    Zur Sicherheit: beim Schnorchel-Ausflug top, leider ist der Busfahrer unserer Meinung nach sehr riskant und rücksichtslos gefahren. Wir haben uns überhaupt nicht wohl gefühlt. Zum Guide: genauso, beim Ausflug alle top, der Guide neben dem Fahrer war mehr an seinem Handy interessiert als an uns Kunden. Beim verlassen des Autos gab es nicht mal eine Verabschiedung.

    Wir hatten vor zwei Jahren die Tour schon einmal gemacht, sie hat uns so gut gefallen. Für uns war gleich klar, die müssen wir noch einmal machen. Dies lag nicht nur an der traumhaften Insel, dem Fischreichen Riff oder dem kristall klarem Wasser. Auch unser Tour- Guide Amr hat uns wieder begeistert. Er hat uns den ganzen Tag begleitet und konnte uns alle unsere Fragen beantworten. Ein krönenden Abschluss bildete der Sonnenuntergang bei dem wir von Delphinen begleitet wurden.

    Es war ein sehr schöner Tag. Eine Trauminsel mit wunderschönen Strand. Das Schnorcheln war auch ok, nur ein bißchen chaotisch im Wasser weil mehrere Gruppen aufeinander trafen. Trotzdem führte uns unser Guide sicher durch. Ein großes Lob an Guide Amr. Sehr nett, hilfsbereit und spricht gut deutsch.

    An itinerary would be great, or rough timings, as the food was not provided until 3pm which is awkward when you have medical needs and need to take medication and eat at certain times. However, we all thoroughly enjoyed this trip and would highly recommend. The island was beautiful and the snorkelling was fantastic! Our transfer driver was brilliant and very entertaining too!

    Der Guide Ahmed Zayn hat sich den ganzen tag wundervoll und aufopfernd um uns gekümmert. Alles war perfekt durchstrukturiert. Die Sicherheit war in jedem Fall gegeben, es war ein traumhaftes Erlebnis.
