Hurghada speedboat trip with dolphin watching, Red Sea snorkeling, island time, lunch, and optional parasailing for $40.
“Everything was great! It went smoothly as well! We booked just one hour before pickup, and it still worked out perfectly – respect to the organization for that! Amazing captains, amazing guide. They were respectful of the animals. We were able to observe the dolphins from the boat, and later we went snorkeling without disturbing them in their natural habitat. And simply a beautiful view! They also made sure everyone on board was well taken care of! There were food, drinks, and snacks available for everyone. There was also a full set of snorkeling equipment available. Even those who were unsure or uncomfortable in the water were given a life…”

Review of the Similan Islands snorkeling trip from Phuket, with speedboat transfers, clear reefs, beaches, lunch, costs, and practical tips.
“To be honest, it's a tiring activity. You leave the hotel around 6 am and return around 9 pm. First, you travel for two hours to the airport, then you eat something there, and around 10 am you board the boat. You arrive at Simalanda around 11:30 am, but it was incredibly crowded. Then you go to the remaining three islands. The speedboat ride itself is exhausting with all that noise. So, I guess it's not very suitable for polite people like me 😬😬😉😉 But the staff's attention, information, and efforts were great. They took good care of us. Thank you so much for doing this job with a smile…”
