    1. Dolphin House Aqua Center

      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 observe 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.  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. Cruise back to the pier for your transfer back to your hotel in Hurghada in the late afternoon

    Nice Dolphin Watching

    We arranged a private, full-day boat trip with Excursies Egypte and were satisfied. For the captain and crew of our boat, I would absolutely give 5 stars, but the tour company itself was not quite at that level. Firstly, we were led to believe that we had an 80-90% chance of actually swimming with dolphins, but the captain told us right off the bat that this was extremely unlikely. The water was a bit rough, but conditions were pretty typical, so I think it is fair to say that swimming with dolphins is a rarity. We did see dolphins, and truthfully we would not have wanted to jump in and attempt to swim with them. There were loads of other boats that were harassing the dolphins, and I'm glad that our captain was more respectful. He also managed to get us some really good, close views of the dolphins, and we definitely saw them better than we would have from in the sea. In addition, we enjoyed some nice snorkeling and some time on Orange Beach. The lunch provided on the boat was absolutely delicious, and the guide was friendly and informative. All in all, I would have appreciated if Excursies had been as honest as the captain, but still I would recommend this tour.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your great review and feedback after your amazing Dolphin House Snorkeling Day Cruise with Lunch from Hurghada. We're delighted to hear that you were satisfied with the captain and crew, and that you enjoyed the dolphins, snorkeling, and the lunch on board. We sincerely apologize for any misunderstanding about the dolphin swim experience. We always strive to provide accurate information and will take your feedback into account to better communicate the chances of swimming with dolphins in the future. We appreciate your understanding and your recommendation. We hope to welcome you again for another memorable experience. Best regards, Rana

    Great boat trips

    We did 3 boat trips in 11 days through Dolphin House. Huge thanks to Amur and Hussein at Premier Le Reve for sorting everything out. The trip was exactly as promised, no detours, no stops at shops. Just a 20 min ride to the boat and 3 fantastic days out. Highly recommend this trip

    Response from the operator: Dear valuable guest Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for taking your precious time to describe your adventure with us.

    Very good

    We had a fantastic day at sea, all the crew were very helpful in making sure safety is a priority. Food was good as well. There was only a little misunderstanding regarding the charge for the pick up. I didn’t realise there was an extra charge for hotels outside Hurghada ( never been in Hurghada before so no idea our hotel was a bit further away) but all was sorted with no issues. Driver that picked us up could not have been more friendly and chatty. Al in all a very good experience.

    Response from the operator: Dear, Thank you very much for your booking with Excursiesegypte.nl, we are happy to read your review

    Dolphin House Snorkeling Day Cruise with Lunch from Hurghada: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.

    How much does Dolphin House Snorkeling Day Cruise with Lunch from Hurghada cost?

    +

    Prices start at $46 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hurghada usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Dolphin House Snorkeling Day Cruise with Lunch from Hurghada take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hurghada is not rushed.

    Is Dolphin House Snorkeling Day Cruise with Lunch from Hurghada worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hurghada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Dolphin House Snorkeling Day Cruise with Lunch from Hurghada?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Dolphin House Snorkeling Day Cruise with Lunch from Hurghada suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Dolphin House Snorkeling Day Cruise with Lunch from Hurghada?

    +

    Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hurghada can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hurghada and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Dolphin House Snorkeling Day Cruise with Lunch from Hurghada start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hurghada within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Hurghada?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Hurghada experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hurghada Diving Adventure one Day with two Dives Boat Trip, Hurghada to Cairo: Pyramids & Museum for First-Time Visitors, Hurghada Scuba Diving Full Day Boat Trip With Lunch & Transfer. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Hurghada?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Hurghada?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Dolphin House Snorkeling Day Cruise with Lunch from Hurghada?

    +
