Hazem has been especially helpful with first-time snorkelers.

“Il nostro pessimo inglese ha reso tutto più complicato, ma la gentilezza e i sorrisi delle guide e del personale hanno risolto ogni inconprenaione. Cibo ottimo e estrema pulizia. Ma la cosa che conta di più: abbiamo nuotato con tre tartarughe giganti per più di mezz ora e dulcis in fundo il dugongo!!!! Che emozione irripetibile!!!!! Grazie”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 33 reviews · from $80Top rated

Travel from Marsa Alam to Marsa Mubarak for guided snorkeling focused on dugongs, large Red Sea turtles, and coral reef life. The 8.5-hour trip includes hotel pickup, a 25-minute boat ride, equipment, lunch, drinks, and national park fees. The group can reach 26 people, so expect a social boat day rather than a private outing.

“This trip was made up by 3 parts, the boat trip, snorkeling with turtles and snorkeling at a coral reef. The boat trip was sometimes rolling due to the wave action, if you easily get sea sick, take a pill before. The lunch on the boat was good. At Read more”
