SEA & ISLANDS / THE EXPERIENCE
Dolphin House snorkeling.
A CLOSER LOOK AT YOUR DAY
Out on the water, closer to the wild.
Sail to the Dolphin House area and explore the Red Sea with three snorkeling stops, lunch, drinks and fun water activities. Dolphins in this area are wild, so sightings or swimming with dolphins can never be guaranteed.
After hotel pickup and marina transfer, board the boat for the Dolphin House area. The crew searches responsibly for wild dolphins, followed by three planned snorkeling stops at selected locations. Lunch and drinks are served on board, and Banana Boat and Sofa Ride activities are included when sea conditions are safe before the return to Hurghada.
THE JOURNEY, STEP BY STEP
How it all unfolds.
Hurghada hotel pickup and marina transfer
Meet your hotel pickup and travel to the marina for the Dolphin House boat day. Bring swimwear, a towel and sun protection.
Boat departure and safety briefing
Board the boat, meet the crew and listen to the safety briefing before the sea activities begin. Tell the team about your swimming ability before joining any snorkeling.
Sail toward the Dolphin House area and search responsibly for wild dolphins
Sail toward the Dolphin House area and look for dolphins in their natural environment. They are wild animals, so neither a sighting nor a swimming encounter is guaranteed.
Enjoy three planned snorkeling stops at selected locations
The program plans three snorkeling stops at locations chosen by the crew. Standard equipment is included; sites and timing can change with sea conditions and snorkeling is optional.
Lunch and drinks on board
Enjoy the included lunch and drinks on board during the day. Meal time is coordinated with sailing and the snorkeling stops.
Banana Boat and Sofa Ride when conditions allow
Take part in the Banana Boat and Sofa Ride when sea and weather conditions are safe. The crew can change or cancel these activities if needed for safety.
Return to Hurghada and hotel transfer
Return to the marina and join the hotel transfer after the boat program. Allow approximately eight hours for the complete day.
Timings and the order of stops can change with conditions and operational arrangements. Your confirmed trip instructions give the final meeting details.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
A little clarity.
What is the budget option for two people or a family?+
This shared trip costs €25 per adult aged 11+, €15 per child aged 4–10 and nothing for the excursion fare at ages 0–3. Two adults cost €50 with Hurghada pickup; two adults plus one child aged 4–10 cost €65 before any outside-Hurghada transfer supplement or optional purchase. The separate private speedboat costs €150 for up to six guests: for six adults the base total is the same, but its four-hour program and refreshments differ from this approximately eight-hour day with lunch. Compare the full group total and inclusions.
How do I book the Dolphin House Snorkeling Trip from Hurghada without a deposit?+
Choose your preferred date in the booking form , then enter every traveler in the correct age category, including infants. Your exact activity and pickup times are confirmed after we review your request. You can also book on WhatsApp with your date, exact hotel and all traveler ages. For cash-on-arrival bookings, no advance deposit is required: pay our representative at pickup on the tour day, before it begins. Keep the written confirmation of the selected program, total and pickup details.
Can I enjoy the trip without buying photos or other extras?+
Yes. The listed boat trip, three planned snorkeling stops, snorkeling equipment, lunch and drinks are included. Professional photos, videos and personal purchases are optional, so you can take the listed program without buying them. Confirm any applicable hotel transfer supplement before booking and ask the price before choosing an extra.
Are dolphins guaranteed?+
No. Dolphins are wild animals and sightings cannot be guaranteed. If no dolphins appear, the planned reef-snorkeling and boat program can still take place, subject to sea conditions and the crew's decisions. You are booking the described excursion, not a guaranteed wildlife encounter.
Is swimming with dolphins guaranteed?+
No. Any encounter depends on the dolphins, conditions and crew instructions.
How many snorkeling stops are included?+
Three planned snorkeling stops.
Can non-swimmers join?+
Yes. Snorkeling is optional, so you can remain aboard during the reef stops and enjoy the boat day. Tell the team your swimming ability and any access or comfort requirements before booking. Entering the water must match your ability, the conditions and crew instructions.
