Dolphin sightings
Are dolphins guaranteed on Dolphin House trips in Hurghada?
No. Dolphins are wild animals, and sightings cannot be guaranteed. The trip gives you an opportunity to search for dolphins in their natural environment.
Where does the trip go?
Dolphin House is not one fixed point. The captain chooses the route based on sea conditions, daily updates, and where dolphins are most likely to be found on the day of the trip.
Can we swim with dolphins?
Sometimes guests may swim near dolphins if conditions are safe and the dolphins approach on their own. This is never forced or guaranteed.
What happens if we do not see dolphins?
The trip still includes a Red Sea boat day, snorkeling, swimming when conditions allow, and food and drinks depending on the trip.
Programs & inclusions
What is the best Dolphin House trip in Hurghada?
It depends on your travel style. Choose the shared snorkeling trip for value, the speedboat for a faster private option, the private boat for comfort, or the snorkeling and diving trip for a fuller Red Sea experience.
What is included in the Snorkeling and Diving trip?
Hotel pickup, dolphin search, one snorkeling stop, one scuba diving stop with a certified instructor, oriental breakfast, lunch, unlimited soft drinks, and a Professional Snorkeling Guide.
What is the difference between Private Speedboat and Private Boat?
Private Speedboat is faster and better for short, flexible dolphin-search trips for couples or small groups. Private Boat is better for families and groups who want more space, comfort, lunch, snorkeling, and a longer relaxed sea day.
Is snorkeling equipment included?
Yes. Snorkeling equipment is included in the listed Dolphin House trips.

Do I need to pay online?
No. You do not need to pay anything online to enquire or hold a date.

Yes. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before your scheduled trip. Need to cancel within the final 24 hours? Please contact us on WhatsApp.
Children & safety
Can children and infants join the trips?
Yes. Infants aged 0–3 and children are welcome on all our excursions, including private speedboats, private boats and shared boat trips, with adult supervision. Age-appropriate flotation equipment is available on all our boats, including those operated by our trusted partners. For bookings with infants, our team checks the arrangements with the captain or boat operator before confirming your reservation.
Can non-swimmers join?
Yes. Non-swimmers can enjoy the dolphin search and the boat day on board. Flotation equipment is available, but taking part in swimming and snorkeling depends on individual suitability, sea conditions and the captain's guidance.

Yes. The Hurghada Dolphin House Snorkeling and Diving trip includes one scuba diving stop with a certified scuba diving instructor.
