Hurghada Speedboat Delfinskådning och Snorkling

We went on the speed boat trip and the crew were amazing, bacary was captain and basil was the snorkel guide. They did their upmost to make sure we had the best time possible and made sure we seen the dolphins and got to swim with them numerous times. This was the highlight of the day and the crew really topped off an unforgettable day out. Would highly recommend, one of the best experiences of my life !

I went on a snorkelling trip and swimming with dolphins in July 2026 with go Shalabi. My captain was bacary and the guide was basil and they were absolutely brilliant! We couldn’t fault them at all, they took us out to see the dolphins and we jumped in and swam with them several times getting a great close up view of them. It was amazing and bacary and basil went the extra mile to make sure we got the best experience and i would highly recommend booking with go Shalabi. The trip was amazing and the crew made the trip top class. It was the highlight of my holiday by far and a once in a lifetime experience. James - July 2026

This trip was one of my favourite things i’ve done ever. Our two guides/ captains were AMAZING - Mostafa/ Mufasa was great and very reassuring. There was 8 of us in my family who went and we saw the dolphins, went snorkelling and saw the beautiful corals and fish. Then we went to white beach which was amazing clear waters and sand where you could stand up in the middle of the sea. Provide fruit platter and drinks and even let us have a go at driving the speedboat. Felt very safe the whole time. Transfers from hotel was efficient and easy. For this price it is a MUST Would Recommend 10 times!!!

Very good experience. Punctual pickup, everything just as booked. Our guide Tito and our captain were very good people, very attentive at all times. Highly recommended, a 10!

We had an amazing snorkeling day and cannot recommend this trip highly enough! Bashir and our captain went above and beyond to make sure we were happy, comfortable, and safe throughout the entire experience. They took such great care of us and made the day truly unforgettable. The snorkeling was incredible. The coral reefs were beautiful, the fish were stunning, and the opportunity to swim with dolphins was an absolute dream come true. We also really appreciated the delicious fruit platter and refreshing beverages provided during the day. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. A huge thank you to Bashir and our captain for their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail. If you are considering booking this excursion, do it! We hope you are lucky enough to have Bashir and our captain looking after you too. We would love to come back again someday! Jemma and Jamie

The minimum rating allowed is 1 star. If half a star were an option, that’s what this tour would receive. The day started badly and only got worse. We were kept waiting for 30 minutes in the blistering sun before departure, then once on the boat, we waited yet another 30 minutes with no shade, no air conditioning and temperatures around 35°C. The only reason this review isn’t even harsher is because we eventually found dolphins and were able to swim with them. That was genuinely the highlight of the day and briefly redeemed the experience. Unfortunately, everything after that went downhill fast. We spent hours in the sun with no food, drinks, or water proactively offered. At the final stop, which was advertised as a snorkelling location but wasn’t really suitable for snorkelling, we were left floating around while the crew spent 20–25 minutes preparing a platter of stale, flavourless fruit. Most people were too hot, tired, and frustrated to even eat it. When everyone agreed they were ready to return, the captain instead made additional unnecessary stops, including one to show a shipwreck and another to chat with relatives on nearby boats while taking photos and videos. By that point, everyone just wanted the tour to end. To top it all off, when we finally returned to the marina, our transport wasn’t waiting for us. We were forced to walk another 10 minutes in the heat to find the vehicle. Overall, this was easily the worst boat excursion we’ve ever been on. Poor organisation, excessive waiting, lack of basic hospitality, and complete disregard for guests’ comfort. The dolphins were fantastic, but they weren’t enough to save what was otherwise a very disappointing experience.

As always, the activities are incredibly enjoyable. As always, a friendly team with a great atmosphere throughout the trip and the activity. I highly recommend GO Shalabi. As someone traveling alone, I find the activities always very welcoming. A fantastic day! They took the time to search for dolphins, even though it's not always easy because they're in their natural habitat. A magnificent day from beginning to end. Thank you to the whole team. The boat is well-maintained, the staff ensures everything runs smoothly, and the meal on board is well-served🙏🏼🤍❤️

Do not book! Taxi did not show up and when we contacted the Go Shalbi, we got told the trip had been cancelled. Very poor communication as they hadn’t contacted us or Viator to let us know it had been cancelled. Very disappointing

My partner booked this trip for me as a birthday gift, we had a private speedboat with dolphin watching, 2 snorkelling stops and a stop on Bali Beach (I think that was the name of it). The speedboat was super fun to start off with, we absolutely loved the wind and the bouncing on the waves. Our captain and guide were very very accommodating to us. We started off by trying to spot some dolphins, and we managed to see quite a few!! The captain got us up close enough to see very clearly but wasn’t chasing the dolphins or frightening them like some of the other boats were. The guide checked we were happy to move on before we left and made sure we felt we had seen enough. We went to the first snorkel spot and the guide helped us sort the equipment out. The water was completely clear, we snorkelled for more than half an hour and saw the most beautiful reefs with loads and loads of fish. The guide was filming loads on his go pro and making sure we were okay. He was taking loads of videos of us as we were snorkelling too. Then we got out, went to the next spot and we had cold bottled water as we were on the way. Again, we saw loads more fish and reef and the water was just beautiful. After that, we went to the little beach island which was beyond gorgeous. The guide had a professional camera and offered to do a little photoshoot with us. He walked up and down the beach with us and we had a little chat. When we got back on the boat, we had loads of really fresh fruit to snack on. Then, back in the marina, they allowed us to snorkel and see a shipwreck! We paid around £80 GBP for all the photos and videos (there were hundreds), you could probably haggle them down but we personally thought that was a fair price and paid part cash and part card. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this company to anyone thinking about a boat trip.

Went on a trip to snorkel and see dolphins We enjoyed the whole day from pick up being on time, snorkelling seeing lot of fish and coral, island stop and seeing dolphins it was all amazing Thanks again to Tito and Usan Would recommend over and over
