This year I went on a dolphin tour with SimSim for the fifth time. The most important thing for me is that SimSim's boats do NOT participate when several boats are circling dolphins to show them to the guests. SimSim does not promise dolphin sightings either. But I can say that I have ALWAYS seen dolphins on my previous tours. If too many other boats approached, the SimSim boat moved on. We were picked up at our hotel at 6 a.m. on time and the car was air-conditioned and clean. The driver drove very sensibly so that we were not afraid. There were 20 guests on board and we were all briefed first. Important! Don't touch or scare dolphins in any way. Meanwhile, the boat set off and breakfast was served. After breakfast we had our first dolphin sighting and were able to swim with six animals for a few minutes. At the second stop we were guests of two more animals. Later we made two more snorkeling stops at great spots. A delicious lunch was served in between. There was always time to rest and chat with the other guests and guides. During each snorkeling trip, two guides were in the water with us and another on the accompanying dinghy, who always had an eye on us and could have intervened immediately if there were any problems. Fortunately, that wasn't necessary. We felt safe at all times and could enjoy the dolphins and the various reefs without a care in the world. On the way back, there were biscuits and fruit. I can recommend the USB stick with photos and videos to everyone. I will definitely book the tour again, even though I have already done a few tours. All in all, it was a fantastic trip.

We had another trip with SimSim Reisen yesterday and were, as always, extremely satisfied. We booked the dolphin tour and were not disappointed. Everything is just right here, from the good communication (we already booked our trip from Germany) to the small groups on the yacht, the crew who are super warm, cheerful and helpful and super delicious food. But above all, the special experience and the protection of nature and animals. You are informed at the beginning, no animals are hunted and their behavior is observed. And thus unforgettable moments are created that you can enjoy with a clear conscience. I can recommend SimSim Reisen to anyone who wants to go on a trip in Hurghada. We lived a little outside of town, but that wasn't a problem.
You pay a few euros more than with the "beach providers" but believe me, it's worth every cent, because the crowds on the other tours are no fun. SimSim goes against the crowds, so yesterday we were completely alone at almost every place.
I'm even considering booking the tour again for this week ☺️🤍

For me, the best thing about my holiday in Egypt is the dolphin tours with Sim Sim! I spent a week in a great 5-star hotel in Makadi Bay and still went out to sea with Sim Sim almost every day. Great crew and the best care! They take everyone into consideration: from small children to experienced snorkelers, everyone gets their money's worth. The dolphins are not rushed here, they are treated very sustainably. No stress, no touching. If other boats appear, they move on to the next reef. This means that the group is usually almost alone with the animals. In between, there is great food from the on-board galley (kudos to the chef!). Another tip: as comfortable as it may be, it's better not to lie in the sun all day, that will give you a terrible sunburn!

It was the best experience I ever had! I visited egypt the 5th time and was on a lot of trips but I would never go with someone else than simsim. The crew was amazing. Also the communtication before and after was just perfect! They really know what they are doing, you feel save all the time. We had wonderful snorkling places and we could swim with 4 delphins, incredible how near they were. The food on the boat was so delicious! They made pictures and you could buy it for pauschal of 20€. Whats very cheap!
Everything was every cent worth it. Thank you so much for this incredible day! See you for sure again!

The tour was very well organized and the contact beforehand was friendly.
A copy of the driver's ID card and driver's license was even sent in advance so that he could be registered at the hotel.
The driver was very friendly and arrived 15 minutes early.
We booked a combination tour of Orange Bay and a dolphin tour.
We can highly recommend the tour because we were at Orange Bay very early in the morning before all the other tourist boats showed up. After Orange Bay we went to the Dolphins House.
We were able to swim with the dolphins all by ourselves with our group of inflatable boats. The kids had their own guide who was permanently at the swimming ring.
Boat crew, snorkeling guide, everyone was very friendly, helpful and explained everything really well.
The food on board was typical of the country but very tasty. Big praise again for the awesome falafel on board.

We have already done a dolphin tour with Sim Sim for the 4th time. As expected, we were once again able to enjoy a great day with the great SimSim team and lots of dolphins who were ready to play.
The pick-up from the hotel went really well and the driver was friendly. Then we set off to see the dolphins on time. As always, we were a small group of around 15 guests. The ship and the sanitary facilities were well maintained and clean. There was a delicious breakfast on the way to the dolphins.
For guests who didn't have snorkeling equipment, everything they needed was available.
At the first stop, the dolphins were a bit reluctant and could only be observed swimming past. Shortly afterwards, we were able to see a large group of around 25 animals. We were also able to admire a large eagle ray circling below us. But what we experienced at the third stop was just beautiful. A smaller group of small and large animals swam around us, dived down and came back towards us. They circled the snorkelers and came closer and closer, so that you could almost touch them. You lost track of time. When I looked at the clock, I realized that we had been in the water with the dolphins for about an hour. Afterwards, a varied and tasty lunch was served.
On the way back to the harbor, we stopped at a beautiful coral reef. In the afternoon, small snacks and pastries were served again.
Special praise also goes to the entire SimSim team for their excellent support and for the many tips and advice on snorkeling. Even those who were not quite so confident swimmers were able to admire the dolphins. A special guide looked after these guests and also had a lifebuoy in tow so that they could hold on if necessary.
Thank you for a wonderful day. See you next time.

We booked a dolphin tour with Sim Sim on the recommendation of friends.
Everything was wonderful and went smoothly, even though we had only booked the afternoon before.
The bus to pick us up was there on time and we were greeted very warmly on the boat.
It is a beautiful boat with plenty of space and shade. All the guides are very friendly and the food was excellent. Thanks to the entire crew from the boat driver to the cook.
Dolphins were spotted quickly and luckily they wanted to stay close to us and keep surfacing. Snorkeling with the dolphins was unique... and it was nice that they were not harassed in any way and had to want to swim close to people themselves.
The guides look after everyone very well in the water, and a boat stays nearby in case someone no longer wants to or can go.
Snorkeling on the coral reefs was also unique.
We recommend SimSim without reservation 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

We did a dolphin tour with SimSim Reisen for the third time and are thrilled again. The whole crew was extremely friendly and accommodating, which made the atmosphere on board very pleasant.
The food was once again excellent – a wide selection of fresh and delicious dishes that left nothing to be desired.
The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly swimming with the dolphins. Seeing these wonderful animals up close in their natural environment was an unforgettable experience. The guides also led us to breathtaking coral reefs that were just beautiful.
We can highly recommend SimSim travel and are already looking forward to our next tour!

We had a wonderful unforgettable day on the boat of SimSim🥰. Were there for the second time.
From organizing from Booking Referral to hotel pickup and back, everything is perfect. Breakfast and lunch and the afternoon snack are prepared with so much love and incredibly delicious, big praise to the chef 🫶🏼.
The whole crew starting from captain to the guids, all very accommodating, helpful, very polite and dedicated and always for fun to have. Top CREW🥰.
We were very lucky to see the first dolphins in the morning and could swim with them directly in the water. After that we drove on and met 15 dolphins even mom with baby. It was simply fantastic to watch these beings in their natural environment without stress, rushing or honking and they were also directly up for us and stayed for a very long time.
The 2 coral reefs for snorkeling that we also headed for are simply breathtaking. I can only emphasize again and again how beautiful the Red Sea is❤️.
I can definitely recommend SimSim to 1000%, because I myself was already there twice as mentioned and will do the dolphin tour with them again next year, because EVERYTHING just fits/is right here.
Respect for animals, nature and humans comes first.
You have to have experienced it yourself to feel it.
THANK YOU 🫶🏼SimSim and the crew for this unforgettable day and the dreamlike moments❤️

We have never experienced anything so amazing!
The most perfect team took us on a wonderful trip!
Throughout the whole tour, everyone was super nice and took very good care of my daughter! Whether we were looking for the dolphins or snorkeling on the reef, there was always a guide with a lifebuoy that my daughter could hold on to! There was even an accompanying boat!
All in all, it was a dream! Not too many participants, which meant an almost family atmosphere.
You could always feel that Simsim values the welfare of the animals. When too many other ships came, we stopped and went to another place so that the dolphins weren't so stressed!
The food on board was also very good, there was even fresh fruit and pastries
