“The desert safari was the highlight of our holiday”
Perfectly organised from pickup to drop-off. The quad biking was so much fun, the guides were friendly and safety-conscious, and the dinner under the stars was magical. Highly recommend for families.

“Swam with wild dolphins at Sataya — unforgettable”
We saw a huge pod of dolphins and the crew was incredibly respectful of the animals. The boat, the lunch, the snorkeling — everything was first class. Worth the early start.

“Turtles at Abu Dabbab — kids loved it”
Easy, relaxed morning and we saw three turtles within twenty minutes. Great for beginners and children. The guide was patient and helpful with our nervous swimmer.

Long day but so worth it. Our Egyptologist guide was brilliant and made the tombs come alive. Comfortable vehicle and a good lunch. A must-do from Marsa Alam.

“Fantastic diving, small group, great guide”
Two beautiful dives with only four people in our group. The reef was stunning and we saw a turtle and a reef shark. Equipment was in great condition. Will book again.
