Dolphin House Snorkeling Cruise with Lunch in Hurghada
A full-day boat journey to coral reefs and open waters where wild dolphins roam free
The Dolphin House snorkeling cruise offers a rare opportunity to explore one of the Red Sea's most celebrated marine sanctuaries, combining vivid coral reef snorkeling with the chance to spot wild dolphins in their natural habitat. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, making the experience seamless from start to finish.
Dolphin House, also known as Sha'ab El Erg, is a protected reef site roughly 35 kilometers north of Hurghada where resident spinner dolphins are frequently observed. The site earns its name from the spinner dolphin pods that have established this reef as their resting ground, offering encounters that feel genuinely spontaneous rather than staged.
After the dolphin search, the boat moves to a second coral reef location where guests can snorkel among a wide variety of marine life, including parrotfish, angelfish, and moray eels. Snorkeling equipment is provided on board, and the crew assists participants of all experience levels throughout the session.
A freshly prepared lunch is served on deck along with soft drinks, allowing guests to refuel and relax before the return journey to Hurghada. The total excursion lasts approximately seven hours, making it a well-rounded full-day outing from the resort coast.
