Dolphin House Hurghada — Snorkeling Guide

Meet spinner dolphins in their natural habitat. This guide explains where Dolphin House is, what to expect, safety etiquette, and practical boat-day tips.

Where Is It & What to Expect

  • Offshore reef area reachable by boat from Hurghada.
  • Clear water, seagrass patches, and the chance to see dolphins (wildlife sightings are never guaranteed).
  • Usually includes 1–2 snorkeling stops plus time to relax on deck.

Safety & Responsible Wildlife Viewing

  • Never chase or touch dolphins; keep a respectful distance.
  • Follow your guide, stay within buoy lines, and avoid splashing or loud noises.
  • Use a snug mask; consider a snorkel vest if you’re not confident.

Non‑Swimmer Tips

  • Practice with a life vest on the boat ladder first.
  • Use a noodle or a buoy line; stay close to the guide.
  • Fins help you move with less effort—ask for the right size.

Seasickness & Comfort

  • Eat light before sailing; avoid heavy/fatty foods.
  • Sit outside facing forward; focus on the horizon.
  • Pack ginger candy or motion bands if you’re prone to nausea.
