What people are saying about Hurghada

My wife and I booked a few weeks before our trip to Egypt. I was a little skeptical of the tour as it did not have many reviews. However, the reviews it did have were positive so I decided to book it. I don't regret the decision! We were promptly picked up from our resort which was outside of the pickup zone of Hurghada so we had to pay an additional fee, which was communicated very well from the beginning (keep that in mind). We were met by a nice woman who checked us in, escorted us to our boat and introduced us to our crew. Sofa was our guide for snorkeling and Wiss was our boat Captain. Both were amazing! We snorkeled at two destinations and then hung out at Paradise Beach on Giftun Island. I originally wanted to see Maymya Island but was told that we could not...? Paradise Beach is good for snorkeling and Orange Beach is good for taking photos and playing in water that tends to be ankle deep. My only complaint is the undisclosed picture and video service provided at a cost.

A fantastic trip in the absolutely stunning waters of the Red sea. The crew on board were friendly and professional and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip with them. We snorkelled and saw beautiful corals and fish and even two dolphins passed by our boat! We also enjoyed our delicious lunch and the watersports offered (Banana boat and crazy sofa). excellent value for money, would highly recommend

Fantastic trip everything was well planned and the crew were amazing. They provided coffee and arrival snacks, two snorkelling stops which gave plenty of time to see the reefs. Lunch was great and the time on the Island was a relaxing end to the day. Definitely book this trip if you are visiting Hurghada.

Best experience we had in Hurghada. Arabi was very helpful and gave us lots of interesting information, the best guide! Our driver was also very professional. An amazing experience and it completed our trip. Definitely recommend to everybody coming to Hurghada!
