A week spent snorkeling at coral reefs, swimming with wild bottlenose dolphins, and unwinding aboard our amazing yacht in the heart of the stunning Sataya Coral Lagoon in the Red Sea.
You will arrive in Egypt at the Marsa Alam airport before six o'clock in the morning. You will buy a visa and go through document control at the airport, pick up your luggage, and in front of the airport building, a Czech-speaking representative of the travel agency s.r.o. and a representative of the Fleet will be waiting for you. Accompanied by them, you will place your luggage in a prepared bus, and together we will set off for a two and a half to three hour journey south to the port of Hamata.
Our yacht will be waiting for us there. We board, have a "Welcome drink," and go over the ship's basic regulations. Meanwhile, the staff will transfer your stuff to the ship, and you may stay in your rooms and eat breakfast. After breakfast, we will go on a three-hour trip to Sataya's lovely coral lagoon, where the coral reefs extend almost to the surface, functioning as a barrier so that the sea does not rock with us and we can spend the entire week without feeling seasick. More restrictions will be discussed to you once the ship has been anchored, this time regulating swimming around the ship while anchored and motorboat rides from the ship to the dolphins and coral reefs. Meanwhile, the cooks will prepare lunch for us, followed by a break to settle into our cabins and unpack.
Then we'll try or learn to snorkel from the boat. And if there are any dolphins left in the bay that are willing to pay attention to us, we will go for them. We can go snorkeling at the coral reefs and appreciate the beauty of life beneath the surface of the Red Sea if they are no longer here and you have the appetite and strength after an almost awake night.
The next morning, though, everything is back to normal, and a typical Satay day may begin. This means that interested persons will gather on board about 6 p.m. and we will search for dolphins together. Alternatively, we may arrange for you all to sleep deeply, and when the crew or guides spot the first dolphins in the bay, we will wake you up with information on how long we will be on the adventure. Dolphins are most talkative in the early morning hours. We return to the ship for breakfast at eight o'clock. After that, we have a break before departing the ship on boats at 10 o'clock. We'll return for lunch. After lunch, we take a lengthier break for a snooze before heading back out to sea at half past three to half past four. We return to the boat for a snack before relaxing and having our own fun.
You can bring a yoga mat or another type of workout mat. If there is enough interest, we may do yoga or other stretching and relaxation activities before supper, or we can share a meditation visualization on a mutually agreed-upon theme. Sometimes an otherwise gifted exerciser or dancer joins us on the ship, and we attempt new things. Unless your week is theme-focused (yoga, dance, healing music, etc.). Dinner is served at 7:00 p.m., followed by free entertainment. You may also sleep on one of the decks if you enjoy sleeping outside. In every phase of the moon, the view of the night sky above the Red Sea is breathtaking.
If we don't catch dolphins on some of our boat outings, or if they are just resting, we will travel to one of the gorgeous coral reefs outside or inside the lagoon and explore the underwater environment. This continues till the sixth day. You may, of course, go into the sea surrounding the ship at any time if it is anchored. Remember that none of the actions are required. You'll just enjoy the holiday in your own unique manner.
The sixth day will begin in the morning, but before noon, we will bid farewell to the dolphins and Sataya. We'll leave after lunch towards the Om Al Sheikh islet. We'll be able to dive around it or relax on a nice sandy beach, and after supper, we'll go out in boats and "ground" ourselves a little while sitting by the fire. A traditional coffee served over a fire or dancing on a sandy beach will undoubtedly contribute to a nice atmosphere.
We will still be able to experience the splendor of the undersea world at the coral reefs around the island on the seventh day. Alternatively, relax on the beach and enjoy the warm sand. After lunch, we'll head to the dock to pack your belongings and prepare for the voyage home. Buses will transport us to the airport about midnight, and you will arrive in Prague around eleven a.m. We feel they are content, cheerful, and full of wonderful adventures.
Many individuals pick such a journey as a fantastic uncommon experience, some as a dream come true, and others as a chance to encounter intelligent creatures. Many individuals want to encounter dolphins because of their unique energy and the possibility of energy transformation. Changes in our thoughts and perception occur often in their vicinity. These are great times that frequently result in life transformations and "heart opening." If something similar occurs to you on our tour, don't be hesitant to contact our Czech-speaking delegate and ask for assistance, or at the very least express your thoughts and concerns. You will never be alone.
Scuba diving
If you are a licensed diver and want to dive in this region during your vacation, please bring your license with you and let us know in advance in your application. And for those who have never attempted diving but would like to, you may do it on some afternoons when there are no dolphins in the bay. Or they will, but they will no longer be interested in us. Then we'll travel to the shallow area of the bay, where, with the help of an expert guide, you'll be able to dive 5-6 meters with no risk of decompression sickness following a briefing. With parental permission, children can only go up to 2 meters.
Our boat
In most situations, our Safari boat can accommodate 28 persons, including divers. In the summer, it is utilized for swimming with dolphins and snorkeling. There are seventeen cabins, the majority of which are doubles with independently controlled air conditioning and a private bathroom. The bottom deck has nine cabins, the middle deck has six cabins, and the upper deck has two cabins. A huge air-conditioned salon with seats and an entertainment system, a separate air-conditioned dining salon, and two sundecks are among the common areas. One offers a self-service bar and a covered area, while the other is perfect for sunbathing and resting.
The diving deck of the boat liveaboard is placed at the back of the boat and adequately accommodates all divers, with equipment storage and gear rinsing spaces. Diving trips are available all year, and we will visit some of the top diving spots in the Red Sea. In both the south and the north. You will witness stunning coral reefs as well as shipwrecks from various eras. And aquatic life, including certain shark species.
Join our skilled and competent crew for an amazing Red Sea liveaboard.
