Dolphin House Snorkeling Trip from Hurghada: plan your day
Our Dolphin House Snorkeling Trip from Hurghada combines a shared boat day with three planned snorkeling stops. Dolphins are wild animals: sightings and swimming encounters are not guaranteed.
€25Adult · age 11+
€15Child · age 4–10
FreeInfant · age 0–3
Approximately 8 hours for the complete boat day. The route and water activities depend on sea and operating conditions.
Family example: 2 adults + a child aged 8 = €65 with Hurghada pickup, before supplements and optional purchases. This is the sum of the fares, not a package discount.
What your booking includes & what to check
- Included: Dolphin House area, 3 planned snorkeling stops, equipment, lunch, drinks and Hurghada transfers. Banana Boat and Sofa Ride depend on safe conditions.
- Participation and extras: Snorkeling is optional. Follow the crew’s instructions and participate according to your ability. Personal purchases and professional photos or videos are extra.
Dolphin House or an island day?
Choose this trip for a dolphin-search and snorkeling program with three planned snorkeling stops. If beach time at Orange Bay is your priority, compare the Orange Bay boat trip, which includes approximately two hours on the island and two planned snorkeling stops. These are separate programs; dolphin sightings are not promised on either.
What to Expect
After hotel pickup and marina transfer, board the boat for the Dolphin House area. The crew searches responsibly for wild dolphins, followed by three planned snorkeling stops at selected locations. Lunch and drinks are served on board, and Banana Boat and Sofa Ride activities are included when sea conditions are safe before the return to Hurghada.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the budget option for two people or a family?
This shared trip costs €25 per adult aged 11+, €15 per child aged 4–10 and nothing for the excursion fare at ages 0–3. Two adults cost €50 with Hurghada pickup; two adults plus one child aged 4–10 cost €65 before any outside-Hurghada transfer supplement or optional purchase.

Compare the full group total and inclusions.
How do I book the Dolphin House Snorkeling Trip from Hurghada without a deposit?
Choose an available date and start time in the booking form, then enter every traveler in the correct age category, including infants.

Can I enjoy the trip without buying photos or other extras?

Confirm any applicable hotel transfer supplement before booking and ask the price before choosing an extra.
Are dolphins guaranteed?
No. Dolphins are wild animals and sightings cannot be guaranteed. If no dolphins appear, the planned reef-snorkeling and boat program can still take place, subject to sea conditions and the crew's decisions. You are booking the described excursion, not a guaranteed wildlife encounter.
Is swimming with dolphins guaranteed?
No. Any encounter depends on the dolphins, conditions and crew instructions.
How many snorkeling stops are included?
Three planned snorkeling stops.
Can non-swimmers join?
Yes. Snorkeling is optional, so you can remain aboard during the reef stops and enjoy the boat day. Tell the team your swimming ability and any access or comfort requirements before booking. Entering the water must match your ability, the conditions and crew instructions.
What are transfer fees outside Hurghada?
Hurghada hotel pickup and return are included. Makadi Bay or Sahl Hasheesh: +€5 per person. Soma Bay, Safaga or El Gouna: +€10 per person. Send the exact hotel and every traveler's age to confirm the full total, including how any supplement applies to children or infants. Hotel pickup time is confirmed separately from the activity start time.
What information do you need for hotel pickup?
Provide your hotel name, room number when available, and a reachable phone or WhatsApp number. Your exact pickup time is confirmed after the hotel details are checked; the activity time is not necessarily your hotel pickup time.

Yes. A snorkeling mask and fins are included in the tour price.
