Frequently Asked Questions
The Dolphin House, also known as Shaab El Erg, is a reef north of Hurghada that is home to a resident pod of spinner dolphins. These playful dolphins often swim alongside snorkelers and boats, providing an unforgettable wildlife encounter. The reef itself also has beautiful coral gardens.
The trip includes private transfers from El Gouna to the boat, full day on a comfortable boat with two snorkeling stops (Dolphin House reef and one additional reef), snorkeling equipment, lunch, unlimited soft drinks and water, and the chance to swim with dolphins.
While sightings cannot be 100% guaranteed as these are wild, free-roaming dolphins, the resident pod at Shaab El Erg makes encounters very likely. Dolphins frequently swim alongside boats and curious individuals often come close to snorkelers. Our guides know the best spots to maximise your chances.
Yes, children of all ages are welcome on this trip. Life vests and smaller snorkeling equipment are available for younger children. Seeing wild dolphins swimming freely is a magical, educational experience for children. The boat deck is safe and comfortable for families.

1) Swimming with dolphins in El Gouna
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
