10/10, would book again
This was my first liveaboard and it far and away exceeded my expectations. The staff was incredible - they were so attentive I felt like a helpless baby. I didn't put my own fins on all week and every time I turned around someone was there to help me into/out of my wetsuit. The guides were awesome and the rest of the crew was amazing, especially the chefs - the food was delicious. The boat and rooms were very spacious and it had everything you could want or need for a week on board. I would 100% recommend this liveaboard and would book the Ghazala Explorer if I returned to the Red Sea (there were several people on the boat who were repeat customers).

Top rated for a reason
Had a great experience from the minute I booked the trip. Beforehand, Alex was helpful in setting up transportation to Aswan at the end of my trip. Pickup from Hurghada was friendly and set the tone of great service for the entire week. Once aboard, the crew was great at communicating everything coming up and was very accommodating, constantly making sure that everything was ok and I didn't need anything. The entire week of diving was fun, safe, and relaxing. Everything was great and I would definitely do this trip again (although maybe a different itinerary to dive somewhere new).

Colorful north Red Sea diving
Red Sea diving was better than I expected. Visibility was great and corals were colorful. Enjoyed diving in such close proximity to the dolphins also.

Exceeded Every Expectation ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was our first livaboard and first time in the Red Sea. Every expectation we had was greatly exceeded. I cannot stress enough how wonderful, helpful, and friendly the entire crew was. The dive guides (Ahmed, Moussa, Khalil) were very knowledgeable and made all our dives enjoyable and low stress. They were so good at finding the hard to spot marine life! The sea men on the dive deck were incredible - they helped with every aspect of the pre and post dive (getting wet suits and BCDs on and off, getting out of the water, in and out of fins, etc). They were all so friendly and made the atmosphere fun and laid back. The food at every meal was incredible and plentiful. The chefs and pastry chef work tirelessly to give you a delicious meal every time. One of my favorite little details: After every dive before you even get your wetsuit off, you are handed a hot beverage which was such a nice touch. Of course the diving itself was beautiful. The reefs are so healthy; the visibility spectacular. We went to many different wrecks, saw lots of marine life, and it was a great blend of easy and more challenging dives, deep and shallow, wrecks and reefs. We would absolutely do this livaboard again.

Wonderful, wonderful liveaboard experience!
Very attentive, cheerful, and timely service from the liveaboard crew covering dining, housekeeping, and diving. Dive guides highly knowledgable and helpful. The crew kept the daily schedule ontime and punctual making the day's activities predictable. Ample room on the boat in the cabins, dive deck, indoor lounge area, dining area, and upper deck. The entire dive package offered excellent value for the money paid. The transfer from and to the airport handled very well. The diving on the reefs and wrecks of the north Red Sea proved superb!!

Excellent!!!
This was such a comfortable boat to be on for the week. The crew did everything to make our time in and out of the water perfect. The dives were fantastic with visibility that went on for days. A particular highlight was during a reef dive when a pod of 8 dolphins came by and played with us for several minutes then left, then returned to play some more. All of the food was terrific and and the desserts were wonderful. (having a pastry chef as part of the crew took it to the next level) Free wifi and free nitrox just added to the already great value. Highly recommended.

Truly great Red Sea dive trip.
It's a very comfortable boat: large enough to have room to move around and be stable on the water, but small enough so divers can get to know one another. Cabins had plenty of room and storage space. New sites every day. Before each dive the briefings by a dive guide, with audiovisual assist, were complete and understandable. The deck staff both before and after the dives were everywhere assisting with gear and helping in any way they could. Always a snack and a drink waiting when we came up. My wife and I were encouraged to get nitrox certified and we did; looking at the nitrox log I saw that everyone else on the boat, now including us, were using nitrox blend. The reefs weren't the best I've seen, having dived in Belize and Palau and Roatan, among others, but they were always good and often amazing. The emphasis was on spotting pelagics and we did see some; I'm more of a reef and small critter person and could have used more of that. Since it was my first time there, I stuck with a guided group for almost all my dives and this generally went well; the guides were all pros and kept a good eye on us. Some interesting caves on some of the dives which gave nice variety. We took a RIB excursion to see dolphins up close but did not see any in the one place where we could actually get in the water with them, but the snorkeling was fun. Loved the night dives. Full days every day, up at 6 and in the water not long after, with dinner usually around 9 after the night dive, if there was one. Great food, a mix of Western and Egyptian that was tasty and varied, and there was plenty of it. They seemed proud of it and deservedly so.
