Fantastic day - I fully recommend using Go Shalibi for your snorkeling trip, our Captain for the day was Mahmoud who showed his skills and experience in difficult windy conditions. We were offered the opportunity to reschedule but as we are both strong swimmers and have experience snorkeling in rough seas so decided to go for it. We were taken to a small reef and then guided around it, Mahmoud accompanied us in the water and highlighted different species that may have been otherwise missed. Due to the windy conditions and rough seas it was advised we rested up on Magawish Island which just added to the fantastic experience as the journey from the reef to the island was thrilling as the waves crashed into our faces, we did not feel unsafe at any point though and we laughed it off, it felt as though someone was constantly throwing buckets of water at us. After a good hour relaxing in the Sun, and drying off, we went to another spot on the way back but the wind had increased and sea had become rougher so snorkeling was more challenging and the fish were staying deeper but this did not spoil the day. We will definitely be using Go Shalibi again and hope for calmer waters. FYI - book direct rather than through GYG, you will be better informed of trip times, hotel pick up and told true cost including taxes etc.

Go Shalibi delivered a fantastic experience - We had a fantastic experience even in challenging weather conditions. Our speedboat captain was Mahmoud and he took us to a lovely reef teeming with loads of different species and we had fun snorkelling before visiting Makidi island to dry off in the sunshine. He made our day very special and felt so comfortable with him, like we'd known him for years. He kept our post snorkeling hunger pangs at bay with a constant supply of fresh, homegrown fruit throughout our trip. After relaxing there we were off for more thrills at sea, watching the beautiful beaches and sites of Hurghada go by before stopping at another reef for more snorkeling. We booked via Get Your Guide who I cannot recommend as they did not give us any information other than a pick up time very late the night before. They failed to advise of port fees payable on arrival and did not liaise properly with us at all. We had the same with another trip, they take a fixing fee and do nothing but book you in with an operator which they do not divulge until a few hours before your trip. I would strongly suggest booking direct with Go Shalibi, with the lovely Ivanna, they are highly professional and once we were in contact with Go Shalibi, we got information via WhatsApp, rather than just "Don't worry you will be contacted by the operator soon" from GYG. I cant wait to go back in October, we will be using Go Shalibi, and looking forward to seeing Mahmoud again, maybe get to see dolphins (they were absent on our trip, weather conditions, nature etc cannot be guaranteed but there is always a good chance of seeing them). It was touch and go whether we could go on our scheduled trip due to unusually high winds and quite rough seas. Go Shalibi operate with very high safety standards and we only went out once we established it was safe out at sea and that my husband and I are experienced snorkellers and strong swimmers. Can thoroughly recommend Go Shalibi and the highly experienced Mahmoud, all Shalibi's boats are modern, safe and comfortable and deliver unforgettable experiences.

Dolphin watching with Captain Karim! - Our second trip with Go Shalebi was to go Dolphin Watching and we went with Captain Karim. Seeing the dolphins is not 100% guaranteed but Karim went out of his way to make sure that we would see them and we did!! It was the most surreal experience and it was all due to his expertise. The excursion was so much fun and we got to see dolphins, go snorkelling and visit Magawish Island. Captain Karim created an environment that was so much fun. We loved getting to know the other tourists on the boat and he had us feel very welcomed and fully immersed us into the experience.

Great experience - What a great experience! Nothing but compliments for these sweet and hardworking people! Prices of the excursions are very decent! Booking our trip went well. We were neatly informed by whatsapp with instructions. The accessibility of this organization is top notch. On arrival our private captain and diver/photographer were already waiting for us. What a wonderful sweet and helpful guys! They took us out into the Red Sea in search of dolphins. Together with our dive instructor we swam between the dolphins and we swam between the beautiful coral and colored fish. Unfortunately, our daughter fell ill, forcing us to return early. Everything was arranged. Even the extra transportation to take us back to the hotel. Big shout out to this organization and employees. See you next year!
