Dolphin House refers to a cluster of coral reefs off Hurghada, long renowned for being home to large groups of wild dolphins. Unlike the pool formulas, everything happens at sea and rests on observation in the natural environment, without a firm guarantee but with good odds depending on the season.
Swimmers stay grouped, never chase the animals and let them come at their own pace. Some encounters stretch on for several minutes, others are brief. Between sightings, two or three snorkeling stops above the surrounding reefs: coral gardens, clownfish, parrotfish, moray eels and sometimes rays in very clear water. The site is popular, and several boats may be present at the same time.
Good to know: the transfer covers Hurghada hotels only. Full price from age 11, half price for children aged 5 to 11 with a parent or legal guardian, free under 5. The child rate is applied when we confirm your booking.
