Worth a try. - This trip is worth every penny you pay for it. However citing dolphins is totally your luck. Lunch will be provided . You would be takes to snorkeling two times and in the remaining time you can snorkel if you would like in the prescribed area. They do exactly what they promise but be careful about the guys who take pictures , it’s a separate company but do not pay more than 20/25 euros to them and that too after seeing your pictures first . I would also like to give a big thank you to the organiser who was patient available for all of my queries.

A perfect and magical day - We had a wonderful day. The boat Yasmina is comfortable, very clean with large shaded areas s. Team a was very attentive throughout the day.! Just arrived in the water, the encounter with dolphins was magical. These fantastic moments will be part of our most beautiful memories of our stay in Marsa Alam. Corals and fish are beautiful. Thanks again for everything and for diving 14 meters down to get my mask back...

Samadai 🐬 house - This is 1 hour boat trip from the marina at Marsa Alam , South of Egypt. You can see Happy dolphins in their natural habitat into this conservatory. On the "El Prince Ahmed" boat you can find caring staff, professional guides, good cook and hosts. The boat trip starts at 10 am and back to the marina by 4pm. It has snorkeling gear and it is included in the package together with the guide , food, drinks، and cheerful vibes. You can do diving as well provided that you are booked with an instructor and they lead on this activity on the boat. It was 💯% safe and entertaining. The price is € 65 per person. You can use Alladino activity and transfer agent for booking Mob No. +20 1007374725 Highly recommended 👌 . Jailan a sea lover from Egypt.

Very beautiful reef with great underwater world - We enjoyed the trip to the dolphin house in wonderful weather, the yacht was well maintained, we had a very nice guide who always told us when and where to meet his group. We were split into several groups and went to the first snorkeling stop with dolphins. We had hoped for a little more, some tail fins were visible in the distance, after about 20 minutes a group of dolphins approached, but only vaguely visible. I think you just have to be lucky, they are not zoo animals, which is a good thing. And the noise, the kicking, whistling and screaming of the many snorkelers in the water... you can understand why the animals don't come closer... The second stop at the reef was very, very nice, we swam around the reef for about 45 minutes, saw beautiful corals and many colorful fish, schools of fish, etc., a beautiful underwater world. Our guide always swam ahead, always tried to show us immediately when he saw something interesting, always with a lifebuoy in case someone lost their strength. You have to be amazed at how exhausting it is, despite the life jacket, which is mandatory! The reef was really a great experience, the trip out to sea was very beautiful, everyone tried very hard to make it a nice trip. Cold drinks, cola, water and tea were also available all day. Food was also provided, there was a delicious lunch, chicken, rice, pasta, salad etc.... I have to say, however, that my husband and I got severe diarrhea the next day, which didn't just last two days, as is often the case in Egypt... but over a week... the usual medication ANTINAL didn't help at all... The last 5 days of our 2-week vacation were over and it wasn't until a few days after we got home that we felt well again. It definitely wasn't the hotel's fault; we ate and drank there for 8 days and there were no problems. We don't want to assume anything here, we just want to advise you to be careful about what you eat on a trip.

Day with dolphins and a turtle surprise - At first it seemed too sharp to me than other groups, and so the dolphins ran away. But then the instructors managed to ensure that we separated ourselves from the other groups so that we could then enjoy the dolphins. We also managed to see a giant turtle, a nice coral reef but not too full of fish. Super qualified staff, very nice and the Monkey is a wonderful boat thanks for the great experience.

Only worth it if you are happy not seeing dolphins - We booked this tour with Red Sea offers after reading all the reviews carefully on TripAdvisor. We had originally booked - and paid - for Sataya but we were informed the day before that there had been a “problem” with our booking and they could offer us a refund or book Samadai. We chose to trust and did the latter. We were assigned to a big boat, four decks, with very professional and organized crew that wore t shirts for Opal Tours. They spoke an impressive array of languages. The equipment on board was plenty and adequate. The boarding of the boat from Marsa Alam required getting on a rubber dinghy from a site filled with trash that was floating in the water. Despite leaving the hotel at 7.30 and getting to port at 8.15 the boat didn’t actually set sail until 11, we were told later this was due to “issues with the coast guard” once on site we were divided in smaller groups and taken to the reef. Absolutely no dolphins in site. Later a boat crew member told us dolphins were not likely to be spotted at that time and place because they do not like hot water and in the afternoon move to deeper waters to feed. It remains unclear to us if it was at all possible to see them and we just had bad luck. The lunch on board was very good and adequate quantity. The reefs were pretty, not better nor worse than any other reef we saw during our ten day stay, including the one in front of our hotel. The only person certainly from Red Sea Offers we interacted with was on WhatsApp, everyone else was wearing clothing from other tour operators.

Not to do! - Don't do this excursion with Fantazia diving! It was a terrible, disorganized excursion, we snorkeled among the exhaust of other boats. Absolutely not recommended.
