Nice experience but not as expected
Had a very enjoyable private Christmas motorboat ride with my kids, led by Captain Moustafa Katkoot. The boat was great, we went snorkeling and saw dolphins, at about half the price our hotel was charging. However, a few things that customers should know:
1 - the excursion was advertised as “swimming with dolphins”. We did see several dolphins from our boat, but because there were lots of other boats around, were not able to swim with them for safety reasons. This was a big disappointment as we were really looking forward to being in the water with them.
2 - we were not told to bring our own towels from the hotel, and had to go back and get them. Be sure to bring them, especially during winter, as it gets windy and cold!
3 - the snorkeling equipment was not great - did not size my kids so there weren’t enough fins, and several of the masks were leaking. Suggest fitting equipment BEFORE leaving the marina.
4 - the snorkeling was very shallow and not much to see… I know there are much better corals in this area so was disappointed in what we saw. Also, a large part of the coral we went to was dead.
In summary, the overall experience was pleasant and fun for the family, but not what I was expecting in terms of the underwater portion.

Finally saw dolphins!!!
We have come to Hurghada 3 times before today and had amazing trips. Today was our 4th time and we finally got to see dolphins. It was amazing. We loved swimming at the coral. It was a great trip. The boat was a great size for 3 of us to enjoy and easily get in and out. We had a blast and would do it again.

Geweldige service
Had een geweldige ervaring. Ze hebben erg hun best gedaan om ons dolfijnen te laten zien en dat is gelukt. Ze zorgden heel goed voor ons en zorgden ervoor dat we plezier hadden. Fahad en Lofty waren zeer professioneel en hielpen ons een geweldige tijd te hebben.

A beautiful experience on the Red Sea
I had an amazing experience on the Red Sea with Egypt boats the service they provided was very professional and friendly. We got up close and personal with Dolfins for me that was a beautiful experience being that close to dolfins in there natural habitat. We snorkel in the beautiful crystal clear waters seeing many beautiful fish and corals, simply mind blowing. The captain of the boat was friendly funny and knowledgeable guy making the experience a memorable one, I will return one day and use Egypt boats again.

Unreal experience
So worth it!! Best part was swimming with dolphins in the wild - we loved it. The snorkelling spots and beaches on the tour were great as well! Couldn’t recommend it enough.

Great experience!
We had an amazing trip in Hurghada and everything was arranged for us exactly the way we wanted. We were picked up in El Gouna with a private car and from the price of the pick up to the price of the trip everything was more than fair. We truly had an amazing experience and would recommend it to everyone.

An unforgettable day on the Red Sea!
It was a beautiful day! Thank you for everything.
Schedule:
- Been contacted by the organizer if a transfer is needed and from which place the trip starts.
- Arrived a little early, but was no problem and the Capitan was already on site.
- I have expressed the desire that we want to fish later, thereupon fresh squid were obtained as bait.
- First stop at Abu Minqar (picture included), just gorgeous.
- Second stop was for snorkeling, nice and quiet without 10000 tourists.
- Third stop was also for snorkeling very quiet and beautiful, have kept a lookout for dolphins on the way, unfortunately had no luck.
- Fourth and fifth stop were for fishing, Mustafa took out one fish after another and gave us good tips. Two of 4 people even caught a fish as a result.
On the way back we could enjoy one of the most beautiful sunsets we have seen (picture included).
Thank you very much for this great day!
