Red Sea Day Trip
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.
