Tour Description & Itinerary:
Get ready for an unforgettable day exploring the famed Dolphin House, also known as Shaʿab Samadai—a protected, horseshoe-shaped reef just southeast of Marsa Alam where spinner dolphins come to play. We begin with a morning pick-up from your Marsa Alam hotel and a short, scenic drive to the marina. On arrival, meet your friendly crew and guide, receive a safety briefing, and board our comfortable speedboat.
We set off across the crystal-clear Red Sea, heading to the Dolphin House. Once there, your guide will time two 45-minute snorkeling sessions in the dolphin zone and around the coral-rich lagoon. Keep in mind that marine regulations protect the dolphins—so the boat stays in “zone C,” while you snorkel respectfully in “zone B.” That means no chasing, touching, or loud noises—just you, floats, and perhaps a curious dolphin popping by. These playful pods of spinner dolphins glide through the water and often come close—but each interaction is gentle, natural, and always on the animal’s terms.
Between snorkel stops, relax aboard with snacks, soft drinks, and a buffet-style lunch featuring chicken, fish, rice, salad, and more. After dolphin-sighting sessions, we cruise a bit further to a second snorkeling site on Shaʿab Marsa Alam or a nearby reef, delivering another dip into dazzling coral gardens and colorful fish.
By mid-afternoon, we begin our return journey, arriving back at the marina before transferring you to your hotel—around 3:00–4:00 PM, with your heart full of marine magic and camera full of underwater memories.
Group Size: Small to medium group (typically 20–40 per boat, but comfortable spacing and attentive crew
