There are changing rooms and showers there. Then had lunch on the boat. Then went off to turtle beach where we saw turtles. The sandy beach is amazing, so you will need a spare costume if you want to swim in the sea. There is a place to eat and drink on the beach and also changing rooms and showers. You see kings tombs cut out in the rock. The boat went slowly past so you could take photos. Then a 2-hour boat trip back to the coach then an hour journey back to our hotel. So out from 8.15 to 6.30. So, a long day! You can buy drinks on the boat and a photo of you in the mud bath. It’s very well priced, too.” - Reviewed on 2024-09-25
