Booked directly at the counter at the marina with Naz. Abdul Was the captain. Prices are fair - booking via hotel would have been more than double of the price. USP of this tour is that they have a Go Pro 13, Naz is hands on and uploads the photos and videos to download for free. For everyone who does not have an own go pro it is amazing. We saw like 20 turtles and were provided a Kajak to use at the beach.

We chose to stay one night on the islands. The crew takes care of everything, crossing, meals, camp and snorkelling equipment. All you have to do is enjoy the turquoise water, the fish, the turtles. We ended our roadtrip with this experience that will remain engraved. Thanks to Naz and the Captains! I recommend it

Exciting boat ride in small motor boat to the Daymaniyat islands. Snorkling in 3 different spots throughout the morning. We managed to see turtles and swim with them at the last spot. Nice snacks and drinks handed out throughout and quick return on speed boat. Very enjoyable. We needed a later departure as we were staying far away from the Marina and this was kindly accommodated by the tour operator. The Marina itself is also nice for a wonder and a coffee/snack.

Flew in for this excursion. Got a message the night before (no phone call) to say it was cancelled due to sea conditions. Weather was calm. Spoke to other people in hotel who went on same tour , same day, different company and no issue.

Trip to be recommended. All the staff are very friendly. It takes about 45 min to get to the islands. It's a little piece of paradise where you can swim with the turtles. On the boat, refreshments, sandwiches and fruit are available. I highly recommend this activity, because compared with the competition, the boat is smaller, so it's more convivial. Thanks again!
