Additional Information

The Abu Dabbab dive location in the Red Sea is one of Egypt’s renowned attractions. The site is unique for being one of the few places globally where divers can interact with the scarce and threatened species, the Dugong, also referred to as the Sea Cow. There are two resident Dugongs in Abu Dabbab bay known as Dennis and Douglas. The site is also home to affable Green Sea Turtles, offering an opportunity for close encounters. Spotting the unique, non-threatening Guitar Shark in the shallow waters is also not uncommon.

THE BEST COMPANY TO GO WITH - We had an amazing time on the boat trip to paradise island with Aladdin! The boat in general is so much fun, we had two stops to snorkel and a delicious lunch and unlimited free soft drinks. We then went to Paradise island which is exactly that, PARADISE! Then we had “water sports” which consisted of a sofa boat and a banana boat. Everything was so much fun and I would 10000% recommend to anyone to go with canary tours, they’re so attentive and caring.

Top - I used canary tours when I visited Hurghada 4 years ago and had a great experience then so felt confident booking again. This was the first time bringing my 2 young children to Egypt, and I was especially nervous because of my son having additional needs. Prior to coming I was messaging the company backwards and forwards over a few weeks to get as much information as I could about every aspect of bringing children to Egypt, no question was ever too much, they answered everything fully and in great detail so I knew exactly what to expect. Today was our first trip. We had an absolutely fantastic day swimming with the turtles. The information before hand was brilliant, we knew exactly what time plan was, what time we would be picked up and what would be happening throughout the day. All of the equipment we needed was fully provided. The snorkelling with the turtles was just an incredible experience, honestly breath taking. I felt fully confident and at ease that myself and my children were perfectly safe. We got to spend the whole day at the beach along with a wonderful lunch on top of the snorkelling. Our guide Omar so friendly and enthusiastic, he was amazing with the children, even making sure they were drinking plenty of water in the hot weather. A truly amazing day that I would 100% recommend people experience for themselves.

The best - First time using canary tours Egypt. We did the Turtle Bay trip to see the turtles and the reef. Got to say was absolutely brilliant and well worth taking the kids. Omar was absolutely brilliant with both my 2 children. Showing the reef and the turtles. He kept them cool and calm whilst teaching them how to snorkel. Would highly recommend this trip. Thank you Omar 👍👍👍

Excellent - So we booked with Canary Tours from word of mouth… fantastic service from the start right till the end couldn’t recommend enough. Alladin made sure he explained everything thoroughly right from the start not missing anything. They offer numerous activities at incredibly cheap prices aswell as great hospitality the amount of care they put into their work truly shows as they want you to feel 100% safe. Omar took care of us from day 1 and I couldn’t thank him enough genuinely lovely and caring man he made sure we were comfortable and safe 100% of the time even teaching my mrs how to swim lol. Honestly couldn’t recommend enough best company to go with if your looking to do activities safely and comfortably!!!

Five star - The guys who work at Canary tours are absolutely excellent! They are so kind, really looked after us from start to finish. I was recommended the company from a friend of mine who already used them lots of times before, got in touch with Aladdin on Facebook, asked him about the different tours they do, picked which one we wanted before we got to Egypt. Then, he came and met us at the hotel, talked us through it and what to expect and the times etc. so today, we have just been on the swimming with the turtles trip. It has been incredible!! Omar came and picked us up at the hotel we were staying at, him and the driver drove us to Abu dabab, where the beautiful beach was. We came, and went out and snorkelled a few times, and saw turtles under the water, above the water, all kinds of fish, and everything was just so amazing! We also had our 5 year old daughter with us who couldn’t swim, and Omar looked after her the whole way through, made sure she felt happy, and safe, and he played with her when we were chilling on the beach and looked for shells with her on the beach. For lunch, we went to a near by restaurant and the food there was really lovely, it was a buffet style restaurant and all the food was tasty and very fresh. 10 out of 10 highly recommend Canary Tours!
