About this trip

Dolphin House is a horseshoe-shaped reef south of Marsa Alam where a resident pod of spinner dolphins comes to rest and play. This full-day boat trip takes you out to the reef edge to snorkel calm, sheltered water — and when the pod is around, to share it with them quietly and at a safe distance.

No experience is required. Your guide runs a full briefing before anyone's in the water, and small group sizes mean you're not lost in a crowd. Lunch, drinks, gear and hotel transfer are all handled, so the only thing to plan is bringing a towel and sunscreen.

  • Hotel pickup & drop-off
  • Snorkel mask, fins & life vest
  • Marine guide & safety briefing

Good to know

  • · Dolphins are wild animals — sightings are frequent but never guaranteed.
  • · Keep a respectful distance from the pod; no chasing or touching.
  • · Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a towel and a swimsuit under your clothes.
