We did not receive confirmation of our pick-up time until we contacted the company ourselves just 8 hours before the cruise, only to be told it was canceled without explanation. They rescheduled it for another day, but sea conditions were very rough, making the experience unpleasant and causing seasickness. The water was too murky to see anything, and despite an early departure, we waited over an hour at the dock before leaving. Overall, it was disappointing and poorly organized.

I was really excited to snorkel with dugongs and turtles, but unfortunately the experience was quite upsetting due to the behavior of the tour guides. Instead of allowing the animals to swim peacefully in their natural environment, the guides constantly chased after them underwater. This made the animals visibly stressed and disturbed, ruining the sense of tranquility and respect that should be part of such an encounter.
The aggressive approach by the guides felt disrespectful to the wildlife as a whole. It took away from the magical experience I was hoping for, and instead left me feeling uncomfortable and disappointed. I truly believe these gentle creatures deserve to be observed calmly and respectfully, not harassed for the sake of a better photo or closer interaction.
I hope future tours prioritize the well-being of the animals and teach visitors how to appreciate them without causing stress.

The pick up went smoothly and no problems getting on the boat around 9. Unfortunately there was like an hour of additional paperwork to fill out so the boat didn't leave until 10.
The main guide spoke English, the others spoke enough to get by. He advised us that we may not see any sea cows- that was kind of a bummer.
The first stop were some coral, but I thought there would be more fish. There were a couple screaming kids on the boat and one went into complete melt down mode when his parents brought him the water.
I enjoyed swimming without a life jacket. It was peaceful. There were a few non dangerous jellyfish, unfortunately fewer non jellyfish.
The highlight of the was definitely the sea turtles. There were only two or three but they were majestic looking. The guide said one was 150 years old. Unfortunately because we were in a National Park and life jackets were required- it limited my mobility to swim freer. The law makes sense, it keeps more humans farther away from annoying the turtles.
The turtles did swim up near the surface and that was neat. Also cool to see the fish clean the turtles shells. Probably every high schooler in the US learned about it in high school as an example of a symbiotic relationship.
The late lunch was good. Delicious options for vegetarians- my favorite was the eggplant dip. The watermelon was refreshing.
I paid the photographer $30. I'll be curious how those come out.
Marked down a star for the lack of sea cows, the screaming kids and the guides and boat workers who were smoking during the tour.
The first is kind of misleading marketing. The second- they should set a minimum age or make it adults only or have a kid free option.
I know the third is common in Egypt- but the guides and workers smoking while I'm trying to enjoy the beauty of the Red Sea- is just not a good look.

For good swimmers time for exploring is short and quite boring due also to life jacket. SNORKEL in between boats and the reef not absolutelly a nice experience is like swimming in a port. OF Course the experience of swimming with Dugong is special and the boat personell tried to do their best and assist. But is time to organize trip for experienced swimmer!

On Viator, the trip says to start at 8:00. We didn't leave the harbour until 10:30, and back around 15:45.
Wetsuits not included (8 euro pr. person)

Very nice experience. The sea in Marsa Mubarak is spectacular, the water clear. We saw the turtles, a special meeting. The guide was prepared and made us always feel safe. The organization was punctual and the transfer comfortable. We also received a good lunch on the nace. Good value for money, worth 40 euros.

The day itself is ok. The pick-up is quite punctual, the supervisors are also very friendly and helpful. However, the intention was to see manatees. There are at least 6 large ships around the grazing area of the manatees and turtles with at least 25 snorkelers / divers on board each time. When a manatee was suddenly spotted, dinghies sprung from all sides to show the animal to everyone. The result was that the manatee was startled by all the tumult and that the animal hurriedly swam away from the pack. I know it's a little too late to give my own verdict because I've seen just as much guilt in it as I've taken part in to get a glimpse of this rarity. But wouldn't it be better to leave these animals alone and make sure the word rarity isn't turned into extinct..? Again, you can already see the effects of global warming very well. Many corals have already died and the large quantities of fish have already been significantly reduced. Turtles can also be found snorkeling with ease in front of your own hotel. I was going to have given just a little more stars if the boat photo pictured here had also effectively been the boat we had sailed with. However, this is not the case here.

Schildkröten und Dugong gesehen!!
Abholung verlief absolut in Ordnung, mussten ein paar Minuten warten, aber völlig im Rahmen. Fahrt waren circa 10 Minuten mit einem Kleinbus, vor Ort direkt aufs Boot. Dort ein paar einleitende Worte und wir mussten ein paar Sachen ausfüllen. Einer von der Crew konnte Deutsch, Englisch , Italienisch, Russisch und ein bisschen polnisch. Nach ungefähr 20 Minuten an Bord, gegen 09:30 Uhr ging es dann los und nach ungefähr 15-20 Minuten waren wir auch schon in der Marsa Mubarak. Leider konnten wir aufgrund von sehr starkem Wind nur diese eine Bucht anfahren, aber wir wollten Schildkröten sehen und das sollte man hier können, also war das für uns fein. Nachdem wir angelegt haben ging es dann auch schon los und wir durften ins Wasser. Nach circa 90 Sekunden haben wir auch schon die erste Schildkröte gesehen und waren begeistert. Leider war mit uns ein Idiot unterwegs, der die Schildkröte hochheben wollte (bitte auf gar keinen Fall machen, keine Tiere/Fische und Korallen anfassen!!!), dadurch ist sie natürlich weg geschwommen, aber das war für uns nur halb so schlimm, denn wir durften die nächste wenige Augenblicke später bestaunen. Wir waren circa 12 Leute von unserem Boot, 2 Guides und ein Kameramann. Es wurde auf alle gut geachtet und wenn man nicht mehr konnte, dann wurde man mit einem Rettungsring gezogen. Nach 30 Minuten ging es zurück an Bord und wir haben uns mit Tee aufgewärmt und kurz ausgeruht. Kurze Zeit später brach Hektik aus, denn es wurde ein seltenes Dugong von einer anderen Gruppe gesichtet und wir sind schnell wieder ins Wasser gehüpft. Leider war sehr viel los und ich habe ein paar Flossenschläge abbekommen, aber konnte das Dugong aus nächster Nähe bestaunen. Anschließend konnten wir noch kurz an einem Riff schnorcheln. Im Anschluss an das Abenteuer gab es noch Mittagessen, welches sehr lecker war. Danach hatten wir 30 Minuten für uns und ich durfte nochmal alleine zu dem Riff schwimmen und konnte ein paar schöne Unterwasseraufnahmen machen (das ist nur zu empfehlen, wenn man sich der Gefahren bewusst ist, die vom Meer und den anderen Menschen ausgehen). Danach ging es wieder mit dem Boot zurück, es war sehr schaukelig aufgrund der Wellen und nichts für schwache Mägen. Nachdem wir von Bord waren wurden wir direkt zurück zum Hotel gebracht. Wir haben wundervolle Erinnerung gesammelt und haben uns sehr sicher gefühlt!
Hard Facts:
Datum: 31.01.
Wetter: Sehr windig, dadurch sehr wellig
Zeit von Abholung bis zurück am Hotel: 08:45-15:45 Uhr (davon circa 6 Stunden auf dem Wasser)
Personenanzahl: circa 18 Personen
Crew: 8 Personen
Inklusive: Getränke (Wasser, Tee, Kaffee und Pepsi), Essen (Hähnchen, Rind, Kartoffeln, Reis, Salat, Brot und einmal Babaganush)
Alle waren extrem freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Natürlich muss man bedenken, dass es die freie Natur ist und es nicht selbstverständlich ist, dass man irgendwelche Tiere sieht, aber Schildkröten fast zu 100%.
