Nefertari Boat Semi Submarine Snorkeling Sea Trip & Sea Food Lunch - Marsa Alam

Unfortunately, the tour was an absolute failure. It was obviously not about the experience of nature, but only about getting as much money out of the tourists as possible. I found it particularly shocking that the guide deliberately nudged a sea turtle only for it to show up for the group – a completely disrespectful and unacceptable treatment of a wildlife. Anyone who supports such a thing should not be allowed to offer tours in nature. Then there was an extremely pushy photographer who took pictures without asking – and when I didn’t want to buy one, he got really puny and said I stole his time. I never asked for his services. This tour was anything but authentic and left a bitter aftertaste. I can only strongly advise against this – especially for anyone who cares about the respectful handling of animals. Unfortunately, this tour was a complete disappointment. It was blatantly obvious that the focus was not on experiencing nature, but rather on squeezing as much money as possible out of the tourists. What shocked me most was the guide deliberately poking a sea turtle to force it to surface for the group – a totally disrespectful and unacceptable way to treat a wild animal. Anyone who supports this kind of behavior should not be offering nature tours. On top of that, there was a very pushy photographer who took photos without being asked – and when I didn’t want to buy any, he got visibly annoyed and told me I had been wasted his time. I never requested his services in the first place. This tour was far from authentic and left a very bitter aftertaste. I strongly advise against it – especially for anyone who cares about respectful and ethical wildlife experiences.

Nach einer völlig chaotischen Anreise, das geplante Fahrzeug ging kaputt, mit halsbrecherischen Aktionen des Ersatzfahrzeuges kamen wir fast pünktlich an. Auf dem Boot erwartete uns eine beispiellose Unorganisiertheit. Zuerst fand man unsere Buchung nicht, dann wollte man uns nicht auf das Oberdeck lassen, wir sollten drinnen sitzen, endlich oben angekommen war kein Platz um als Gruppe zusammen zu sitzen. Es war alles überfüllt, hektisch, laut und man war sich selbst überlassen. Erkältungen gab es auf Englisch, Polnisch und russisch. Unten am Glasboden haben wir eine ziemlich öde Unterwasserwelt gesehen. Das Highlight war ein Schwarm Quallen. Beim Schnorcheln sahen wir drei Schildkröten, das Riff vor Ort war gar nicht schön, Seekühe waren keine dort. Das Abendessen war ok. Alles in allem ein verlorener Urlaubstag und rausgeschmissenes Geld ! Jeder Schnorchelgang am Hausriff unseres Hotels war aufregender und schöner.

Highly priced, very full.... The "view" from the submarine area was very modest, murky and without any particular sightings, some nice jellyfish .... Snorkeling in a bay where 7 other boats were already anchored....There were many fins to see.... Particularly bad: the boat scrambled the "corals" twice.... Here reef and fish are broken!!!
