This is an absolute must-do when visiting Sharm El Sheikh! The boat, BARAG, and its captain and crew are truly passionate about their work. They create an amazing vibe, are super helpful, and incredibly friendly. Whether you're an experienced scuba diver or a complete novice, they make sure everyone feels included and comfortable. We made three stops for snorkeling and saw some of the most breathtaking fish and coral I’ve ever encountered. To top it off, we got incredibly lucky and spotted a school of dolphins—at least 50 of them swimming alongside the boat! It was unforgettable. Lunch was decent, though I’d recommend bringing snacks and drinks if you’re a picky eater. Also, it’s a good idea to bring your own snorkel gear to avoid potential issues with rentals from the marina. A huge thank you to the entire team for making this such a fantastic experience. We’ll definitely be back!

We booked our excursion through A1toureg.com, and our contact, Zizou, made the entire experience fantastic. We were picked up from our hotel at 8:00 AM and headed to Sharm port, where we boarded the boat SAMYRA. The staff on board were absolutely wonderful! My 9-year-old daughter had an amazing time and quickly became the boat’s little mascot. During the excursion, they even gave her the chance to try a small dive (7 meters for 20 minutes), which she was absolutely thrilled about. A big thank you to everyone for making this such a memorable experience!

This excursion is perfect for both diving enthusiasts and those who enjoy snorkeling. Unlike Ras Mohamed, this location is far less crowded, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the experience. Masks and fins are provided, but even if they mention fins aren't necessary, I recommend taking them anyway—they’ll come in handy. A fantastic trip for anyone looking to enjoy the underwater world in peace!

The trip was incredibly well-organized. I did my first intro dive with them, and the instructors were amazing—very helpful and guiding you through every step of the experience. The boat also stopped at two other locations for snorkeling, which added to the fun. The boat was clean and well-maintained, and the entire crew was friendly and supportive. It was truly a trip to remember. Highly recommended!

The snorkeling and diving were absolutely excellent! There were only one or two other tour boats, so the reef felt practically untouched. The reefs were stunning, teeming with life, and a joy to explore. The staff were highly skilled and incredibly helpful throughout the trip. We also booked a trip to Ras Mohammed, but this experience was 200 times better! Ras Mohammed had far too many tour boats, making it much less enjoyable. Highly recommend this trip for a more serene and beautiful experience!

It was a great adventure and a thoroughly enjoyable trip to a stunning location. The crew was incredibly friendly and attentive, always there to assist. The lunch was delicious and satisfying, adding to the overall experience. Scuba diving among the beautiful coral reef was a highlight of the trip. However, I’m giving it 4 stars because the designated dive times weren’t fully honored. I booked two 30-minute dives, but the second one felt rushed. The crew seemed quite busy, and having an additional certified diver on board could have helped manage the workload better. On the way back, we were lucky enough to spot dolphins, which was absolutely breathtaking and an unforgettable moment. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and great value for money. It would have been perfect if the full hour of diving was provided as promised. Solid 4.5/5 stars!

An incredible trip with multiple snorkeling spots showcasing vibrant underwater gardens filled with a variety of fish! I was lucky enough to spot a moray eel and a stingray. The crew was extremely kind, and the instructors were patient and professional, going out of their way to help us observe and appreciate the diverse marine life. A truly unforgettable experience!

The communication was excellent, allowing me to use the service with complete peace of mind. They responded promptly to all my questions, which built a sense of trust. The pick-up and drop-off were punctual and reliable. The boat used for the tour was fair given the price and met expectations. As for the snorkeling experience, it could have been better, but under normal circumstances, I believe it would still be quite enjoyable and satisfying.
