Swimming with Dolphins Excursion from Hurghada

Depending on your selected session, you watch the dolphin performance before swimming or after it. The show gives you a chance to see the animals respond to trainer instructions through movement, jumps and playful routines. Our team points out the practical details for the next part of the visit so you know where to wait and when to prepare.

The performance is also useful preparation for the close encounter. You can observe how the dolphins move through the water and how the trainers communicate with them, while keeping a respectful distance from the pool. The atmosphere is lively, but the schedule remains organised around the swimming groups.

Allow time for the show and the movement between the seating area, changing facilities and pool. If your booking uses the later session, the performance comes first and the swim follows in the afternoon. If you swim earlier, the show forms the next part of your visit before the break and return journey.

The central activity is a supervised dolphin encounter in the pool. Each traveller takes part according to the centre's allocated session and instructions. The programme includes close contact with a dolphin, a dance while holding the animal by its breast fins, and a short ride while holding the dorsal fin. One element is the Swim 5 Minutes with dolphin experience, with the exact sequence managed by the trainers on site.

Listen carefully to the briefing before entering the water. Trainers explain where to place your hands, how to move safely and when to release your hold. The experience is active but closely controlled, so you do not need advanced swimming skills; tell the team in advance if you are nervous or need extra assistance.

For many travellers, the direct contact creates a strong sense of connection and a chance to feel yourself in harmony with wildlife. It can also be an unforgettable present for someone special, with the memory shaped by the encounter itself rather than by a rushed visit.

After the show and swimming session, you have time to change, sit down and take a break at the venue before leaving Makadi. A meal or light refreshment may be arranged according to the booking details and the day's schedule; inclusions can vary, so check what is listed for your tour. This pause is useful after time in the water and gives you space to collect personal belongings.

You may also use this interval to look over any photographs or keepsakes available through the centre, if you choose to purchase them separately. Our team remains available for practical questions about the meeting point and departure arrangements. Keep your phone and valuables secure, particularly while changing or taking part in the pool activity.

The visit can leave you feeling that you have found a small way to reach a miracle through direct contact with an animal you usually see only from a distance. When the group is ready, we confirm everyone is present before starting the return transfer to Hurghada.

Once the group has finished at Dolphin World, our driver takes you back from Makadi to your hotel in Hurghada. The return follows the same coastal route and is arranged around the end of your chosen dolphin session. Keep your belongings with you when leaving the venue, including swimwear, towels and any items collected during the visit.

Use the journey to relax after the pool activity and show. If you have arranged a later session, the transfer back takes place in the evening; the exact drop-off time depends on the session schedule, traffic and the location of your hotel. Our team helps make sure each traveller is returned to the correct hotel.

The excursion ends with hotel drop-off in Hurghada. At the time of booking, tell us about any mobility needs, children travelling with you or other practical concerns so we can confirm the arrangements before the day.
