What an amazing day! Swimming with dolphins in the stunning reefs of Sataya was an unforgettable experience. The boat crew was friendly, lunch was delicious, and the snorkeling spots were incredible. I highly recommend this trip.
This was a truly unique experience. All of the tour guides were excellent, and Asem stood out in particular for his passion and dedication to his work.
This experience was truly remarkable. Swimming with dolphins was an incredibly moving moment for me. The staff were extremely friendly and organized everything flawlessly. The small buffet provided was also very enjoyable. The only drawback, which no one can change, is the distance. My hotel was in Port Ghalib, so it took about 2.5 hours to reach the departure point and then another 2 hours by boat to get to Sataya Reef. Of course, the return trip is the same. I admit it was tiring, but the chance to swim with the dolphins made the long journey completely worthwhile. I would definitely recommend this experience!
The team on the boat was fantastic and very friendly.
