We hebben een super leuke dag gehad. Alles was tip top geregeld. Joan onze duikinstructeur heeft alles goed en duidelijk uitgelegd wat voor mij echt heel fijn was omdat het voor mij de eerste keer was dat ik dit ging doen. Het koraal was echt erg mooi. Veel vissen gezien. Zelfs dolfijnen! 😃 Ook hebben we nog een vogel gered uit de zee die hoogstwaarschijnlijk geen kracht meer had om verder te vliegen. Al met al een topdag gehad. Nogmaals bedankt Joan en de crew van de boot.

Superbe sortie en mer !! L’équipage était super sympa, le bateau parfaitement entretenu. La nourriture à bord est faite au moment et etait très bonne; pour les suppléments possibles les prix sont raisonnables. Du côté de la partie plongée, c’était magnifique, en snorkeling la multitude de poissons de récif qu’on peut voir est géniale. Mais le gros plus est la plongée en bouteille, nous avons fait l’initiation qui a durée une bonne vingtaine de minute en immersion. L’impression de découvrir un nouvel univers est folle. Mention spéciale à Joan, notre instructeur francophone, qui a été parfaitement à l’écoute et pédagogue avec nous pour nous permettre de profiter pleinement du moment. La sortie est aussi parfaite pour les enfants, nos filles de 14 et 10 ans ont adoré ! Merci !

Leuke dag gehad met de kroeg, alhoewel de zee ruw was gingen we nog een uurtje snorkelen. De boot was van ons alleen, dat was wel wat minder…..ik dacht bij mezelf, hoe meer zielen, hoe meer vreugde. Werd wel ons geadviseerd om na april terug te komen, dan is het minder winderig/ koud in het water. Uiteindelijk hebben we toch genoten en waren blij met de goeie service. Dankjewel voor een fijne dag👍🏽

L’activité était vraiment super. Notre chauffeur était très sympathique et le véhicule propre et récent. Sur le bateau, même si nous n’avons pas eu celui initialement prévu (en maintenance annuelle, période creuse), le bateau de remplacement était très propre, confortable et bien équipé. L’équipe à bord était au top, chaleureuse et attentionnée, et le repas était très bon. Un grand merci à Johan pour ses conseils : la journée en mer a été très agréable, aussi bien pour se détendre au soleil que pour faire du snorkeling. Le spot de plongée est tout simplement incroyable, avec une multitude de poissons aux couleurs magnifiques. Je referai avec grand plaisir une journée pour apprendre la plongée avec bouteille si l’occasion se représente.

une journée de rêve, un taxi très agréable, un équipage au petit soin. un bon repas, et accompagnement professionnel dans l'eau pour découvrir les merveilles sous-marine de la mer rouge. Merci

This was a very nice trip with beautiful snorkeling and diving. Please note that this is a scuba diving-focused trip, this wasn't completely clear from the information which can give the impression of a snorkeling trip with the optional add-on of trying out scuba diving. Since I'm not a certified scuba diver, I was snorkeling most of the time at fish-packed reefs. I also had two 20 min, personally guided, instruction dives. The first was included in the ticket, the second cost 29€ which was well spent money. A big eloge for the excellent communication before the trip and! Food was nice with fried chicken. I definitely recommend this very professional trip, but again - please note that this isn't you average snorkeling cruise but a diving focused trip. You definitely get a nice day if only snorkeling, but if you don't at least do the introduction dive, you'll definitely miss out on the main purpose of the trip.

Amazing experience. The reefs are just as if not more beautiful in person as they are in photos online. All the diving instructors were friendly and helpful. Transportation to and from the marina was efficient and comfortable. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to snorkel or dive in some of the most beautiful reefs in the world!
