Full-day Red Sea trip that mixes one snorkeling stop, the Dolphin House area, and one beginner-friendly diving stop with scuba gear included.
About this trip
A full-day Red Sea trip that gives you three sea moments in one go: one reef snorkeling stop, the Dolphin House area where the resident pod sometimes rests, and one beginner-friendly diving stop with scuba gear included. The captain picks the morning area based on wind, water clarity, and where the dolphins were last seen, so we never publish a fixed location. Wild dolphin sightings are never guaranteed.
Trip highlights
- Full-day Hurghada boat trip
- Chance to swim near the resident dolphin pod
- One reef snorkeling stop + one beginner diving stop
- VIP oriental breakfast, lunch, fruits & unlimited soft drinks
- Snorkeling and scuba diving equipment included
What you will see underwater
Coral reefs with parrotfish, anthias and butterflyfish at the snorkeling stop. The Dolphin House area can host bottlenose dolphins (sightings not guaranteed). The diving stop is on a calm shallow reef so first-time divers can hover, look, and breathe.
Identify every fish and coral you'll meetBest time to go
Year-round. Calmest sea is March to November. December to February still runs but check the morning wind forecast.
Travel tips
If you have never breathed underwater before, tell the dive guide so you get an extra-slow briefing. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a long-sleeve UV shirt, and a small towel. Do not chase the dolphins and do not touch any coral on the diving stop.
Bringing kids?
Suitable for families. The snorkeling stop is calm, kids can stay close to a parent. The diving stop is adults from 10 years on a strict instructor-to-guest ratio. Non-divers wait on board with snacks and drinks.

Great mix of activities
Loved that we got snorkeling, dolphins and a first dive in one day. The dive guide was patient with my husband who had never used scuba before. Breakfast and lunch on board were both generous. Crew was friendly.
Worth every euro
For €35 this is excellent value. We saw a small pod of dolphins from a respectful distance and the diving stop on the shallow reef was perfect for my first try. Hotel pickup from Hurghada was on time.
Honest and well organised
The crew were clear that dolphin sightings are never guaranteed. We were lucky and the pod passed near the boat. The diving stop on a shallow reef was the highlight for our 14-year-old.
Excellent day at sea
Three different experiences in one day, hard to beat. We did not see dolphins that morning but the snorkel and try-dive made up for it. Fresh fruit and unlimited soft drinks were a nice touch.
Genau richtig kombiniert
Schnorcheln, Delfingebiet und ein erster Tauchgang in einem Tag, perfekt für uns. Frühstück und Mittagessen an Bord waren sehr gut. Abholung pünktlich. Crew sehr aufmerksam.
Toller Tag mit ehrlichem Briefing
Wir haben Delfine aus der Ferne gesehen. Der Tauchstopp war ideal zum Reinschnuppern, der Guide hat mich Schritt für Schritt mitgenommen. Preis-Leistung top.
Perfekt für Familien
Unsere Kinder konnten schnorcheln und wir Erwachsenen den Tauchgang machen. Kein Drängen, alles entspannt. Obst und Snacks immer verfügbar.
Excellente journée
On a aimé la variété: snorkeling, zone des dauphins et une vraie première plongée. L'équipe est calme et respectueuse de la nature. Petit-déj copieux, déjeuner correct.

Premier baptême réussi
Premier baptême de plongée sur un récif peu profond, le moniteur a pris le temps. Pas de dauphins ce jour-là mais le snorkeling était splendide. À refaire.
Honnête et bien organisé
Briefing clair: les dauphins sont sauvages, pas de garantie. On en a vu de loin. La plongée encadrée vaut le coup. Bon rapport qualité-prix.
Отличный день
Снорклинг, дельфины и первое погружение в одном дне. Инструктор не торопил, всё спокойно. Завтрак сытный, обед вкусный. Заберали из отеля вовремя.
Очень рекомендую
Дельфинов видели издалека, экипаж не гонится за ними, это правильно. Дайв-стоп на мелком рифе идеален для новичка. Цена честная.
Стоит своих денег
За такие деньги получить три морских момента в одном дне, отличный выбор. Соки и фрукты в неограниченном количестве. Капитан опытный.
Top dag
Lekkere variatie: snorkelen, dolfijnen kijken en een try-dive. De duikinstructeur ging rustig met ons om. Ontbijt en lunch waren goed.
Eerlijk en goed
Dolfijnen niet gezien deze keer, maar het snorkelen en de eerste duik waren een blijver. Personeel rustig en behulpzaam, ophalen op tijd.
O zi minunată
Combinația de snorkeling, zona delfinilor și o primă scufundare e excelentă. Instructorul de scufundare a fost răbdător. Mâncare bună, preluare hotel la timp.
Recomand cu drag
Am văzut delfinii de la distanță, echipajul nu i-a urmărit, foarte etic. Scufundarea pe recif puțin adânc, perfectă pentru începători. Raport calitate-preț bun.
Felejthetetlen nap
Snorkelezés, delfines terület és egy első búvárkodás egy napon, telitalálat. Reggeli és ebéd a fedélzeten finom volt. A csapat türelmes és kedves.
Jó arány az ár-érték
Delfineket láttunk távolról, a kapitány nem zaklatta őket. Az első búvárkodás sekély zátonyon biztonságos volt. Ajánlom családoknak.
一天三种体验
浮潜、海豚区域和初次潜水都在一天里完成。教练耐心，简报清楚。早餐和午餐都不错，酒店接送准时。
推荐给家庭
没保证看到海豚但我们远远看到了一群。潜水站在浅礁上，安全舒适。性价比很高。
يوم ممتاز
فطار شرقي VIP حلو، غداء كويس، الفواكه والمشروبات بلا حدود. شفنا الدلافين من بعيد. الغطسة الأولى كانت تجربة لطيفة على شعاب ضحلة.
تجربة متكاملة
سنوركلينج وغطسة سكوبا للمبتدئين في يوم واحد. الكابتن والـ dive guide محترمين جداً، ما حدش لمس الدلافين ولا لاحقهم. السعر معقول.
أنصح بيها
كنت خايف من تجربة الغطس لأول مرة بس المدرب طمنّي وشرحلي بهدوء. التوصيل من فندقي في الغردقة كان مظبوط في الميعاد.
Honest dive briefing
I appreciated how clear the dive instructor was about safety. Dolphins were a bonus we saw later in the day. Snorkel reef was colourful, water visibility excellent.
Klare Empfehlung
Drei Stopps, gutes Essen, faire Preise. Der Tauchspot ist ruhig, perfekt für Einsteiger. Crew gibt einem nie das Gefühl, gehetzt zu werden.
Très bon rapport qualité-prix
À ce prix on a tout: snorkeling, dauphins (vus de loin), plongée encadrée, repas. Belle organisation. Recommandé pour les débutants.
Familievriendelijk
Onze tieners hebben de eerste duik gemaakt onder rustige begeleiding. Wij hebben gesnorkeld in helder water. Boot was netjes, eten goed.
مناسبة للعائلات
الأطفال استمتعوا بالسنوركلينج وأنا جربت الغطس لأول مرة. الـ dive guide كان معاي طول الوقت. الجو على المركب لطيف.
Стоит попробовать
Первый дайв-опыт на спокойном рифе, инструктор всё чётко объяснил. Дельфинов видели мельком, но день и без них уже был отличный.
Trip-specific questions
Is this trip suitable for first-time divers?
Yes. The diving stop is on a calm, shallow reef, and a certified instructor briefs you, gears you up, and stays in the water with you. If you have never used scuba before, tell the team when you board so the briefing is extra slow.
Will we definitely see dolphins?
No. Dolphins are wild and free to be anywhere on a given day. The captain chooses the morning area based on the latest pod movement, but sightings are never guaranteed.
Is hotel transfer included?
Free pickup and drop-off are included for hotels inside Hurghada city. Sahl Hasheesh, Makadi Bay, El Gouna, Soma Bay, and Safaga have an extra €10 per person round-trip transfer fee.
Is lunch included?
Yes. A VIP oriental breakfast, lunch on board, fresh fruits, and unlimited soft drinks are included.
What is the difference between this trip and the regular Dolphin House trip?
The regular trip is three snorkeling stops in the Dolphin House lagoon. This trip is one snorkeling stop, the Dolphin House area, and one beginner-friendly diving stop with scuba gear included.
What is not included in the price?
Outside-Hurghada hotel transfer (€10 per person), tips for the crew, and any optional photo or video session are not included.
