We saw dolphins twice, also here, being a small group on a small boat is much better, because we were able to get up close. The boat was luxurious and nice, and charging along the coastline at those speeds just feels very fun and exciting! Our guides were super nice and helpful with seeing the best sealife. Rounding up the day with a quick visit to the “Egyptian Maldives” beach was also fun. All in all, can absolutely recommend, especially if you only want to…”
