Egypt Snorkeling Liveaboard – 21-30 May 2024

 

An unparalleled Red Sea snorkeling safari! Some of the main attractions of this trip were dugongs, dolphins, and sea turtles, which we easily observed near the surface, but we also had the chance to encounter reef sharks, tuna, Napoleon, guitarfish, and a manta ray. At each coral reef we visited, we were greeted by a kaleidoscope of tropical fish and breathtaking underwater landscapes. Next departures to this destination: 2-11 September 2025 (limited availability) and 16-25 September 2025 (available).

"Every moment on (and off) board was thoroughly enjoyed. Snorkeling offers a very natural, direct encounter with the underwater world, and it feels quite magical, especially when swimming with dolphins or a sea turtle. Coupled with being gently rocked on a comfy boat for six days, away from civilization, surrounded by like-minded people, and stargazing at night, it was the most relaxing and recharging holiday I've ever spent."

~Jennifer (Germany)

"This trip to some of the best reefs in southern Egypt, if not the best, fulfilled my expectations: an exceptional house reef, vibrant and diverse offshore snorkeling locations, a great team always available, and a friendly group of enthusiasts! If there is a trip to choose to discover Egyptian reefs and their marine life, it's definitely this one!"

~Chakib, Paris (France)

"The concept of a liveaboard dedicated to snorkelers with suitable sites is in itself exceptional. The organizers not only prepare the trip with the local guides, but they also participate and ensure that the trip runs smoothly and adjust the cruise while it is ongoing. We had a wonderful time underwater with a lot of freedom, but also on board with a cheerful atmosphere, all while keeping safety in the background. I will be back."

~Philippe, Toulouse (France)

"The Egypt Liveaboard delivered incredibly consistent and simply fabulous snorkeling opportunities around vibrant healthy reefs hosting huge numbers and varieties of fish as well as the chance to swim with sea turtles and dolphins. As if all that wasn't enough... the boat, her crew, and our guides were also very consistent: consistently excellent! It was our first liveaboard but on the basis of this very special experience, it definitely will not be our last!"

Galápagos Snorkeling Liveaboard – 12-21 March 2024

 

An unreal snorkel trip to the outer Galápagos Islands aboard the Samba, a 14-passenger yacht fully chartered for our group· The snorkeling was phenomenal and allowed us to closely encounter the unique and inquisitive wildlife of the archipelago: sea lions, marine iguanas, mola mola, penguins, sharks, sea turtles, mantas… We also got the chance to witness the eruption of La Cumbre volcano, on Fernandina Island! Next departure to this destination: Spring 2026.

Evening briefing aboard the Samba

"I trusted my friend's recommendation and went on the trip without studying any details in advance. During the trip, I felt like I was in a dream. Every hike was unbelievably surreal – I couldn't believe such beauty existed in the world. As a first-time snorkeler, I felt like I hit the jackpot – encountering so much wildlife in just one week was incredible. I loved the intense activities and was happy to be challenged. Feedback? We already plan our next snorkeling trip in 2025!"

~Nancy, Atlanta (Georgia)

"The Galápagos Islands trip was fantastic, an amazing experience with wildlife.. Highly recommend this trip on the small boat, Samba."

~Kitty & Pat (California)

"The opportunity to spend several relaxed hours every day experiencing the wildlife first hand in the water was wonderful. Being able to share the adventure with other enthusiasts made the trip very special."

~Sue & David, Mallorca (Spain)

"The Planet Snorkeling trip in Wakatobi, made a dream come true for me! Guillaume was an amazing and patient trip leader and I can’t wait to travel again with them!"

~Anne, Fort Myers (Florida)

"It was a fantastic trip to Wakatobi, we are glad we did it. Five stars treatment from the time we landed throughout our stay at the resort. Worth every penny. Definitely one of our most memorable holidays to date!"

~Stuart & Mamiek, Phuket (Thailand)

"Thank you, Planet Snorkeling, for the choice of destination and for taking care of us as soon as we landed in Bali! Snorkeling tours were exceptional, with healthy corals and a diversity of fish and critters to see. It was amazing to share these moments with marine life experts and fellow snorkelers!"
