Hands down one of the best activities to do in hurghada. Luckily had a really small group and went to a secluded spot away from other boats and saw amazing reefs. Service was top notch from the get go. Special thanks to the lovely ukrainian lady and the lads on the tour for making it worthwhile. UK traveller

Best experience we had in Hurghada. Arabi was very helpful and gave us lots of interesting information, the best guide! Our driver was also very professional. An amazing experience and it completed our trip. Definitely recommend to everybody coming to Hurghada!

Wonderfull experience, great service and support team are great, we have had a good comfort transfer in a van, Luxor city very interesting and you will feel different by being there.. thanks for the great organization

Very nice trip! We all did see a lot of fishes and corals under water from the basement of the submarine. Snorkelling was only for the brave ones. Most of us (tourists) found the water still too cold.

Ahmed and the crew were brilliant. Kept the group well informed and safe. The whole package was well organised. Me and my small family had a great time!
