See the dugongs

4.00Seeing the dugongs was a dream. We were lucky enough to see one. On the other hand, we have to comply with the rule of the national park: we are all in groups, with lifejackets and we wait our turn... it is special, but it is the price to pay to see this endangered species. Otherwise, the boat and the crew were very good and considerate. In conclusion, it was a beautiful day!
A little crowded but we saw turtles and sea cows

4.00I loved the experience! Crew, snorkel guides helped me well and watched in the sea. T was my first x snorkeling so had to practice. . 2 x snorkel stop . First x we had to do a lot of swimming and everyone started pushing each other .2e stop reported that there are also inexperienced swimmers in the group and that was well heeded. T went well nice and quiet bobbing (partly due to life jacket ) huge sea turtles and manatees seen. You can't touch them but the sea cow swam right up to me like this past my family and felt his hair. Was so cool to come face to face and feel it anyway .! Had a wonderful day at sea with my 3 sons. Said and ahmed top guides .only the price tag was 350 euros which I think is a lot of money . Extra taxi cost because our hotel was further away . But all in all definitely worth it.
Put a rabbit down. There's no manatee.

3.00The organizer stood me up on D-Day, up 4:00 for nothing, it's always nice. Reschedule the next day, beautiful walk with the observation of 3 turtles and many fish at the reef, unfortunately no manatee but that's the game. Cons: during the first stop, life jacket mandatory and it is frankly not nice and not necessary and very long waiting in port.
Duongos and Turtles

3.00Here it all depends on whether it is season or not of Duongos, which you have to inform yourself before booking this tour, so we did not see duongos. They took us to the area where they initially go to eat and we took the opportunity to see turtles, but effectively it is not the excursion you expect if you are not lucky enough to see the sea cows. And in the water we were pretty crowded and people try to touch it which I find pretty terrible.
Unforgettable experience

4.00Snorkeling with Dugong Marsa Mubarak – An unforgettable experience! Despite the windy weather, the trip was really fantastic. The view and snorkeling with the dugongs were a real highlight. Lunch was a pleasant surprise – it was not only delicious, but also varied and well prepared. The guides were incredibly nice and helpful. They supported us throughout the trip and made sure we felt safe and comfortable. Overall, it was a wonderful day that I would recommend to anyone who loves the sea and nature.
Beautiful trip with breathtaking giant turtles.

4.00Pickup was on time. Very nice ship with shaded deck. With a lot of sea we went to the first reef. Due to a lot of swell and quite a lot of current there was not so much to see. We snorkeled between the ships and the reef for safety. The second point was Marsa Mubarak. Manatees were unfortunately not there but wonderful giant turtles grazing very close under you. We were able to admire at least 4 different ones and had good time for it. You are traveling in small groups of 10 people and a guide, who also has a lifebuoy with him and asks everyone again and again individually if everything is ok. Afterwards there was lunch on board. Very tasty and well organized. Afterwards a short snorkeling tour over a very nice reef near the beach. And an exciting way back through the waves. Overall a nice trip with friendly guides and good organization. And the turtles are absolutely insane.
Nice Snorkeling Experience

4.00The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the opportunity to swim alongside a large number of turtles, which was absolutely magical. The crew proved us life jackets and snorkeling gear. While we didn’t have the chance to see a dugong, and the coral reef seemed to be somewhat injured, leading to fewer fish sightings than we had hoped. The boat was meticulously clean and well-maintained, which added to the overall comfort of the trip. The food served on board was delicious.
