Amazing snorkeling

Wonderful experience, pick up on time fixed the day before on WhatsApp (as depends on the hotels of the other participants). We did snorkeling in 2 different places and 3 different spots, we saw a sea cow playing with a turtle, many turtles and wonderful corals and fishes. Recommended!

A unique experience with great guides and a beautiful underwater world

The pickup went smoothly—the guide from the Diving-Star diving school (highly recommended) welcomed us very warmly. Then we headed straight to the boat and on to our first destination. Marsa Mubarak had everything you could hope for. A manatee and sea turtles just a meter away. Marsa Shouna also has an impressive underwater world to offer. At the end, we even got to go in the water a third time with goggles and a snorkel. The food was plentiful, and there was something for everyone. I’d give it 6 stars if I could. Thanks to the crew!

Great experience, but unfortunately much too crowded.

The pickup was punctual, the guides friendly, attentive, and very concerned about safety. The food was also good. Sighting the manatee and the turtles was naturally the highlight. However, one should know that a great many people are snorkeling on-site at the same time. Because of this, snorkeling is not very relaxing and is sometimes very chaotic. For a guide, we also felt the group size was significantly too large, so you can quickly lose track. We personally would therefore not book the excursion again – though mainly because of the large crowd of people on-site, for which the provider itself can naturally only do so much.

Amazing tour - but potentially not what you think!

Amazing experience and the guides were truly fantastic. However there are quite a few people on the boat (and all the other boats that you meet up with); you must snorkel in a large group the whole time, which for me who is a confident swimmer was a little frustrating. Also the dugongs space was definitely not respected, probably should be limits on people around it or potentially a better briefing about how to act and approach wildlife. That being said we did see one and some turtles, which was quite beautiful!

Amazing

Beautiful experience. The bus taking us from the hotel was very on time. The personal was very kind and approachable, and helped us a lot in case of problems. The atmosphere on the boat was professional and good for resting and having fun in safety. We saw both a Sea cow and a lot of turtles, and the Coral reef was very pretty. There weren't too many people on the boat, making the whole trip comfortable and allowing go relax. Absolutely recommended, the staff and guides make this a must-do experience in Marsa Alam!

Highly recommended

It was a very nice, very well-organized excursion. There were 2 stops. At the first one, we were able to observe turtles and a manatee; at the second stop, we snorkeled at the reef. The guides took their job very seriously, and the supervision was also very good during the diving. As far as I noticed, everyone also enjoyed the food. Thanks to the team for the nice excursion.

Good

Top guides, good value for money, a little more time to snorkel alone would have been even better.
