What travellers say
Wirklich ein gelungener Ausflug. Wir waren anfangs etwas skeptisch wegen der Glasscheiben, aber man konnte unter Deck super sehen und es war angenehm kühl. Der Schnorchelstopp war zeitlich genau richtig und die Crew war total entspannt und lustig. Würden wir definitiv wieder buchen.
Spot on morning out. We weren't really sure what to expect but the views through the underwater glass were crystal clear. The snorkeling was decent too, and they had plenty of gear to go around for everyone. Pick-up from our resort was bang on time. Can't fault it.
Классная морская прогулка! Муж не особо любит снорклинг, а мне очень хотелось посмотреть кораллы, поэтому это был идеальный компромисс. Персонал вежливый, во время остановки на купание всем быстро выдали жилеты и маски. Рекомендую!
Брали экскурсию на прошлой неделе. Очень удобно с детьми, так как не все в семье хорошо плавают. Внизу работает кондиционер, окна большие и чистые, рыб видно отлично. Потом была остановка поплавать с масками. Забрали из отеля вовремя, без задержек. Однозначно стоит своих денег.
Booked this last minute for my partner and I. The sub itself was super clean and having the air-con downstairs was an absolute lifesaver. Saw loads of fish and some really colourful coral. The guys running the boat were a good laugh and the snorkeling bit at the end was well organized.
Really enjoyed this tour! Seeing the coral and fish from the submarine was amazing, and the snorkelling stop was the best part. The crew were friendly and everything was well organised. Definitely worth doing if you're in Hurghada.
