Snorkelling day trip with Elite VIP in Hurghada. - Booked this snorkelling trip with Elite VIP through the TUI rep at out hotel. With the environmental tax included and a discount it was £79 per person. We were collected at 7.30 am by air conditioned small minibus but then made several stops at hotels in Makadi Bay so didn’t reach Hurghada harbour until about 8.30. The rep leading our group was OK explaining what was going to happen at the beginning but did put in about possible tips for the boat crew the end. We also had groups from other areas with other Nationalities including German and Dutch on board but the boat was not busy and was spotlessly clean and well presented with a salon area on the bottom, the first deck with chairs and tables and the upper deck sun beds. You could hire a shortie wetsuit for £10 which my wife did as the day we did the trip the wind was a little stronger making the sea choppy. On the way to the first stop we saw a dolphin with the boat captain signalling the other closer trip boats so it was soon busy with them all trying to get a view and scaring the dolphin off. At the first stop the water was a little rough but the guides have taken the two groups out with them looking after the less capable swimmers. The second stop was more calm and our group got to see a turtle. After this was lunch which was varied with chicken, fish and shrimp with potatoes, rice and various salads. All were delicious and plentiful. The final stop was a little busy with other boats both snorkelling and dive boats in the same spot. This stop wasn’t very long but the reef is spectacular. The only niggle to the day was the hard sell by the photographer on board and some of his actions during the snorkelling for example diving down to try and get shots of the turtle so he scared it off so the second group didn’t get to see it. The original price quoted for some photos, a video and link to others on a site was 180 euros which was ridiculous. Speaking to others on board, he also gave different prices to different couples. We did try and explain that it was way too expensive and we were not interested especially after I had read previous reviews. By the time we were nearly at the harbour the price had been reduced to £50 for photos and a video on a usb which was still too much. If it had been explained that he would be on board and pricing at the beginning of the trip, then people could have told him if they were interested or not. The whole trip was about 6 hours and apart from this the trip was enjoyable, the boat and crew very good, the food tasty and the snorkelling good with it being worth the money paid.

Great day out - Another great day on this day out, the boat is spotless clean and the staff fantastic. Drinks and food all of good quality. Having been doing this trip for a few years it was dissappointing to see the lack off fish on the reefs this year, not sure why which is the only reason we would give this trip a miss next year

It was a great experience! - We highly recommend the Elite VIP diving trip. We didn't have to worry about a thing. Everything was top-notch. Our diving instructor knew what he was doing. We felt very safe and got to see the underwater world. The food was delicious. The entire crew made every effort to make us feel great, and we did. It was a wonderful day. Thank you.

Highly recommended - Fantastic experience. Staff will do anything to give you a nice day. Only the Leen snorkels should be checked if they are still leakproof. I had a pair of goggles myself that leaked. Good food on the boat. Really a top organization
