They were lovely to see, although alittle manic with a lot of boats doing the same. Off the boat on the boat, I did feel alittle sorry for the dolphins with so much going on but was nice to see them. Off we went to the snorkelling area which was lovely to see the reef and different fish and onto crystal rock and to the island for lunch. We were made felt welcome…”

“Swimming with Dolphins and Snorkeling – Hurghada The Tour Operator: The tour operator provided an excellent experience. The entire staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and clear in their communication, creating a welcoming and fun atmosphere on the boat. They played music during the trip, which added to the vibe, and importantly, they were never pushy—unlike other tours, they didn’t even ask for a review. The food onboard was decent (nothing fancy, but it was nice that you could take as much as you wanted). Additionally, the pickup and drop-off process was seamless and well-organized.

While we didn’t get to see any dolphins, we did have the chance to spot a sea turtle, which was a lovely surprise.

Also, we paid extra for unlimited soft drinks on board, but when crew members offered us canned Coke or other soft drinks, we still had to pay for them. The “free” soft drinks were only available at the lower bar, served in small…”
