Abu Galum and blu hole safari
5 / 5
Nichola , 15 Dec 2015
The most unusual adventure trip was to the Blue Hole. We had 2 jeeps which raced each other on a desert safari, a little white knuckle. A bedouin tea stop. Then to the camels for 1/2 hour to take us to the Blue Hole seaside. A little uncomfortable. Into the sea with our guide, snorkelling off the rocks. We swam over 500 m cliffs of coral, round the bend, and over coral onto the Blue Hole. Quite spectacular - I'd recommend fins unless a good swimmer. In November the sea temperature was still warm enough not to have to wear a shortie or vest, but you'd be more comfortable if you have one on the whole. Back at 6 pm, so a long day as we were picked up at 7.15.
