Uniquely great experience - It was a really great trip. With 7 guests on board, it was fantastic. When we arrived at the harbor, we went out to sea in an exclusive boat. After about 2 hours we arrived in the bay. We were brought close to the dolphins in an inflatable boat. We were very lucky that we were able to swim with lots of dolphins in several groups. The animals were not shy at all and came very close to us. Our Quids looked after my girlfriend really well, who was still very unsure about snorkeling and swimming in the open sea. Simply brilliant, we have never experienced anything so great before. After lunch, which was also very tasty, we were able to swim with the dolphins for a second time. After that we went to a beautiful coral reef to experience the underwater world up close. Absolutely brilliant. On the way back we had a pretty rough sea, which caused some people considerable problems. Participants with sea problems were looked after very, very attentively. Absolutely brilliant. A great team with a great program, just to be recommended. Keep it up

Tour with children - We wanted to share this experience with our 6-year-old daughter, but our group gait wasn't so enthusiastic and didn't pay enough attention to her, she was also a bit scared and was immediately put back on the boat, although she could have at least been closer from the small dinghy. I don't think it's designed for children. The little ones are also looking forward to the dolphins and want to swim with them as it was offered, but you have to swim after them in a sporty way to be with the animals, so children are not really suitable and are completely left out, which is a shame. Otherwise a nice experience, long journey there and back but only a very short time with the dolphins, would have liked to have had more time there and skipped the second stop. Also confusing why you pay another €7 per person and child. Others only charge €2 or don't have to pay at all, there was no receipt either 🤷‍♀️

Good trip if you're lucky; the problem is "getting there" - You can't dislike an snorkeling experience that drops you in the midst of a large (approximately 60) pod of dolphins. The experience is exhilarating. And you also have the experience of snorkeling at a dramatically beautiful reef. I would probably do it again. But do know several things. First, while my group got very lucky, I was told that tourists see dolphins about 30-40% of the time. So prepare for a VERY long boat ride that might disappoint you. Second, to ensure that your boat ride to the reef consumes 1.5---not 2 or more--hours, I would INSIST that my boat have twin engines. The boat I rode was an 80 foot behemoth with a single engine that pushed us at no more than 8-10 knots: ridiculously slow for such a long ride. In the end, my group spent 10 hours "getting somewhere" (i.e. from hotel to boat, then boat to reefs) for a grand total of 1.5 hours in the water. (It didn't help that upon returning to the dock, we had to walk 5-7 minutes in hot sun to the van because the tour operator did not want to pay the 185 egp to pick us up at the dock. Not very classy.) Two more points: pickup from your hotel is VERY early (mine was at 5 am) and no food is provided until well after noon. So have your hotel pack a breakfast or bring your own. Lunch, however, is a nice combination of meats and salads, though drinks are limited to sugary sodas, water, and coffee. Second, as on my Hamata islands snorkeling tour, guides want to shepherd the group around quickly; if you are an experienced snorkeler, tell them that, ditch the guides, and explore the coral on your own. It will be a much more memorable experience. One more thing, if you get lucky and see dolphins, have your camera battery charged for both video and still shots.
