Dolphin House Hurghada Boat Trip

Hotel Pickup and Transfer to the Marina

Your day begins with pickup from your hotel in Hurghada if transfers are included in your booking. You will travel to the marina, where the boat crew welcomes you and helps you get ready for the trip.

Before departure, the crew will explain the schedule and go over the safety instructions. Once everyone is on board, the boat leaves the marina and heads towards the Dolphin House area in the Red Sea.

Enjoy the Boat Ride

As the boat moves away from the coastline, take some time to enjoy the open sea and the fresh breeze. You can sit on deck, take photos, or simply relax while the crew navigates towards the dolphin-watching area.

The journey itself is part of the experience. The water changes color as you move farther from shore, and you may spot seabirds or other signs of marine life along the way.

Dolphin Watching in the Red Sea

One of the main highlights of the trip is the chance to see dolphins in their natural environment. Dolphin House is a popular name for an offshore area near Hurghada where dolphins are often reported.

Keep your eyes on the water as the boat approaches the designated area. If dolphins are spotted, you may be able to watch them swimming, surfacing for air, or moving through the water in groups.

It is important to remember that dolphins are wild animals, so sightings cannot be guaranteed. Their behavior also depends on natural conditions. Responsible tour operators should follow local rules and avoid chasing, crowding, or disturbing the animals.

Snorkeling Stop

After the dolphin-watching portion of the trip, the boat will head to a suitable snorkeling location, depending on the itinerary and sea conditions.

Once the crew gives the go-ahead, you can put on your snorkeling mask and explore the underwater world. The Red Sea is home to colorful fish and coral reefs, making snorkeling a popular activity for visitors to Hurghada.

Take your time in the water and look around the reef without touching the coral or disturbing marine life. If you are new to snorkeling, ask the crew for guidance before entering the sea.

You can also stay on board if you prefer not to swim. Make sure to follow the crew's instructions throughout the activity, especially if the water is choppy or currents are present.

A Second Snorkeling Stop

Depending on the selected package, the boat may make another stop at a different snorkeling site. This gives you more time to enjoy the water and discover another part of the Red Sea.

You can swim, look for tropical fish, or relax on deck while the others snorkel. The locations and number of stops vary between operators and may change according to weather and sea conditions.

Lunch on Board

After spending time in the water, take a break and enjoy lunch. Depending on the package, the meal may be served on the boat and can include a selection of dishes and side items.

Drinking water and soft drinks may also be available, depending on the tour you book. Check the package details in advance so you know exactly what is included.

Relax on the Way Back

Once the activities are finished, the boat begins its journey back to Hurghada Marina. This is a good time to sit back, enjoy the sea views, and look through the photos you took during the day.

When you arrive at the marina, you will return to your hotel if hotel transfers are included in your booking.

By the end of the excursion, you will have spent a day at sea, enjoyed snorkeling, and had the opportunity to look for dolphins in their natural habitat.

What to Bring

Bring your swimsuit, towel, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat. A waterproof phone pouch can be useful if you want to take pictures near the water. If you have your own snorkeling equipment, you can bring it, but check whether masks, snorkels, and fins are provided.

It is also a good idea to bring any personal medication you may need and some cash for optional extras or personal purchases.
