Beautiful snorkeling spots, a very friendly crew on the boat, and safety for children with supervised snorkeling and the presence of a buoy. We even did our first scuba dive as an extra! We came back happy, our heads full of fish!

SUPERB SNORKELING TRIP. Very comfortable boat, attentive and helpful staff. Beautiful spots, we saw dolphins, eagle rays, and a multitude of colorful fish. If you have wetsuits or shorties, bring the ones provided by the dive center; they're not in very good condition. Transfers were punctual. The Imperial Shams Hotel is great; we had a spacious standard room. The only downside was that there was no one at the airport for visas, no counter, and no one to arrange the transfer. Agents from other companies help you free of charge.

I booked my trip with immediate payment, but I was then asked for a mandatory supplement to be able to travel because there were no more rooms available at my usual hotel. This is not right; I should be informed of the supplement before the first payment. I would not recommend Decathlon Travel; I think it's better to contact the local agency directly for a more honest booking process.

Good morning,


Thank you for your feedback. We understand your surprise regarding the additional charge requested after your booking.

Due to unavailability at your original hotel, our partner offered you two alternatives. You accepted one of them, but you also had the option to refuse and receive a full refund.

The same situation would have occurred if you had booked directly with the accommodation provider. We hope you enjoyed your stay nonetheless.

What a joy to spend five days on a boat with such a caring crew. The food is perfectly adequate. The boat is clean. The corals and seabed are incredible.

We had a very enjoyable stay. The snorkeling went very well, and the team there ensures it's completely safe, even for 8-year-olds. The fact that they speak French also allows children to fully enjoy their trip. We're already thinking about going back and highly recommend this trip!

An unforgettable snorkeling and scuba diving experience in Safaga with Decathlon Travel and the ***** agency. A week out of time with my father, during which we were constantly amazed by the beauty of the sites both above and below the water. It exceeded my expectations. The entire team was incredible, highly professional, and incredibly kind. On our free day, we went to Luxor, which was also magical. I absolutely recommend it, and I have only one wish: to do it again!

The snorkeling trip was very well organized on-site by the agency ******, the instructors were exceptional, available, and competent, and the boat crew were helpful and friendly. However, we were disappointed by Decathlon's handling of the bookings and their coordination. When you sign up for a themed trip, it's not to stay in a hotel. (3 days of snorkeling out of 6 days) Perhaps it would be better to book accommodation and flights together to ensure you receive the full experience.

Hello Catherine,

Thank you for your detailed feedback.

We are delighted to know that you fully appreciated the organization on site with our partner Dune, as well as the professionalism of the instructors and the kindness of the crew.

Regarding your comment about the course of the stay and the number of days devoted to snorkeling: we had informed you of this constraint in advance.

Your booking, independent of the flights, influenced availability for some snorkeling dates; although the proposed solution allowed you to maintain your stay and confirm your booking, we understand that this may have generated some disappointment.

We take note of your suggestions to better harmonize our offers and meet the expectations of our travelers, even in particular configurations like yours.

We hope that, despite this adjustment, you will retain a fond memory of your stay.

Thank you again for your trust and your intention to repeat the experience with us.
