Your Itinerary

Following a pick-up from your El Gouna hotel, transfer to the pier and set sail for the famous Dolphin House area, where a large number of dolphins can be found swimming in their natural environment. Spend about 1.5 hours sunbathing before you reach the Dolphin House. Here, if Mother Nature is accommodating, you will see dozens of dolphins playing in the water and swimming alongside your boat. If the weather allows, you can even jump in and play with them! Experience the dolphins in their natural habitat, living away from the constraints of an artificial pool and controlled environment. Observe their normal behavior; if they choose to come and play with you, it’s according to their will. The area is ideal for snorkeling whether the dolphins are playful or not. Admire the beautiful corals and a multitude of exotic fish far from the tourist crowds. You will make a total of 3 stops in different locations. A small buffet lunch is also served on board, and if you are interested in diving, the crew can organize a professional instructor for a trial lesson (please advise in advance). Cruise back to the pier for your transfer back to your hotel in El Gouna in the late afternoon
