First coral reefs <3 - That was a very windy day but it was still warm enough inside of the water to snorkel or swim. We didn't take a dive on this tour. I enjoyed coral reefs a lot, they are captivating! The boat was nice, spacious enough, the goup wasn't too big. Lunch was basic, soft drinks were availble throughout all time of the tour. Thank you!

Very good value and reliable trip - So impressed at this trip. Picked up on time and with clear communication, did some breathtaking snorkeling (with a not too busy boat), and had a whole day experience at a very good price. Recommended and would do it again!

Good trip - especially the diving. - Most memorable aspect was diving, which I added as an extra whilst aboard the boat. We dived as a group of 4, including an instructor from the diving company. It was also good to see coastal areas including Naama Bay, as we motored past. There didn't seem to be as many fish as in Ras Mhd, though.

Unmissable excursion, highly recommended! - Organization of Book tour Egypt impeccable! From start to finish.
Starting from Sharm Harbour, you sail to Tiran Island; the excursion includes 3 stops for snorkeling, in three places where the reef is very beautiful and with a wide variety of fish (special mention for Gordon Reef); these are also much less "crowded" areas than Ras Mohammed, where you can therefore swim with more tranquility and without too many people nearby.
During the day it is also possible to do a diving test, going down to about 8/10 meters, always under the supervision of a diving instructor (in our case Mustafà , very prepared and kind); ideal also for those who are at the first experience with the tank.
Special mention for the crew and instructors of Barrag 2; all very nice and engaging, as well as very prepared.

Snorkeling and diving at Gordon reef - We organized this excursion together with 3 other excursions with the guys of book tour Egypt and we had a great time.
I would like to give a special mention to the impeccable and precise organization, since you arrive in Sharm they regularly write you messages on WhatsApp in Italian to keep you updated on everything, from the pick-up time at your hotel to remember documents to bring or possibly not to bring. Also during the day they write to you to know if everything is going well or if they can solve any problems encountered (never had fortunately, everything perfect).
The drivers they rely on are punctual and very competent.
For this specific excursion the guys of the Dive who accompanied us by boat were very kind and in particular Mustafà the diver who followed me in my first accompanied dive that will remain a beautiful memory of this holiday. In addition to speaking perfect Italian he was really kind and helpful.
During the boat trip in addition to diving if you know how to swim well it is possible to do free snorkeling alone while remaining in the vicinity of the boat, in case instead of people who do not know how to swim or have difficulties there are always 2 snorkel instructors in the water with a lifebuoy that you can cling to to get carried around by them and see the wonderful coral reef.
I have seen people who are really happy to have been able to do this experience despite not knowing how to swim.
On board the boats there are independent photographers not related to the agency to take pictures on the boat or for those underwater if one decides to do it, they are not insistent and as for the diving photos I took are really professional and of excellent quality.
Speaking specifically instead of the excursion to the island of Tiran I must say that as a coral reef and snorkeling spots I liked it much more than that of ras Mohamed (which remains a beautiful area anyway).
The island is not Egyptian territory so you can not get too close, starting from the port you get to the Gordon reef (beautiful large reef off the island with a wreck that emerges on the surface to be the background) then returning to the port you stop in other really beautiful coastal reefs.
Lunch on board was delicious with generous portions that you can take back as much as you want. (Rice, pasta, chicken cutlet, seasoned vegetable mix, meatballs) Water and soft drinks such as Coke or Sprite are available throughout the day.
Truly a wonderful experience that I recommend to everyone. Of 7 days spent in Sharm we stayed outside the hotel for 4 and they were the best days of the holiday.

Tiran island boat trip - A great trip for snorkeling and diving. I travelled alone with a stick to aid my walking the staff and crew were fantastic and helped me throughout the day into and out of the water, getting my buffet lunch, and constantly checking that I was comfortable and ok. I highly recommend this trip and particularly Zane and his people. 10/10 fabulous day.

Perfect excursion - We were picked up on time, the organization in the overcrowded port was perfect and on the boat be the captain that the whole team helped us have a great day. They organized dives for those who wanted and dived for those who wanted. Always watching everyone and helping us.

Red Sea Snorkelling Amazing - The experience was very good. The snorkellling and diving was excellent. My kids had a terrific time swimming amongst the reefs. The views are stunning. Well worth the experience.
The food was only served at 3pm, and since we had been picked up at 8am we were very hungry, but you can carry snacks onto boat. Suggest you do that. We were not aware we could.

Nice people and boat, good value, don’t bother with the diving. - The boat and people were very good, it’s a great value day for the money.
The snorkelling was also great, even with choppy water.
The diving you kid £25 extra for was not great, the eqpt was old and didn’t fit properly, so I had soapy water around my nose constantly. They also get to spend a lot of the time you’re down there posing for photos. So a nice trip overall, but the diving left a bad taste.
