Private Speedboat Excursions from Sahel Hashesh
Dolphin House Speedboat Tour from Sahl Hasheesh
Dolphin House speedboat tour from Sahl Hasheesh starts at Sahl Hasheesh Marina and heads into the Red Sea for open-water snorkelling, followed by a second stop at a coral reef. A private boat keeps the day flexible and gives you more time on the water than a larger group cruise. The crew gives clear instructions, leaving you free to enjoy the sea, the reef and the company of the people travelling with you.
The main reason for visiting Dolphin House is the chance to see dolphins in their natural environment. This is an open-sea encounter, so dolphins may swim near the boat or pass through the water at a distance. We do not guarantee sightings, and responsible snorkelling means watching marine life without chasing, touching or feeding it. When conditions allow, you can enter the water to see more of the surrounding Red Sea habitat.
After Dolphin House, the speedboat moves on to another snorkelling site. The reef offers a different view of the sea floor, with coral formations and colourful fish moving between them. Depending on local conditions, you may see parrotfish, butterflyfish, wrasse and other reef species. The crew explains where to enter and helps you use the stop well while keeping the pace comfortable for the group.
This is a practical way to see Egypt’s Red Sea on a family-friendly speedboat tour. Families spend less time travelling between sites and more time swimming, watching fish and resting on the boat. Children should be confident in the water and supervised closely by an adult. Couples can also snorkel with dolphins in the open sea with the one you love, without the feel of a crowded excursion.
We keep the day focused on the water rather than adding unnecessary stops. The speedboat takes a direct route from the marina, and the private arrangement makes it easier to discuss the pace with the crew. You can stay in the water longer if conditions and group comfort allow, or return to the boat for a rest between snorkelling sessions. Sea conditions and local safety decisions may change the route and the length of each stop.
Snorkelling equipment is provided, though you can bring your own mask if you prefer a familiar fit. Basic swimming ability is important. Non-swimmers should not enter the water unless suitable flotation support and close adult supervision are available. The boat may be less suitable for travellers with serious back problems, limited mobility or a strong sensitivity to movement at sea.
Meet us at Sahl Hasheesh Marina unless a separate transfer has been arranged. Wear swimwear under light clothing, protect yourself from the sun, and bring a towel, water and a waterproof way to carry personal items. Follow the crew’s instructions on the boat and in the water; the team may change the route or snorkelling stops when sea conditions require it.

The excursion includes a private speedboat departure from Sahel Hashesh Marina, a snorkelling stop at Dolphin House, and a second stop at a Red Sea reef where you can see tropical fish and other marine life.
Snorkelling equipment, a guide, refreshments, and hotel transfers depend on the booking option, so check the inclusions shown for your selected tour.
The total duration depends on the sea route, time spent at the snorkelling sites, and the booking option, with the day arranged at a relaxed pace around the private speedboat journey from Sahel Hashesh Marina.
We visit Dolphin House first and then make another snorkelling stop at a reef before returning to the marina. Your confirmed booking details show the planned duration.
The meeting point for this excursion is Sahel Hashesh Marina, and hotel pickup or a return transfer is included only when it is specifically listed in your booking option.
If transport is not included, our team can confirm the practical arrangements before the tour. Please allow time to reach the marina before departure.
This family-friendly speedboat tour suits children who are comfortable travelling by boat, but snorkelling in the open sea requires basic water confidence and close supervision from a responsible adult.
Non-swimmers may be able to enjoy the boat and reef scenery, depending on the safety arrangements, but should tell us before booking. Boarding a speedboat and moving between the boat and water can be difficult for travellers with limited mobility.
Bring swimwear, a towel, reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, drinking water, and any personal medication you need for the day. Sunglasses with a secure strap can also help during the boat ride.
We cannot guarantee calm sea conditions or dolphin sightings, so bring a light layer as well. If you want to snorkel with dolphins in the open sea with the one you love, follow the guide's instructions and keep a respectful distance from marine life.

Your Itinerary
Your day begins with pickup from your hotel and a transfer to Sahel Hashesh Marina. After meeting the crew and receiving a short safety briefing, you board the private speedboat and head into the Red Sea. This is a practical way to uncover Egypt’s Red Sea on a family-friendly speedboat tour, with less time spent travelling than on a larger shared boat. The crew explains how to use the snorkelling equipment and where to enter the water safely.
The main stop is Dolphin House, where you have time to swim and snorkel in the open sea. Dolphins may pass through the area, but they are wild animals and sightings cannot be guaranteed. If you are travelling as a couple, this is your chance to snorkel with dolphins in the open sea with the one you love, while children and less confident swimmers can stay close to the boat and crew. The water may also reveal reef fish below the surface.
After the first swim, the speedboat continues to a second reef for another snorkelling stop. Expect colourful fish, coral formations and time to relax on board between swims. A light meal or refreshments are taken during a suitable break, according to your booking arrangements. You then cruise back to Sahel Hashesh Marina, where your vehicle meets you for the return transfer to your hotel.
