Батискаф в Хургаде

February 15, 2025

Это была наша первая экскурсия с Санрайс вояж . Сын в восторге. Для детей это единственная возможность увидеть прекрасный и удивительный подводный мир изнутри. В Египте первый раз, как обычно гид от туроператора пугал экскурсиями с улицы, а цены то у туроператора мягко говоря высокие. На свой страх и риск взяли экскурсии через сайт. Переписку вели через Ватсап. Все прошло хорошо. Забрали от отеля на минивене. Привезли в порт. Батискаф был в виде 2 палубного катера. Как и обещали плавали возле рифов, потом купались в море. Спасибо Санрайс вояж . Буду рекомендовать.

Советую воспользоваться услугами этой компании.

Отдыхали в Шарме в декабре 2021. Экскурсии покупали в санрайз Вояж. Остались довольны ценой и качеством. Советую воспользоваться услугами этой компании. На сайте SUNRISEVOYAGE.COM указаны способы связаться с сотрудниками. Я общалась через WhatsАpp на русском языке. Отвечают очень быстро. Описание экскурсий в целом соответствует действительности. Цена совпадает с указанной на сайте. Все три поездки были организованы очень хорошо. Забирали на экскурсию от отеля в точно назначенное время. Все экскурсии за пределы Шарма сопровождаются полицейским конвоем. На экскурсии «Рас-Мохаммед и белый остров на яхте» были 7 декабря 2024 года. Остались очень довольны. Легкая и приятная экскурсия. Не пугайтесь расстояния от яхты до белого острова, на самом деле плыть минуты три, остальное расстояние пройдете пешком, только возьмите тапочки, т.к. о кораллы можно повредить ноги. Рядом будет находиться сопровождающий со спасательным кругом. Имейте ввиду, что алкоголь забирают на хранение на входе в порт. Лучше не брать морскую экскурсию в пятницу и субботу – говорят, много местных отдыхает.

Рыб и кораллов много видели, это действительно райское место!!! Мне друзья посоветовали!! Если вы не были в Рас-Мохаммеде, то вы не видели красоту подводного мира красного моря». Чесно, красота нереальная. Спасибо Sunrise voyage за экскурсию!! Советую!!
