Worth doing - What a beautiful day. And what a nice staff. Delicious smuggled. But well, the old man has to be 3 he's conditionally not 40 anymore.
Nevertheless had a wonderful day.

UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE!!! - We carried out the 5 hour excursion with dinner on board on a luxury yacht docked in the turtle bay, admiring a breathtaking sunset!!!!!
We were picked up from the village where we were staying at 12.30 (1 hour by bus to get to Port Ghalib) and returned at about 21:15, after taking an autonomous walk to Port Ghalib. There were two snorkeling outings of about an hour each: one to observe the coral reef along the reef, the other to dive in the turtle bay, and if you were lucky, you could observe the dugong!
We swam together with the sea turtles and it was a unique experience!!!
We were followed by Ahmed in the village who was very kind and helpful for all the doubts and questions we put to him!!!
Recommendation to do this experience to anyone at least once in a lifetime!! 💝

Great boat trip - It was a perfectly organized trip. We saw big turtles and lots of colorful fish. The whole team on the ship was very attentive and friendly. There was even a special tour on the rubber dinghy.

A dive into the past....and underwater!! - An unmissable excursion to absolutely do, to admire the coral reef, colorful fish and sea turtles, the true stars of the day: the most photographed and sought after. An ancient and modern experience between old symbolism and new truths. Well done in enhancing the beauty of the Red Sea and making it accessible to everyone.

Super! - Perfect! We were so exited from the sea underworld! Snorkeling was awesome. Tasty food and nice staff!

An unforgettable experience - Great people, very nice and competent crew that made us feel very welcome. They were shouting whenever they spotted dolphins or turtles to let everyone see them. Very helpful when I felt sea sick, gave me medicine. The food was nice( a way too big spaghetti with meat or fish with rice). The costumes were fun. It's luck to have calm sea and see the marine life.

Absolute rip-off - Unfortunately, the tour was an absolute failure. It was obviously not about the experience of nature, but only about getting as much money out of the tourists as possible. I found it particularly shocking that the guide deliberately nudged a sea turtle only for it to show up for the group – a completely disrespectful and unacceptable treatment of a wildlife. Anyone who supports such a thing should not be allowed to offer tours in nature.
Then there was an extremely pushy photographer who took pictures without asking – and when I didn’t want to buy one, he got really puny and said I stole his time. I never asked for his services.
This tour was anything but authentic and left a bitter aftertaste. I can only strongly advise against this – especially for anyone who cares about the respectful handling of animals.
Unfortunately, this tour was a complete disappointment. It was blatantly obvious that the focus was not on experiencing nature, but rather on squeezing as much money as possible out of the tourists. What shocked me most was the guide deliberately poking a sea turtle to force it to surface for the group – a totally disrespectful and unacceptable way to treat a wild animal. Anyone who supports this kind of behavior should not be offering nature tours.
On top of that, there was a very pushy photographer who took photos without being asked – and when I didn’t want to buy any, he got visibly annoyed and told me I had been wasted his time. I never requested his services in the first place.
This tour was far from authentic and left a very bitter aftertaste. I strongly advise against it – especially for anyone who cares about respectful and ethical wildlife experiences.

Mass instead of class - After a completely chaotic arrival, the planned vehicle broke down, with breakneck actions of the replacement vehicle we arrived almost on time. An unprecedented disorganization awaited us on the boat. At first they didn't find our booking, then they didn't want to let us on the upper deck, we were supposed to sit inside, finally arrived at the top there was no place to sit together as a group. It was all crowded, hectic, loud and you were left to your own devices. Colds were in English, Polish and Russian. Down at the glass floor we saw a rather boring underwater world. The highlight was a swarm of jellyfish. While snorkeling we saw three turtles, the reef on site was not pretty, manatees were not there. Dinner was fine. All in all, a lost holiday day and wasted money ! Every snorkeling trip on the house reef of our hotel was more exciting and beautiful.

Sad - Highly priced, very full....
The "view" from the submarine area was very modest, murky and without any particular sightings, some nice jellyfish ....
Snorkeling in a bay where 7 other boats were already anchored....There were many fins to see....
Particularly bad: the boat scrambled the "corals" twice....
Here reef and fish are broken!!!
