Well-organized excursion. We made 2 stops for snorkeling, which were really very interesting. Very large and well-maintained boat. Friendly and competent team, and adequate lunch. Unfortunately, there were problems with the driver; he did not have our names, and we waited more than half an hour beyond the scheduled time. Overall, the excursion is recommended.
Thank you for your kind review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the snorkeling stops, the spacious and well-maintained boat, and the friendly and professional team. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience with the transfer and the delay caused by the driver. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and helps us improve our service. We're pleased that, despite this issue, you had a wonderful experience and would recommend the excursion. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in Sharm El Sheikh! Best regards, The Egyptra Team
Nice; friendly, skilled, and professional sailors; I recommend this trip especially for water immersion.
Caro Ospite, grazie mille per la tua recensione e per aver condiviso la tua esperienza. Siamo felici di sapere che hai apprezzato la gita e che hai trovato il nostro equipaggio simpatico, professionale e disponibile. Ci fa particolarmente piacere sapere che l'esperienza in acqua e le immersioni siano state uno dei momenti più belli della giornata. Grazie per la tua raccomandazione e per aver scelto Egyptra. Speriamo di accoglierti nuovamente per un'altra splendida avventura sul Mar Rosso. Cordiali saluti, Il Team Egyptra
Unfortunately, it started with the inconvenience of an extra 5 euros; when paying by card, I found myself with 20 euros more, which, after my insistence, they refunded me in Egyptian pounds. Negative note: the drinks. In an unsightly dispenser. No sealed bottles.
Grazie per aver condiviso il tuo feedback. Ci dispiace sapere che alcuni aspetti dell’esperienza non abbiano soddisfatto le tue aspettative. Per quanto riguarda il pagamento con carta, ci scusiamo per il disagio iniziale e siamo lieti che la differenza ti sia stata restituita. Apprezziamo inoltre le tue osservazioni sulle bevande a bordo: i nostri dispenser vengono utilizzati per ridurre il consumo di plastica monouso, ma comprendiamo che alcuni ospiti possano preferire bottiglie sigillate. I commenti dei nostri clienti sono molto importanti per noi e ci aiutano a migliorare costantemente i nostri servizi.
A new and comfortable boat, friendly crew members, we made two very nice snorkeling stops... and the Island that isn't there was fabulous. Perhaps due to the season, there weren't many people.
Cara Scirlisa, Grazie mille per la tua recensione! Siamo felici che tu abbia apprezzato la nostra barca, l’equipaggio e le splendide soste per lo snorkeling. È meraviglioso sapere che White Island ti abbia conquistata con la sua bellezza unica. Speriamo di accoglierti nuovamente a bordo per un’altra indimenticabile esperienza nel Mar Rosso!
Fantastic experience from hotel pickup through to drop off. Each stop was very beautiful and with a lovely boat crew and lunch service.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you had a fantastic experience from the hotel pickup to the drop-off. It's great to know that you enjoyed the beautiful stops, the boat trip, the lunch, and the service provided by our crew. Your kind words mean a lot to us. We hope to welcome you back soon for another unforgettable adventure in Sharm El Sheikh. Best regards, The Egyptra Team.
Positive things are written by everyone. I focus on what I believe needs to be reviewed. Language: they sponsor a guide in Italian... but there is very little Italian involved. English and Russian without problems. They "force" you to leave a Trustpilot review on board and ask you to photograph it with their phone (absurd) during the return trip to the port. Really bad and everyone is turning up their noses. Insufficient cleaning of the masks. Washing and sanitizing are reduced to a simple bath in water and a bit of soap in a bucket, where they wash them all. Sufficient food, nothing special. There are a lot of people and boats doing this trip, so don't think it's something for a few. They show you one or two small barriers, very close to each other. Then White Island and return to the port. At least you really know what this excursion offers. The photos on TripAdvisor are purely for advertising. You will not see this.
Grazie Fabio per il tuo feedback. Ci fa piacere che tu abbia comunque trascorso una buona esperienza. Per quanto riguarda la lingua, il nostro team cerca sempre di assistere ospiti di diverse nazionalità nel miglior modo possibile. Le recensioni vengono richieste solo su base volontaria e ci dispiace se hai percepito insistenza. Sull’igienizzazione dell’attrezzatura seguiamo procedure quotidiane dedicate alla pulizia. Essendo una delle escursioni più richieste di Sharm El Sheikh, è normale trovare altre barche nelle stesse aree turistiche. Apprezziamo il tuo punto di vista e continueremo a lavorare per migliorare il servizio.
The trip was nice, the water and the island beautiful however as it involved both snorkeling and scuba (at an extra charge not mentioned on booking) there was a lot of time waiting for the scuba to finish. The food was nice considering where they cook it. The drinks were poor, warm water and warm coke or sprite. The staff were friendly and obviously enjoy their work. This is the first boat trip we've been on where life jackets were not compulsory and not enough for everyone and no noodles for non confident swimmers. We had a lovely day though and the low price was reflected in what was offered
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the beautiful sea, island, and overall atmosphere of the trip, as well as the friendliness of our staff. We also appreciate your comments regarding the timing between snorkeling and scuba activities, as well as your notes about drinks and swimming equipment. Your feedback is valuable and will be reviewed carefully to improve comfort and organization on board. We’re happy to hear that you still had a lovely day overall and hope to welcome you again for an even better experience in the future.
Good experience, very nice guys, very good food, highly recommended the experience, to put a but we stayed very little time on the island, otherwise very well
Muchas gracias por su comentario. Nos alegra saber que disfrutó de la experiencia, de la comida y de la amabilidad del equipo. También agradecemos su recomendación. Tomamos en cuenta su observación sobre el tiempo en la isla y la compartiremos con el equipo para seguir mejorando nuestros tours. Esperamos volver a recibirle pronto para otra gran experiencia en Sharm El Sheikh.
If i want to do 10 mins more scuba diving, that costs money too( i can understand) but honestly , it'd be one thing if i actually got to enjoy it- but no. i end up spending almost of time underwater taking photos... and then the photos cost 100 euros..... what's even funnier is that the ones taken on the boat cost over 100 euros..............
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the diving experience overall and appreciate your honest comments. We’re sorry to hear that the photography pricing and timing affected your experience. We understand how important it is to clearly communicate all optional services, especially when guests are trying to fully enjoy their time underwater rather than focusing on photos. Your point about transparency and balance between experience and photography has been noted and will be shared with the relevant team for review and improvement. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve our service for future guests, and we hope you might consider joining us again for a better and smoother experience next time.
