Hurghada Dolphin House Private Speedboat Tour
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.
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.

The private Dolphin House speedboat trip includes departure from Hurghada Marina, a visit to Dolphin House for open-sea snorkelling, and a second snorkelling stop at a Red Sea reef where you may see tropical fish and other marine life.
Check the booking details for the confirmed inclusions, such as equipment, refreshments, guide arrangements, and any hotel transfer, as these can vary by booking.
The trip duration is confirmed when you book, and the pace is shaped around two main snorkelling stops: Dolphin House first, followed by a second reef site in the Red Sea.
Allow extra time for the transfer to and from Hurghada Marina if you are staying outside the marina area. Sea conditions can affect the order or length of the stops.
The boat departs from Hurghada Marina, while hotel pickup and return transfer depend on the option selected at booking and are not assumed unless shown in your tour inclusions.
If you arrange your own transfer, our team can confirm the marina meeting point and practical arrival details before the excursion.
This is a family-friendly speedboat tour, but children and non-swimmers should stay with a responsible adult and follow the guide's instructions during every snorkelling stop.
You do not need advanced snorkelling experience, although you should be comfortable boarding a boat and entering the open sea. Tell us about children, swimming ability, medical needs, or mobility concerns before booking so we can check suitability.
Bring swimwear, a towel, sun protection, drinking water, and a change of clothes for this Red Sea boat trip; sunglasses and a secure waterproof bag are also useful.
Wear something comfortable for the speedboat and use reef-safe sun protection where possible. If you want to snorkel with dolphins in the open sea with the one you love, remember that dolphins are wild animals and sightings or close encounters cannot be guaranteed.

Your Itinerary
Our team picks you up from your Hurghada hotel and transfers you to Hurghada Marina, where you meet the crew and board your private speedboat. After a safety briefing, the boat heads across the Red Sea towards Dolphin House. The crossing usually takes around an hour, depending on sea conditions and the location of marine life that day. This is a relaxed way to explore Egypt’s Red Sea on a family-friendly speedboat tour, with space to sit together and enjoy the coastline as Hurghada fades behind you.
At Dolphin House, you enter the water for a guided snorkelling stop. If dolphins are present, you may snorkel with dolphins in the open sea with the one you love, always keeping a respectful distance and following the guide’s instructions. Sightings and swimming conditions cannot be guaranteed, as these are wild animals. After time in the water, pause aboard the boat for refreshments and lunch if included in your arrangements.
The speedboat then continues to a second reef, where you snorkel above coral formations and look for colourful reef fish and other Red Sea marine life. When the final stop is complete, we return to Hurghada Marina and provide your transfer back to your hotel.
