Full Day Trip to Daymaniyat Islands

I highly recommend this trip. The snorkelling was amazing with vibrantly coloured fish and so many turtles! Lunch was delicious and all the staff were so attentive. I recommend a full day trip as it is much more relaxed and allows you time to explore the island, have a 2nd opportunity to snorkel and a paddle around the bays in the kayak. We had a truly memorable day- thank you!

Funtastic experience and excellent tour guide

The tour guide was very nice and he lead attendees properly and gently. He cared all attendees and kept entertaining people until the end even though we were tired. I usually don't join group tours. However I felt I would challenge again if tour guides are like him. He carefully talked with people to minimize the anticipation including me, The experience in Wadi Shab was fantastic and was much more than my expectation. Beautiful and exciting. I just though one to be improved below. Prenotification was just one day before and I purchased swimming shows, water shield bug already. I won't buy those if I knew those could be purchased or lent. I heard a Vietnamese lade didn't swim because she said there were too many people swimming. I guess a lot of Vietnamese can't swim and had no confidence to swim among those a lot of people. Actually the experience was much challenging that I thought. I could enjoy it but it might not be easy for people who don't swim so well. This is just my point of views because I believe she could claim it.
