Dolphin Trips
Will I see dolphins?
Sightings are common but never guaranteed: these are wild animals that come and go as they please. The reef stops are worth it even on days when the dolphins don't appear.
Swimming with wild dolphins responsibly
- Stay calm at the surface and let the dolphins come to you. Never chase, touch or feed them.
- Don't dive down onto the pod, and keep splashing to a minimum.
- Follow the guide: boats keep their distance so the dolphins can rest.
Getting there
Dolphin House is further from Hurghada than the Giftun islands, so the boat ride is longer. If you get seasick, take a tablet before you board.
Frequently asked questions
No. The dolphins are wild and sightings can't be promised, although they're often seen at Dolphin House.
