Hurghada: Dolphin House Morning Cruise & Swim with Dolphins

Discover the Hurghada Dolphin House — an extraordinary adventure designed to bring you the authentic beauty, rich history, and timeless magic of Egypt with expert local guidance.

Start your day with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Hurghada and a transfer to the marina, where you’ll board your boat for a laid-back Red Sea cruise to Dolphin House. Known for its crystal-clear water, vibrant reefs, and frequent dolphin activity, this area is one of the top spots around Hurghada for snorkeling—and, with a bit of luck, spotting wild dolphins in their natural habitat. Once on board, the crew will welcome you, walk you through the plan for the day, and give a brief safety briefing. Then it’s time to head out to sea and soak up the views on the way to the snorkeling sites. When you arrive, you’ll get fitted with the included snorkeling equipment and jump in for your first swim. Expect colorful fish, coral gardens, and great visibility—ideal for both first-timers and experienced snorkelers. You’ll usually enjoy a second swim/snorkel stop as well, giving you more time to explore the reef and enjoy the warm water. If dolphins are in the area and conditions allow, you may have the opportunity to swim near them—always respectfully and in line with local guidelines and the captain’s instructions. Back on board, unwind on the sun deck, enjoy the sea breeze, and refuel with a freshly prepared lunch served on the boat. After the final stop, you’ll cruise back to Hurghada, return to the marina, and be transferred back to your hotel.
