Fantastic experience would highly recommend! - Excellent tour - would highly recommend. Lots of time to chill in the sea and the boat ride was extremely relaxing! They even set up a little picnic at the second island for us to enjoy a couple of snacks. Thank you so much for such a wonderful time!

Lovely relaxing morning boat cruise - My wife and I spent a lovely morning on this cruise. Does exactly what it says on the tin! The staff were fantastic and the boat was comfortable and clean. We spent time navigating some channels between islands and had some downtime on the beach with the snacks provided. It’s a peaceful rather than exhilarating trip which was just what we wanted. We glimpsed a turtle and a dolphin and got to see the resident gazelles on Al Maya resort island.

Nice tour to enjoy the sea - Nice sealing semi private, the Delphine island is very nice, tour is great and you can enjoy some iconics place and finally you have your spot for 1,5 hours on the beach to relax and enjoy some appetizers from the organiser. Nice tour.

Two islands and a boat - I enjoyed this trip as I love boat trips. It is perhaps a bit of a stretch to describe it as Island Hopping - the trip stops on two islands. They both have lovely quiet beaches (the second beach has some litter in the trees which was a little disappointing) I saw what I think must have been some kind of deer in the distance on Halat Al Bahrani which was interesting. I managed a quick swim too, although I was the only one. A small snack was served. The two 'captains' were lovely and helpful. The boat trip was great fun and the views of the Palace were really quite spectacular. The boat is small, and there are no restrooms. Four hours can be a long time without this! There is no office at the marina so a sign would have been reassuring, especially as I was on my own. Personally, I would have preferred less time on the one island and more travelling but I still enjoyed this experience and would recommend it.

Nice trip - Good views from the boat and saw gazelle on one of the islands. The trip had been delayed and the boat crew surprised us with lunch. Crew were attentive and the trip felt inclusive as only 6 people on the trip.

Not recommended, the islands are not that exciting and the food consists of popcorn and soft drinks - We had to change the boat, we don't know why. It wasn't really pleasant without a toilet for four hours.

It's a shame about the time and money - The meeting point itself was strange, the harbor was deserted and looked more like an industrial wasteland. The skyline from the water was beautiful, but there was very little explanation, even in English. The first of the two islands was a boring wasteland, no idea what you were supposed to do there for an hour. Since all five of us demonstratively got back into the boat after 40 minutes, we went to the second of the two islands. There was some vegetation here, and you could also swim. Then straight back to the harbor. Too much money for far too little service! What a waste of time. The mosque tour is the exact opposite of that!

Boring. - Found the trip quite boring. Literally visit two islands for a long period each. They are even that good islands. Nice enough but I wouldn’t pay the amount we paid for that. Staff really friendly and good. Boat is nice.

VerDisappointed by this tour of the islands: boring and expensive for the service provided. - We booked a tour of the islands for a family of 5. We thought we would be on a boat with a maximum of 6 people, but we were taken on a boat with 8 passengers (+2 accompanying adults). As far as the tour was concerned, we were dropped off on two beaches, but not really on any islands. The scenery wasn't really exceptional and we weren't given any activities or explanations. We were dropped off on the island for 45 minutes, with nothing to do or see. We were given a snack on the second island. We were pretty disappointed with this trip; although we're a pretty good crowd, we were really bored. It really wasn't worth the price.
