Beautiful day on a cruise - It was a beautiful day on a comfortable ship, tasty food and good snorkel. Everything was well organized and it was an opportunity to see dugong and sea turtles. Kids can watch the corals and fish downstairs through the glass. I can definitely recommend this to all age groups as it was safe and sheltered from the sun.

Recommended - This half-day trip far exceeded our expectations. A great boat with a good crew. First we saw the underwater world from the boat, then we went into the water to snorkel according to our ability. Simply fantastic. At the end there was a very tasty meal, vegetarian if you wanted. We are snorkeling beginners and everything was perfect for us.

An amazing experience - It was excellent, I especially enjoyed the snorkeling, the instructor was fantastic, he always kept an eye on us, when he saw something interesting, he pointed it out to us. Of course, I also have to praise the cook, the dinner was excellent. And last but not least, the entire program, in the lower part of the ship, where there are windows through which we watched corals and fish, turtles and, of course, manatees. Every time we saw something interesting, the captain slowed down so that we could view the natural phenomenon. And I could not forget to mention the mezzanine, where we had the opportunity to feel the role of pharaohs and their wives. A really amazing experience worth it and if you are afraid of snorkeling, don't worry they will give you life jackets and take good care of you, you can count on them.

Wonderful experience with bitter anding - We went on this trip with family. Trip with oportunity to see underwatter sea world from glass submarine even for nonswimmers and in dry clothes. We saw more turtles than expected and also found the sea cow when snorkeling! Wonderful experience. Also snorkeling guide was great. After snorkeling there was lovely dinner with sea view. You can choose from seafood and chicken. The reason why I am giving 3/5 is agressive approach from photographers on the boat. Even if we dind´t want the photoshoot they focused on our group and at the end of the trip we had to deny offers of photos, we didnt wat at first place, at least 3 times. We were disscussing the other day with another group from hotel and they didn´t realy experinced something like this. For me - realy nice experience, but I won´t go again.

Negative feedback on the photographer on board - It was a very beautiful boat, but a very negative impression was the photographer who was very present and his presence was annoying, making it difficult to understand the information provided by the boat staff. Forced people to have their picture taken and at the end he of course also wanted to sell this song, but did not see any results, only the price. After we had neatly indicated that we were not interested in Wattsapp photos for 45 euros. Changed his mood. It's a shame that these kinds of people are allowed to ride along on these kinds of excuses. Don't expect too much from the food, luckily we got back to the resort in time to have dinner.

A dream experience - We left about 4 km from the port. And we moved in one place. We saw less fish from the submarine than at our hotel. The moment you enter the second floor, eager photographers will pull you close and dress you in pharaonic robes. While snorkeling, you have to fight with 20 other people to spot the sea animals. When you mix into another group from another ship, no one is looking for you. And as a bonus, the photographers robbed us of 70 euros for the photos. And as a cherry on top, the curse of Nefertari hit us the next day in the form of acute diarrhea in several people.
