        Nice day on the sea
        Plenty of time for snorkeling, saw both turtles a sea cow (from the boat). In the bay everyone must wear a life jacket, but not at the reef. If something should be improved it'd be music. At the reef there were quite a lot of people. Probably too many to be sustainable in the long run but ok for now. Bear in mind that you'll be pulled out of the water into a small rubber boat at one point, which might be difficult for some people.

        Amazing a trip
        It was a wonderful day and I will miss this place. The turtles are beautiful, the food and the crew are also good people. I had a lot of fun with my family. I will come back again. I hope and recommend this company.

        Amazing quad driving in the desert.
        This was the first time for us to drive Quad, and in the desert and all. We had a great time with this tour. We went snorkel to see turttle, it was amazing. The snorkel mask and fin OK. And Bikes were also good. Carmel drive of 5min was OK. But 30min sitting in the toerist shop was less pleasure. Although I have to mention a thing. After snorkeling we went back to the quads, suddenly we "lost" one mask. We went back to the beach, couldn't find the mask. After a while the guide Mustafa pulled the mask under his shirt. He suggested a rewarding of 20euro. We have seen this trick (lost and found) any times before. Because we grown up in slum and understand the struggling, after the tour we gave tip of 30euro. We highly recommend this tour.

      The experience was one not to be missed. After being shown onboard, there were plenty staff available to look after us and after leaving Port Ghallib, a short 15 minute journey saw us above the reef, when we were all ushered down into the submarine area of the boat. The captain clearly knows his way around the reef as we were fortunate to see shoals of tropical fish as well as sea turtles and the local Dugong or Sea Cow. After making sure that everyone had seen everything on offer, we moved up a deck for a fun dressing up. I had better explain that the middle deck is decorated in the ancient Egyptian style with Pharaoh’s throne, which was the focus of getting our pictures taken and the dressing up experience. All just a bit of fun. Then it was time for those who wanted to snorkel to get their chance to swim over the reef. Snorkelers were split into 2 groups _ one for experienced snorkelers and the second group for slightly lesser experienced snorkelers. As a beginner at snorkelling I didn’t feel I qualified to be in either group, so I didn’t snorkel. However, for information. Purposes, I have since found out that I could have snorkelled but I just needed to mention to the guides that I wasn’t very experienced, and they would have given me a bit of extra support. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

      After the snorkelling we were able to watch the sunset over the desert mountains from the upper deck before retiring downstairs for our meal. You can dine either on the upper deck or the middle deck, but the crew determine where you eat depending on the current weather conditions. The meal was excellent and rounded off a superb trip. I would have given this trip a 5 star but for one of the guides, Jaz, who became a complete nuisance and appeared to want to be the centre of attention all the time. It was especially annoying bearing in mind we already had a TUI rep on board who was there to answer our questions.

      After getting back to port we had a short time to wander around Port Ghalib and experience trying to walk down a street without getting invited into every store. That said it was an experience and ended a thoroughly enjoyable excursion. It might seem expensive but for a 7 hours trip it proved value for money.

      Me and my family was on boat in mid August. We were not too much delight it with boat. Not worth that amount of money.
      Sightsee from bottom of ship was nice but very short. Imediately when 2 turtles appear it was finished, like "ok you see turtle so that's it".
      Snoorkling was very disappointed. Swimming in group whithout enough space arround you. Also we swimmed arround other boats and lot of ropes from that boats so you couldnt swim normally.
      Lunch was nice and well served. Disapointing with drinks, where tiny plastic glass of cola or other spirit cost 2euro.
      Crazy expensive photographers, they asked from us 65 euro for pictures made in traditional Egiptian cloths.

      Definitely not recommend this boat as there are plenty better stuff to do for that money in Egypt.

      Great people, very nice and competent crew that made us feel very welcome. They were shouting whenever they spotted dolphins or turtles to let everyone see them. Very helpful when I felt sea sick, gave me medicine. The food was nice( a way too big spaghetti with meat or fish with rice). The costumes were fun. It's luck to have calm sea and see the marine life.

      Not worth the money.

      We took the morning session, there is also an afternoon one.

      The underwater room was OK with large glasses and well air conditioned. But the sea life that we saw was below average. We just saw fish and a glimpse of sea turtle.

      The snorkeling session was also a bit of a mess. We swam around the other boats and their ropes in a large group. So mostly it was just avoiding other swimmers, with almost no time to look underwater.

      There was a photo session with pharaoh's clothes. But that ruined my experience. They did not allow us to take photos, and for 4 minutes of their photo session they asked for 75€ for the photos.

      The food was also on average / below average level. On the positive side, soft drinks and water were free.

      Does not worth the money. Picked up from 3 Corner Beach Resort.
      Snorkeling did not worthy 30-40 min. Seen a few fish, 2 turtles, and asked the diving guy to record me one of the turtles. "haha how much for that " If they would be no life jacked id do it myself. The food was ok. Photographers were pushing for the highest rate for the lousiest work i 've seen. Don't care if its blurry or moved, cropped. Going for quantity than quality. Lucky that we made a deal for 20 dollars for mail pics (looked at me like I'm a piece of "poop") , where 20% could be used. Kept us on a ship till sunset would do better to leave earlier to shop at the port.
      The best thing is that the delegate told us that gear is free to take on a ship.
      The transfer took us directly in front of the office where wanted 5 + 5 dollars for snorkeling shoes and glasses. So another expense.
      Better not to take it and save it for something else.

      Actually not a bad trip, not a bad food, we were lucky to see 5 sea turtles, even during snorkelling. The guide on boat Zacharia was very attentive and friendly.

      The bad experience came for the photos, it was OK to pay 60 EUR but so far (7 days back) we still have not received the photos :-(

      This was probably the best trip of my lifetime and I did previously swim with the Whale sharks in Kenya. Everything about this experience was magical. The boat is fantastic and in pristine condition. It has three parts. The underwater submarine part with panoramic windows and turning chairs, the Egyptian salon part where you can dress up as Egyptian and the photographer will take pictures of you. They can be expensive. 65 dollars per family but we have seen people pulling price down a bit and to be fair the trip is awesome and worth it. Up on the third deck is the restaurant and bar. The crew speak any language under the sun and are so polite and not at all pushy. Just perfectly lovely. You depart from gorgeous town of Port Ghalib. Within about 20 minutes you are invited to go and watch the underwater life in the submarine part. This was amazing. Not only we have seen the turtles but also managed to see the manatee twice. The coral is layered and rich in fish. The crew members do everything in their power to ensure that you have a great experience. Communicating on the radios and making sure that the guests can spot the animals in good time and take pictures. Abel who looked after us in the submarine and then later on when snorkeling was great at spotting the animals and making you aware in plenty of time to fully enjoy the experience. After the submarine you can choose to participate in the photo experience in the Egyptian salon which is very nice and full of statues and parts of history. You can dress yourself as Nefertiti or a choice of pharaohs. Then comes the magical snorchling. They split you up in there groups. Very experienced swimmers or sborkelers, the ones with medium experience and beginners or non swimmers so everybody can dip in and have fun. There is no pressure to remain in the sea for the whole experience if you are uncomfortable with it. I recommend taking or borrowing the fins in the port as we went without and found ourselves trailing and a bit more tired than others as they really make you swim more efficiently. Whilst snorkeling we have seen lots of colorful fish including clown fish and then came the hunt for the turtle. We have seen one beautifully just underneath us and it was simply magical. As an incredible luck would have it, we have also swam just over the manatee which was breathtaking. We have been given plenty of time to take pictures and videos of it. Both, the turtle and the manatee came up for breath so we had a chance to see them swim. Please be aware you must not touch the animals. It was the most beautiful experience made even better as I could share those moments with my daughter. The snorkeling is about an hour and we were pretty tired at the end of it despite having safety floating vests. These are compulsory. When you get tired, just lay on your back and tread the water. It helps to recover. After the snorkeling we were served a diner which consisted of pita breads and two kind of salads as starter followed by a really beautiful chicken and spaghetti dish. The meal was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff extremely attentive throughout bringing over the drinks and chatting. There was a little party and entertainment with dance and music. The host who spoke impeccable English and German and handful of other languages was amazing and the crew very entertaining. Overall it has been fantastic experience and we loved every minute of it. I know we have been lucky to see the manatee and the turtles. Sometimes with these trips it is just about sheer luck but it was obvious that the crew constantly went up and above in their effort to make this trop memorable. I thank you all I can't recommend this trip and this crew enough. Best trip ever!!! Note: We were aboard the Nefertari 2 on 29th of August 2023 in the afternoon.
