Excellent family day - A very good organization with about 2h boat ride until arriving at the dolphin natural park. The ride is quite bearable as there are places in the sun to sunbathe and places covered with the sea wind to support the trip. Once there, many dolphins are present and stay with tourists long enough. Even if there are people, once in the water, you don't realize the present world. Lifejackets are not mandatory but are available, as are all snorkelling equipment. The meal is absolutely delicious and presented as a mini buffet. The second dive is also very pretty with a very nice coral reef. A photographer is present on the boat for aesthetic photos and in the water to capture magical moments spent with dolphins. Thank you for a wonderful day.

Wonderful experience - It was a great trip to Sataya Dolphin House. We have seen a lot of dolphines and had much time to swim with them. The crew of Marsa Waves Acivities was very friendly and helpful. We had just a great day and recommend the trip to Sataya with Marsa Waves Activities for all, who love Dolphines.

Awesome experience! - This activity is totally worth it if you're in Marsa Alam. It might be a long trip from the hotel but still well organized.

An impressive experience in many ways - A great experience with dolphins and many colorful fish on the reef with super attentive care on the ship but also on the sea. Unfortunately a point deduction because of the transfer in a minibus without head restraints, seat belt and defective sliding door, a driver who drove very fast and wrongly taken guests in a hotel, which gave us a very long journey.

A long day, beware road trip vehicle to get to the port. - An experience for sure, but a very long day so will not suit all. We had a very early pickup but didn’t quite appreciate the very long road trip to get to the boat. I think the road trip would have been better if the transport had been in a better quality of mini bus. The roads are appalling in places, made worse by the lack of shock absorbers, so beware. The actual boat trip and dolphin experience was as good as we imagined it, but overall we would not recommend due to the 6 hour road trip we had to endure.

Absolutely negative, not recommended - Point 1: the overall shipping was very nice Point 2: The offer is sold with only max. 25 people on board, sounds good for now. Absolutely negative that 17 boats lay on site, each with 30+ people, after that you were taken out with dinghies, the dolphins were then circled by the dinghies and you had to immediately and very quickly into the water to see some. If 500+ people jump into the water with shouting and screaming at once, then this is just absolutely bad and far from good towards the dolphins as they are fully stressed and take flight. Point 3: some providers pick up their customers by bus directly at the boat, with some other providers you have to walk about 15 minutes over sand to the bus in the highest heat. On the way are begging children of the Bedouins from whom one should buy something. If you give them an apple or something else then the tour guide will tell you what to do, you should not support this because the begging from the touris is a made problem. Yes People from the tour operators, then just pick up your customers directly from the boat and don’t lead us past it. Because the problem is her own. And for the benefit of all dolphins, such a tour should be discontinued. Conclusion: absolutely negative and should not be supported.

please do not support this - I am terribly disappointed that I chose this trip. We were told that the presence of dolphins would be a matter of chance. I didn't expect them to be there and just saw it as a resort excursion. There were dolphins on the spot, which would have been great if they weren't being chased by several boats, making them swim in circles to satisfy paying tourists. I don't understand how everyone is so short-sighted and didn't see that. My partner was on a boat because he can't swim, and he told me the whole story of how people intentionally approached the dolphins on boats to change their direction. A bunch of boats came to see the pod. I am terribly disappointed that I was part of this. For those who are unselfish and care about nature, please don't come here and support this.
