Fijian Islands and Snorkel Full-Day Whales Tale Cruise including Beach BBQ Lunch

Nadi or Coral Coast, Fiji

My Rating
4 star rating: Recommended

My Review

The bus ride from the Outrigger (on the Coral Coast) takes an hour or so. Once you're on the boat, it's about an hour and a half to the island. There's brunch on the boat, lunch once you get to the island, and "tea" on the return trip (which for us was cake and cookies and things like that). The island is really, really small, but the snorkeling was good and the water was really nice. There's also kayaking, hand-line fishing, volleyball and a glass bottom boat ride (all included). The crew works really hard to keep everyone entertained. The only thing I didn't like was that (probably because of the unlimited free drinks), there are quite a few drunks on board by the end of the trip. Other than that, it was a fun and relaxing day.

Personable, helpful and knowledgeable guide. He escorted us the entire way through and made the process move along much quicker than if we had gone on our own. Thank you.

Bedouin BBQ in the Egyptian Desert by 4x4

Hurghada, Egypt

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review
The tour was interesting from start to finish. The drive out to the Bedouin camp is about an hour off-road through the desert. We stopped halfway for picture taking. Once out at the camp, we were met with coffee and dates. We saw bread being baked in the sand, took a camel ride, and toured some of the community buildings of the camp. The most memorable part came next - a walk through the desert along a dried-up river bed and down a little hill to see the place where the Bedouins get their water. The tour guide stopped to explain many things along the way - the plants, the rocks. Back at the camp, we ate dinner, which tasted very good, and the atmosphere was very nice. The Bedouins then sang a song, and we left. On the way back, we stopped in the middle of the desert to get out and see the stars. The experience was unforgettable.

My Review
This tour was more interesting than we had expected. This was the first time on our trip that we found ourselves out of the tourist element. Our tour guide was very flexible with the itinerary and enabled us to see areas of Hurghada that we wouldn't have known about. He was very desirous of our having the type of experience that we were looking for, and he was able to answer our many questions. The restaurant meal was very relaxing and the food was the best meal we had during our entire vacation. It was a very good experience, and we would recommend it to anyone.

We really enjoyed our tour of Luxor. We saw everything we wanted to see, and the pace of the tour was just right. The ride there and back was nice and our tour guide was one of the best we have ever had. Honestly, this was one of the best tours we have ever taken.
