Frequently Asked Questions

This excursion (tour 69) runs as a shared group trip aboard a boat with fellow travellers, keeping costs down. The private version (tour 67) reserves the whole boat exclusively for your group. Both follow the same route and activities at Sataya Dolphin Reef.

A resident pod of usually 60 to 80 spinner dolphins calls Sataya home, making it one of the Red Sea's largest permanent dolphin communities and encounters highly likely. Expect to find them resting in the lagoon each morning and more active in open water afterward.

Pack a swimsuit, towel, reef-safe sunscreen if possible, sunglasses, and a hat; snorkeling gear is supplied. A light jacket can come in handy during the early-morning boat ride, and many guests bring an underwater camera for this trip.

Absolutely, kids are welcome on board. Younger ones can watch the dolphins from the deck, while older children (usually 8 and up) may snorkel with an adult nearby. Life jackets suit every age, so let us know your children's ages at booking time.

    Ein wunderbares Erlebnis. Die Delfine waren beeindruckend zu sehen und die Organisation der Tour war ausgezeichnet. Vielleicht hätte ich mir etwas mehr Zeit im Wasser gewünscht, aber insgesamt war es eine großartige Erfahrung.
