This boat trip was the highlight of our vacation
We had a great time, Albert was always quick to respond to any inquiries we had and was very kind and understanding. The boat itself was fantastic and Amr and Mostafa were very enthusiastic and helpful. Unfortunately, there weren’t many dolphins that day but they kept trying to find us some dolphins and when we finally spotted two, they did everything they could to catch up with them and give us the best experience, we got to swim and snorkel with them in the end which was lovely! Many thanks to Albert and his great team for a very memorable experience!

Altamente recomendado.
Muchas gracias. Estoy muy contento de haber reservado la lancha privada con usted. Fue una experiencia increíble. De hecho, tuvimos que nadar con los delfines, y bucear sobre el arrecife de coral será un recuerdo que tengo en mi corazón. Los dos miembros de la tripulación fueron absolutamente increíbles. Realmente recomiendo este viaje. Usted no será decepcionado.

La única forma real de nadar con estos maravillosos animales
Acabamos de regresar de una semana relajante en Hurghada. Solo reservamos el 1 viaje a mitad de nuestras vacaciones con barcos de Egipto después de leer algunas de las críticas aquí. WOW sin duda no nos decepcionó!
Nos gusta que otros hayan organizado el viaje directamente con Albert por WhatsApp una semana antes de que saliéramos del Reino Unido. Enumeró el itinerario de acuerdo con nuestra solicitud y también organizó un traslado privado desde nuestro hotel al puerto deportivo de Hurghada y de regreso a un costo adicional razonable. El conductor apareció y fue muy cortés y profesional al permitirnos detenernos brevemente para tomar una foto al pasar algunos paisajes fantásticos en nuestro camino hacia y desde el puerto deportivo.
El viaje consistió en una visita a la infame Dolphin House, donde pasamos 45 minutos aprovechando estar en un bote más pequeño en comparación con los otros en el sitio. Pudimos adelantarnos a una manada de delfines, para luego saltar al mar y verlos pasar a corta distancia (a menos de 2 metros de distancia en algunos puntos) Claramente una ventaja sobre los otros barcos más grandes. Nuestro vecino en nuestro hotel optó por uno de los viajes más convencionales en un bote más grande y, por lo que puedo deducir, no obtuvo la mitad de la experiencia que tuvimos, así que vale la pena gastar un poco más si no está preocupado por el almuerzo .
Esto fue seguido por una breve visita a un arrecife cercano donde pasamos otros 45 minutos más o menos buceando. Los muchachos saltaron con nosotros y nos condujeron a través del arrecife señalando criaturas de interés y alimentando a mano algunos de los peces tropicales que era bueno ver.
Luego, a una mini franja perfecta de arena blanca y aguas turquesas durante la marea baja, a poca distancia de la isla de Abu Minqar. Grandes oportunidades para tomar fotos aquí, y uno de los muchachos organizó amablemente una pequeña sesión de fotos para nosotros dos, lo cual fue divertido.
Luego, para terminar nuestro viaje, nos ataron a un viejo naufragio, donde obtuvimos algunas fotos fantásticas mientras buceábamos en el sitio.
En general, un día fantástico y, sin duda, lo más destacado de nuestras vacaciones a pesar de dejar el complejo hotelero por este día. Un agradecimiento especial a los chicos del barco que fueron entretenidos, educados y divertidos durante las 4 horas. Incluso tuvieron la amabilidad de realizar una búsqueda del chaleco salvavidas de mi pareja que ella olvidó atar e inevitablemente se fue mientras viajaba al naufragio. Aunque no encontramos el chaleco, ¡fue bueno para ambos tomarse un tiempo fuera de nuestro horario para buscarlo hasta aceptar que se perdió en el Mar de Lectura!
Gran viaje, buena relación calidad-precio. Sin duda volveremos a reservar si decidimos volver a visitar Hurghada en el futuro.
Gracias.

¡¡Un día para recordar!!
¡Dejaré que las fotos hablen por si mismas! !
Excelente viaje con Albert
Arreglé todo antes de irme de vacaciones a través de WhatsApp, ¡excelente!
Recogido de nuestro hotel en el punto, gran traslado al puerto deportivo y luego comenzó la diversión.
Nuestro capitán fue excelente: encontramos una enorme manada de delfines después de unos 30 minutos. Nadamos con ellos 2 o 3 veces solo nosotros cuatro (yo, mi esposa, mi hija 16 y mi hijo 12).
También nadamos con una segunda cápsula que todos los otros barcos habían encontrado, no se compara en lo más mínimo, por favor, si quieres hacer esto, paga el extra y ve con Albert por recuerdos que durarán toda la vida.
Luego hicimos snorkel en un arrecife muy bonito, luego visitamos un hermoso banco de arena y finalmente un snorkel sorpresa en un naufragio.
Planeando visitar a Sahl Hasheesh el próximo año con nuestra hija mayor. ¡Solo espero que Albert nos lleve a cinco de nosotros a la lancha rápida!

Fantastic day out, great guide
The whole half day was great. Albert, our guide is so patient and informative on what to do. We had never snorkelled from a small boat before, but Albert was excellent in showing us how. The pilot Mustafa knew the waters extremely well, and was fantastic at his work. I would definitely recommend to people wanting their own private snorkelling trip. The day we went, only one dolphin was around, but that's the nature of the wildlife. We took are own masks, but they are also provided if needed. Great day out, do this if you can!

The best way to view dolphins!!
We were collected from our hotel...on time and met Albert at the marina. Quite a few people had opted to go on the big boats with large numbers of people...don't try this option...with the smaller private speed boat we could be dropped off ahead of the dolphins and they swam past us...playing and interacting with us...without us causing them any stress...Albert and the driver were great and really helped us have a great experience..tailored to our needs...the highlight of our time spent in Hurghada...

Truly Amazing Experience
Albert made sure every step of our tour was explained to us so we didn’t have to worry about a thing!
The pick up driver arrived early to meet us and Albert was waiting at the marina to take us to the boat.
Our comfort was a top priority and nothing was to much trouble.
Unfortunately the dolphins decided not to make an appearance which is disappointing but wild life can be unpredictable!
Albert was great he was genuinely as disappointed as us and more than made up for lack of dolphins by taking us to extra snorkelling places with even a ship wreck!! Which was awesome!!!!!
I can 100% recommend this tour from beginning to end it was an incredible experience one that we will definitely take again on our next trip to Hurghada!
Thanks Albert and Team your amazing

A MILLION STARS ISN’T ENOUGH!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️!! Private is the ONLY way to go!
I booked to go on this trip on my daughter’s 21st birthday with myself and my younger son because I wanted us to do something special on her special day, and wow I wasn’t disappointed!!
We had the pleasure, and privilege, of swimming with approximately 11 wild dolphins! Well my son and daughter did because I wasn’t confident with putting my face in the water and swimming quickly so I stayed on the boat after our 2nd jump, but I still wasn’t disappointed because the driver of the boat sped away and got some of the dolphins to play, racing the speedboat, just so I didn’t miss out! OMG that was INCREDIBLE!!!
We also went snorkelling... for this I forced myself to face my fears! And WOW am I glad I did! I now have a new passion!!
Our guide Albert was simply amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and he’s such a lovely guy.... and he knows what he’s doing and talking about! When we first reached Dolphin House there was only one young dolphin, and although it was still a great experience we couldn’t help but feel slightly disappointed, although we were perfectly aware it wasn’t 100% guaranteed because these are truly wild dolphins, so it’s their choice if they want to come and play, not ours! But I could tell Albert felt somewhat disappointed too. He suggested we go snorkelling then try again....that’s when we had 11 or so dolphins in the water with us!
I can’t stress or recommend enough that you do this trip privately. Whilst we were out we saw other bigger groups of 20+ people, some of which were better swimmers than others, so only some would’ve had an up close experience. The beauty of going privately is that you are in a smaller and quicker boat! Remember these are wild dolphins so will swim and change direction whenever they want! By being in a smaller speedboat you too can chop and change direction! Giving you a MUCH better chance of having an up close experience with these beautiful, magical creatures.
I thought going to see The Great Pyramids was going to be the highlight of our time in Egypt, but no, our trip with Albert is something I will treasure for the rest of my life 😊🥰.
Please excuse the quality of the photos, I was having too much of an amazing time to waste my time with a phone camera, I was busy experiencing sheer wonder!!

Amazing day!!!
A fantastic experience. There aren't many photos because mostly we were in the water with the dolphins.
I wasn't sure at first, there were lots of big boats around with too many people but actually I was not disappointed The whole point of the private boat was to be away from the crowds and that's exactly what happened,as you can see when we got away past the big boats we were able to get really close to the dolphins and swim with them just the few of us on the private boat.
The coral reef was fantastic too but the dolphins made the day.
Albert, our guide, and the ships captain were amazing at spotting them and dropping us just ahead so they came to us. I was almost nose to nose with one at one point. Just amazing to see them wild and free.
Thank you Albert!!!!
