What does Soft All-Inclusive include?
It normally includes breakfast, lunch, dinner and selected non-alcoholic drinks according to the confirmed resort concept. The exact hotel plan is stated in your quotation.
Are dolphin, turtle or dugong sightings guaranteed?
No. These are wild animals moving freely in their natural habitats. The excursions visit areas where sightings are possible, but no ethical operator can guarantee an encounter.

No. Sataya and Marsa Mubarak are included as shared boat excursions. Private arrangements may be quoted separately when available.
What happens if weather affects an excursion?
