeling stuff and gave out suitable equipment when you had nothing yourself. Lunch and beverages are provided. We were able to see the dolphins several times when we were in the water. Can 100% recommend!

Once in a lifetime
A unique experience. We were very lucky, and on the second day there was a very large school of dolphins on the reef early in the morning. As we were a very small group with only eleven snorkeling, the mood was extremely relaxed, and we could snorkel/drift for a long time just a few inches away or even in the middle of the school. Dolphins just a few inches away, in front of you, behind you, on either side. The less movement of us, the closer they got. Mustafa was a great host, talking on board with the crew at eye level and not just the standard tourist fun. Snorkel guides and photographer also super professional! Marsa Waves also shuts down the generator at night, which I have experienced differently. Less noise, smell and better for the environment! We'll be back!

Once in a lifetime
Sataya Overnight, not my first time.
First day no dolphins, everyone was sad. Second day: 80 dolphins, they were quiet and allowed us snorklers to dive within their group, as long as we made no big movements.
40 dolphins on your right, 30 on your left, just inches away, looking at you: Once in a lifetime. We were pumped with adrenaline after that.
What made the tour with Marsa Waves special:
- they allow you to swim from the boat at any time (huuuge plus)
- they turn out the generator at night, so no noise, no light disturbance when watching the stars, better for environment
-Snorkeling guides were attentive and friendly
Finally: Mustafa as Lead-Guide was very good and has potential to become an actual host. He was professional, kept us well informed and made conversation that actually deserves that name. So you do not feel like a tourist with an IQ of 80, kept happy with a few childish jokes - you rather feel like a respected person. That was unusual and very nice.

The magic of swimming with dolphins!
An excursion not to be missed!!! a night on the boat very comfortable and dolphins by the dozens!....what emotions, swimming with them in peace!
The staff of the boat cared for little, even if we only had German fellow passengers, it did not alter this moment full of magic. You can also go diving even in initiation, very kind guides!

Unforgettable experience
It has been an unforgettable experience! We could see the dolphins and although there were many people, the visibility was very good! The whole team was very professional and helped us throughout the tour! The food was also great!

Great Experience
The trip from our Resort to get to the little harbour where our boat sailed took an hour, the same coming back, really an effort.
But the rest has been wonderful: our boat was great and new, the staff gently, and the trip to Sataya was smooth, whith a quite sea: you could have coffee water and soft drink whenever you want: i took a sunbathe staying lying down at the front seat and listening music.
Then we arrived at Sataya together with other 5 boats of the same kind, so you'll be in the water with many other people, obviously you're not alone.
Using a tender we've been left at the middle of this incredible circle reef and we enjoied a long bath, where we've found several groups of Dolphins, passing at different distance every time, but often very close, and it's a dream..
Then the tender pick you up to return to your Boat, and have another snorkeling at the beautiful reef. It's time for lunch, and in the meanwhile you can have other bath if you want.
Coming back the sea was not as calm as the first trip, with waves high till 7 meters, but the boat was solid, and no worries at all for me, i enjoied a lot this experience too.

An incredible experience.
The excursion to Sataya Dolphin House was one of the most exciting experiences of my life. Swimming surrounded by dolphins was amazing. The boat trip is quite long but it is absolutely worth it.
The whole Marsa Waves team was super helpful and professional. Also pleasant lunch on board the ship.
I recommend this excursion to everyone!
