Description

The Hurghada Dolphin House private speedboat tour leaves Hurghada Marina for a Red Sea area where wild dolphins may be seen and the water is clear for snorkelling. A private boat gives your group more room and lets you keep a more flexible pace than a large shared excursion. You can spend the time at sea with your partner, family or friends while our crew handles the route, safety equipment and stops.

At Dolphin House, you snorkel in open water where dolphins may pass as they move through their natural habitat. You can enter the sea in the hope of seeing them, but sightings depend on the animals and sea conditions. Our crew follows responsible practices and does not chase, touch or feed the dolphins.

After Dolphin House, the speedboat heads to a second snorkelling site on a coral reef. Look below the surface for schools of small reef fish, bright corals and other Red Sea sea life. The stops offer two different kinds of time in the water: the first focuses on open sea and possible dolphin sightings, while the reef is better suited to slower observation close to the coral.

• Private speedboat travel from Hurghada Marina
• Snorkelling at Dolphin House and a second coral-reef site
• Time to look for wild dolphins in their natural environment
• Snorkel equipment and safety equipment for the boat trip
• A relaxed, family-friendly pace for private groups

Explore Egypt’s Red Sea on a family-friendly speedboat tour with a simple, private setup. It suits couples who want time on the water together, families with confident swimmers and travellers who would rather use a private boat than join a crowded group vessel. Children should feel comfortable around water and be able to follow the crew’s instructions. Non-swimmers can stay on the boat, although snorkelling is the main focus of the excursion.

Your itinerary starts at Hurghada Marina, where you meet the crew and board the private speedboat. After the safety briefing, the boat heads to Dolphin House for the first snorkelling stop. The crew explains how to enter the water and where to swim. You then return to the boat before continuing to the second reef. The route and time at each stop can change with sea conditions and local guidance.

We keep the arrangements simple. Meeting at the marina avoids a long transfer before the boat trip, and the private format lets you discuss the pace with the crew during the excursion. Snorkelling equipment and life jackets are provided. Our team can explain the route and help you feel comfortable before you enter the water. Hotel pickup, if required, must be arranged and confirmed separately.

This excursion does not include a guaranteed dolphin encounter. The sea may also be unsuitable for travellers who feel uncomfortable with boat movement or open-water swimming. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant or have limited mobility, tell us before travelling so we can advise whether the boat and snorkelling stops are suitable. Bring sun protection, swimwear and a towel. There may be little shade on the boat, so a light cover-up is useful between stops.

Is Dolphin House suitable for children? Dolphin House can suit children who are confident around water and can follow safety instructions, but parents remain responsible for supervision. Children who are not strong swimmers may watch from the boat instead of joining the snorkelling.

Are dolphins guaranteed? Dolphin sightings are not guaranteed because Dolphin House is an open-sea habitat, but the crew takes you to the recognised area and the excursion also includes a separate coral-reef snorkelling stop.

What is the meeting point? The tour starts at Hurghada Marina, where travellers should arrive ready to board with swimwear, a towel, sun protection and any required medication. Hotel transfers are not included unless confirmed as an additional arrangement.
