Private Boat Trips out of Hurghada
Dolphin House Snorkeling Trip from Hurghada
Dolphin House snorkeling trips from Hurghada take you by private boat to a Red Sea reef area known for clear water, coral gardens and regular dolphin sightings. Our team arranges your transfer to the marina, helps you settle on board and runs through the route before you leave the coast. The pace can suit families, couples and groups of friends travelling together.
Dolphin House is the main focus of the excursion. Spinner dolphins are often seen in the area, but sightings and close swimming depend on the animals and sea conditions that day. If dolphins are present and it is safe, you may have the chance to swim near them with the crew's guidance. We keep a respectful distance and never promise contact with wildlife.
When the boat reaches the snorkeling area, you can go snorkelling and swimming in the warm waters of the Red Sea. The reef sites have colourful fish, hard and soft corals, and sandy patches where you can pause between swims. Our crew helps with the onboard equipment, points out safer entry areas and keeps things comfortable for travellers who prefer a relaxed time in the water over a long swim.
You can also spend a worry-free day fishing from the boat. The crew shows you how to use the available gear and handles the practical details while you enjoy the open water. If scuba diving is included in your chosen arrangement, it must be done with the appropriate equipment, supervision and qualifications. Snorkeling is usually the simplest way for most travellers to see the reef, while diving suits those with relevant experience or a pre-arranged diving service.
Between water activities, you can sit in the shade, dry off and watch the coast change as you travel. An onboard lunch buffet provides a proper break, with time to eat at your own pace instead of hurrying back into the water. Drinks and meal arrangements can vary, so check the inclusions shown with your booking before travelling.
This private format gives your group more control than a shared boat trip. Ask the crew for help with equipment, take breaks when needed and keep the day at a pace that suits everyone. It works well for families and friends who want to stay together, as well as couples looking for a quieter day on the water. Children should be comfortable around boats and supervised closely near the water; travellers with limited mobility should discuss access arrangements before booking.
Our team organises the boat journey, water stops and return to Hurghada, so you do not need to arrange separate marina transport or find equipment locally. Bring swimwear, sun protection, a towel and any personal medication, and wear footwear suitable for a boat deck.

Your Itinerary
Our team collects you from your Hurghada accommodation and transfers you to the marina, where you board your private boat for the Red Sea. After the safety briefing, the boat heads towards Dolphin House, a reef area known for clear water and frequent dolphin sightings. The exact route and time at sea depend on weather and sea conditions, so your guide will explain the plan before departure.
At Dolphin House, you can go snorkelling and swimming in the warm waters, using the onboard equipment to see coral, reef fish and other Red Sea marine life. If dolphins are nearby, you may watch them from the water or the boat, always following the guide’s instructions and keeping a respectful distance. There is also time to spend a worry-free day fishing from the boat. An onboard lunch buffet is served during the outing, with time to relax between activities.
