Unforgettable snorkeling trip – absolutely recommended!

We had an all-around successful snorkeling trip! The tour guides were super friendly, attentive, and always made sure that no one was left alone. The pickup from the hotel worked flawlessly, and the entire process was punctual and well organized. The lunch was delicious and sufficient. The coral reefs were simply beautiful – a real highlight! We were especially pleased that we could see turtles and even manatees. Overall, it was a great tour that we would recommend at any time!

Snorkeling with turtles and manatees. The turtles were sighted, and the crew member took beautiful pictures and videos.

The pickup at the Port Galib Hotel Pickalbatros was smooth and punctual. Snorkeling in the Red Sea is always an experience.

Not to be missed!

A beautiful experience, made even more special by the onboard staff who instructed us in a light and friendly manner. On the boat, there is everything necessary, and the staff is always available, speaking multiple languages as well. I recommend this excursion even though we were unfortunate not to see the dugong, but we still had fun; there were turtles and plenty of snorkeling. Timely and comfortable transfer. Excellent lunch!

Operator response

Grazie di cuore per la tua bellissima recensione! 😊 Siamo davvero felici che tu abbia trascorso una splendida giornata con il nostro equipaggio. Anche se il dugongo questa volta si è fatto desiderare, siamo contenti che le tartarughe, lo snorkeling e l'atmosfera a bordo abbiano reso l'esperienza speciale. Speriamo di rivederti presto a Marsa Alam... magari la prossima volta sarà proprio il dugongo a darti il benvenuto! 🐢💙

Dugongs, turtles, and more

Absolute recommendation! The start was a bit bumpy, as the driver had some trouble with the room numbers. After that, everything was great! We saw the dugong right away during our first snorkeling session! Then there were numerous large turtles and even dolphins! The food on board was good and the crew was friendly! Snorkeling was done in groups, and our guide was very dedicated. Contact with the provider was exemplary; we were always well informed.

Operator response

Vielen Dank für Ihre tolle Bewertung und Ihre Empfehlung! Es freut uns sehr, dass sich der kleine holprige Start schnell geklärt hat und Sie anschließend einen rundum gelungenen Tag erleben konnten. Ein Dugong bereits beim ersten Schnorchelstopp zu sehen, dazu zahlreiche große Schildkröten und sogar Delfine – solche Begegnungen machen Marsa Mubarak wirklich besonders. Vielen Dank auch für Ihre netten Worte über unsere Crew, den Schnorchelguide und unseren Kundenservice. Es ist uns sehr wichtig, unsere Gäste jederzeit gut zu informieren und ihnen ein unvergessliches Erlebnis zu ermöglichen. Wir würden uns freuen, Sie bei Ihrem nächsten Urlaub in Marsa Alam wieder an Bord begrüßen zu dürfen! Herzliche Grüße Ihr Marsa Joys Travel Team

Great trip, would love to do it again 👍

Super nice people, everything went perfectly. From pickup to drop-off. One of our daughters was sick, so we did not have to pay the national park fee for her. Everyone on the boat was very nice and helpful. We saw the manatee and also plenty of turtles.

Operator response

Vielen Dank für Ihre tolle Bewertung! Zunächst hoffen wir, dass es Ihrer Tochter inzwischen wieder gut geht. Es ist immer schade, wenn man einen Ausflug krankheitsbedingt verpassen muss. Umso mehr freut es uns, dass Sie einen schönen Tag hatten und alles von der Abholung bis zum Rücktransfer reibungslos geklappt hat. Wie schön, dass Sie sowohl die Dugong (Seekuh) als auch viele Schildkröten sehen konnten – unvergessliche Begegnungen! Vielen Dank auch für Ihr Lob an unsere Crew. Wir geben Ihre netten Worte sehr gerne weiter. Herzliche Grüße Das Team von Marsa Joys Travel
