Swimming with dolphins in Hurghada is a close encounter with these animals in a setting run by a specialist team, with no rough seas and no sailing. Contact happens in stages: watching from the jetty, a safety briefing, then a gradual entry into the water to share a few moments up close with the dolphins, following the keepers' instructions. Depending on the format you choose, the session lasts five or ten minutes.
It works just as well for couples as for families, and is open from age six as long as you are comfortable in the water with a buoyancy jacket. An alternative format exists for travellers who simply want to capture the moment: a photo session with the dolphins in the pool, with no entry into the water and no swimming. It still gives you close contact with the animals and a unique memory to take home.
Good to know: for this activity we are not responsible for the service delivered by the dolphin park, and no refund can be issued if the provider carries out the activity poorly or only in part.
