Hurghada Dolphin House Snorkeling Boat Trip with Hotel Pickup

A full day on the Red Sea — coral reefs, wild dolphins, and open water from Hurghada marina


This Hurghada Dolphin House snorkeling trip takes you on an 8-hour boat journey across the Red Sea, combining dolphin observation in their natural surroundings with guided snorkeling over thriving coral reef systems.

The day begins with a hotel pickup and a short transfer to Hurghada port, where snorkeling equipment is distributed before boarding. The boat heads toward the Dolphin House area, one of the Red Sea's most consistent dolphin habitats, where spinner and bottlenose dolphins are frequently spotted swimming close to vessels.

A second snorkeling stop at a separate coral reef site gives participants more time underwater with reef fish and diverse marine life. Lunch and a soft drink are served on board, and optional water activities including banana boat and couch boat rides are available during the cruise.

Tour Highlights

Snorkel directly at the Dolphin House reef, one of the most biodiverse coral sites accessible from Hurghada.

Observe wild dolphins in their natural Red Sea habitat during a dedicated dolphin watching stop.

Hotel pickup and drop-off included for guests staying in Hurghada, with no need for independent transport.

Full snorkeling equipment is provided at the port, making this accessible to first-time snorkelers.

A freshly prepared on-board lunch with a soft drink is included in the tour price.

Optional banana boat and couch boat rides add an extra layer of fun on the water for those who want it.

The trip runs daily, offering flexible scheduling throughout the week without fixed departure dates.
