Orange Bay and snorkeling
Mar 2023 • Solo
Trip to Orange Bay, snorkeling was an amazing experience.
The team took really good care for all the participants.
Amazing colours, wonders of the red sea, crystal clear water...
We had a great fun on board and snorkeling, great egyptian lunch.
The stuff was pleasant and welcoming, and really helping around everything.

Amazing dolphin trip
Apr 2017 • Family
We had heard so much about SimSim from a friend that my son & I decided to take a trip with them rather than go through the hotel & travel agent recommendation. We were not disappointed! We were looked after so well, on the day we chose for the trip the rest of the guests were German but that did not matter. Everything was explained to us in English & if anything I felt like I got special treatment! Every time there was a dolphin sighting the team made sure I was one of the first in the water with them & I had my own guide Kareem for snorkelling in the afternoon who took me to all the best areas. The day was fantastic, to be surrounded by dolphins in an open sea is the best feeling in the world. The food & drink facilities were good & the fact that Samir went the extra mile to find dolphins away from other boats made our experience even more special. My son enjoyed the day as much as me & I would highly recommend this trip to anyone. I will certainly be doing it again. It was simply one of the best days of my life - thank you!

Nice day trip to see dolphins
Jul 2017 • Family
Nice day trip to see dolphins in the red sea.

Pick up from hotel on time - good

Nice boat

Good staff

Nice food, but it would be nice with more of healthy snacks like fruits.

We saw a lot of dolphins and where very close to them - a really good experience

DOWNSIDE: People are allowed to SMOKE on board !!! It's really nasty to sit and have a cigarette as a non smoker. I don't wanna have lung cancer...

Best crew in Egypt
Sep 2019 • Couples
I can highly recommend SimSim. Samir and his crew are amazing. It's an early start but well worth it, because you are out on the Red Sea before all of the other tourists and they make sure that everyone is safe when out snorkelling- always with a guide and small boat. The service on board, breakfast and lunch is perfect. Got to see so many dolphins and was lucky to see them swim right underneath me. Big thumbs up from me. Thank you from Sharon & Daniel

Expected good but got excellent
Apr 2017 • Family
Wow. What an awesome day. We got to play with the dolphins who were not in the least bit fazed by our presence. The operators are so courteous towards the dolphins. Sim Sim were fantastic and took care of every want. Plenty of food and drink available onboard. We were picked up from our hotel on time and everything was as we were advised. We went hoping for good but left having experienced an excellent day and with memories for life.

Amazing expoerince and excellent professional trip!
Dec 2016 • Family
After doing a lot of research I do believe that SIm Sim are one of the best around. We went on a trip with SimSim on 26th December and it was fantastic and I would say good value for money too. We were blessed to have the opportunity to swim with wild dolphins in the beautiful Red Sea and also made some stops to do snorkelling. Samir and his amazing and highly professional team really took care of us and the rest of the group. We had a delicious spread of food for breakfast and lunch and snacks and drink throughout the day. The hospitality form Samir and his team was really lovely and you can see that they all love what they do and love the Dolphins. I would highly recommend SimSim if you are looking for a truly magical, professional and personal experience. Thank you so much for a wonderful time on your beautiful boat with delicious food and fantastic company! :-)

Swimming with wild dolphins!!
Apr 2016 • Couples
We found out about SimSim from our hotels facebook page as many guests had used them before.
They collected us from our hotel and we drove to Hurgharda marina to the boat where we were welcomed by the lovely Samir and crew.
The boat is beautiful and we felt very safe. After setting sail, we were served with a delicious breakfast...loved the pancakes and Nutella!
The guys were constantly on the look out for dolphins and seeing them for the first time is an experience we will never forget.
We swam with them at several stop offs, it was awesome!
Lunch was served and we had more opportunities to swim again.
To top off the day, the dolphins gave us a great show by jumping and tail slapping, then they swam along the boat on our return to the marina.
It was one if the best days of my life and we will have to do this again in the future.
Thanks to Samir and the crew....and your English was very good :)

The early bird catched the worm!
Apr 2016 • Family
The early snorkelers certainly do catch the worm or in this case "Dolphins!"
We got picked up from hotel at 5.15 in the morning, taken to Hurghada marina to climb aboard "SimSim". We had breakfast on board which was very nice and within about 2hrs the staff had found a pod of Dolphins. We all went straight into the water and swam with 3 dolphins for the next hour. Awesome isn't enough to describe the beautiful creatures. They came up really close. We numerous stops to snorkel & each time we dolphins to swim with & watch.
An outstanding day with an outstanding company.
Thank you SimSim for trip never to be forgotten.
If you go with SimSim you WILL NOT BE DISAPOINTED!!

Awesome!!!
Oct 2015 • Couples
A friend recommend Sim Sim to us and when we were all in Egypt (October) we went on the Dolphin Trip. I am completely speechless at how amazing the day was. Firstly Sim Sim are the only company now we will use as the boat trip it self was fantastic. The food was first class the best we have had on a boat. The boat was very clean and safe. The staff were amazing, friendly and happy to help. When we were in the water we have never felt so safe as the guide was first class but also the dingy was always visible if you needed help.

Finally the dolphins wow the experience was something I never thought I would experience. We knew before hand that you are not guaranteed to see dolphins as you have to remember they are wild. We saw/swam with dolphins on 4 separate occasions. On the last occasion they were very playful and a very large group of dolphins. The snorkelling stop was also very good and saw different fish than what we have not seen before (Stonefish). We were very lucky to see a Manta Ray which was breath-taking. It just glided through the waters so elegant.

We are going to Egypt again next year (6th time) and cant wait to book a couple boats trips with Sim Sim. Like I said earlier we wouldn't use another company now as they are first class perfection.

Thank you all so much for the best day or our lives (Danke) and look forward to seeing you next summer

Amazing Wild Dolphin Swim
Jan 2023
I had a dolphin tour on 1/13/23. This is one of the best dedicated dolphin swim operator (crew and back office team) there is in Hurghada! I have joined other boats and Liveaboard scuba diving many places around the world, always wanted to stay with dolphins longer than few minutes. They are the only team who fulfilled my expectations. They were confident and knowledgeable in their search, once found took greatest care guiding and protecting the swimmers. We were close arm’s length to the dolphins yet they stayed with us. Sharif was a great free diver and lots of close up video of the dolphins so we can keep for precious memories of being with such amazing ocean mammals. I would definitely join them again when returning to Hurghada and highly recommend them to anyone.
