Dolphin House Excursion
Located only 25 - 45 km away to the north from Hurghada, you will find the amazing horseshoe shaped reef and protected area home to spinner dolphins. These wild dolphins socialize and swim in the quiet lagoon with an 80 - 90% chance of encountering them in the morning.
Apart from dolphins there are one or two guided snorkeling stops around colorful coral walls teeming with colorful fish, stingrays, and sea turtles. However, many visitors opt for a more private and secluded experience, enjoying the marine magic without the crowds, by taking a private boat trip Hurghada.
All dolphin watching is conducted with respect but with no chasing or touching.
