Went with my girlfriend on a super sunny day – bring extra sunscreen, trust me. The ride out to Tiran Island took a while (felt a bit draggy tbh), but once we got there? The coral reefs were BRIGHT and full of those little blue fish. Crew was chill, but wish there was a bit more shade on the boat. Lunch was basic but hit the spot after all that swimming. Would’ve given 5 stars if not for the slow start at the marina – we waited nearly 45 min before getting on. Still, totally worth it for the views!

Such a BEAUTIFUL day! We booked last minute as a family of four (kids 7 and 10) and everything felt easy. The staff were genuinely kind to the kids, helping them with their snorkel masks and pointing out clownfish. Loved how relaxed the vibe was—no shouting or rush. The sea was unreal clear, like glass. I’m still dreaming about those colors. Would go again in a heartbeat.

Me and my brother did this trip on a windy afternoon. The waves were a bit much for us at first, but the skipper slowed down and checked we were ok. Snorkeling stops were great (saw a GIANT pufferfish!). Just wish there was a bit more time in the water at each stop – felt a bit rushed, but maybe that’s how it goes. Would recommend if you like marine life.

    It was a very unique 'experience. Mustafa was our instructor in the water baptism and the 10 minute dive. A really nice guy. He made me feel calm right away and because of his serenity I enjoyed everything very well. The boat ride was very nice, the food very good. Top day

    So, mixed feelings. Snorkeling itself was EPIC, but the boat felt pretty packed—guess that’s normal in August? Also, bring your own fins if you can, theirs were kinda worn. Lunch = decent, chicken was a bit dry. Crew did their best but seemed a little stressed. Saw a dolphin tho!!

    First time snorkeling and I was sooo nervous, but our guide Sam made it feel super safe. He swam beside me the whole time, even though I’m not a strong swimmer. The reef was GORGEOUS, so many fish! My friend got a bit seasick but the crew brought ginger tea for her, that was sweet. Long day but totally worth it.
