This family's experience:

Activities: We went snorkeling at the Daymaniyat Islands. We were able to swim with sea turtles at a coral reef. We were told to not touch anything and to keep our distance from the turtles and coral

Highlights: We were excited to watch the turtles swim through the clear water. Unfortunately, some tourists did not follow the rules. We also visited some coral reefs. The variety of colorful fish was amazing and reminded us how fragile our nature is ✨
