Swimming Close to Wild Dolphins from Hurghada

A full-day open-sea adventure where the Red Sea reveals its most extraordinary residents.


This dolphin swimming trip from Hurghada brings you into the open waters of the Red Sea to encounter wild dolphins in their natural habitat, all within a carefully guided and respectful excursion. Two additional snorkeling stops at vibrant coral reef sites round out a day designed for genuine underwater discovery.

Departing from Hurghada, the boat heads into the open sea toward areas where wild dolphin pods are regularly spotted. The experience is observational and natural — dolphins approach on their own terms, making every encounter feel genuinely wild rather than staged.

Beyond the dolphin encounter, the itinerary includes two dedicated snorkeling stops at coral reef locations, where you can observe reef fish, hard and soft corals, and the broader marine ecosystem the Red Sea is internationally recognized for.

The trip is rated easy, making it well suited for families, first-time snorkelers, and travelers who want an immersive marine experience without technical demands. Snorkeling equipment is provided on board for the full duration of the excursion.

Tour Highlights

Enjoy a full 8.5-hour day on the water with plenty of time at each location.

All snorkeling equipment is supplied on board, so no prior gear is needed.
