We can't guarantee 100% that we'll be able to see and swim with these beautiful, graceful animals. Through years of experience, our guides have discovered two or three spots where our dolphins prefer to hang out.

In the Hurghada area, there are five so-called Dolphin Houses: Shaab El Erg, El Fanous, Abu Galawa, Abu Nugar, and El Erg El Kebir. The chance of seeing and snorkeling among dolphins during your trip is approximately 95%. However, you must keep in mind that they live in the wild, so there's a slight but possible chance you won't see them. And depending on currents and weather conditions, it may not be possible to snorkel or swim with these amazing and friendly mammals.
