Dolphin House is the Hurghada trip to wild spinner dolphins that rest on the sheltered reefs near the city; the captain picks the reef each morning where the pod is. The big tourist boats take 90 minutes each way and arrive after everyone else. A private speedboat changes the trip completely: you go fast, you go on your own schedule, and you get to the reef while it's still calm. The whole boat is yours for up to 8 guests at one flat price. There are two departures every day, 09:00 and 13:00, you pick one at booking. The captain runs straight to the Dolphin House area, moors at the reef edge so you can snorkel the coral garden, and positions the boat where the pod is most likely to pass. We never chase or feed the dolphins, the guide explains the rules before you enter the water. Fresh fruit, soft drinks and water are on board, snorkel gear is provided, and round-trip hotel transfer is included.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sea trips depend on safe sailing conditions. If the marina closes for safety, the captain cancels and we move you to another date for free or refund you in full.

Wildlife sightings (dolphins, turtles, rays) are possible but never guaranteed. We visit habitats where they are seen regularly, but they are wild animals.

We actually saw dolphins. A pod of about 20 swam past while we were snorkeling. Genuinely magical moment.

Wild dolphins, real experience. No feeding, no chasing. Yala does it right.
