Real experiences from real travelers
The boat was spotless and the crew was so helpful. We saw so many fish at the Gordon Reef stop. Highly recommend booking through this platform!
We chose the $24 option and were pleasantly surprised. The lunch was delicious and the snorkeling in the Blue Lagoon was like being in an aquarium.
The pickup was 15 minutes late but the tour itself was amazing. The guides were professional and made sure everyone felt safe in the water.
I did my first intro dive at Tiran Island and it was magical. The instructor was patient and the coral was stunning. Easy booking process.
We upgraded to the luxury yacht experience and it was so peaceful compared to the larger boats. Great food and plenty of space to sunbathe.
Tiran Island is a must-see. The water is so clear you can see the bottom from the boat. Make sure to bring a waterproof phone case!
Booked via Viator through this site. Everything worked perfectly. The voucher was in my email instantly and the operator contacted me via WhatsApp for pickup.
Saw a turtle and a ray! The reefs around Tiran are much healthier than the ones right by the hotels. Definitely worth the day trip.
