It was again so great with Manolo tours

We have known Manolo Tours since December 2024, when we booked a tour for the first time (Private tour Cairo by Plain) On April 9, 2026, we went on vacation to Hurghada again and contacted Manolo to ask if he could provide a speedboat for an afternoon to go boating and snorkel at beautiful spots. Manolo arranged everything for us, and on the agreed day and time, he picked us up at our hotel. We had a wonderful, enjoyable afternoon on the water, including a delicious fruit platter and drinks. On the way back to the hotel, Manolo took us to a small local restaurant where we ate authentic Egyptian food among the locals, and then made another stop to buy the tastiest watermelon we had ever eaten. The next day, we spontaneously contacted Manolo again to ask if we could go out on the water with the speedboat one more time. Of course, this was possible, and the following day we had another wonderful afternoon on the water, including the delicious fruit platter and drinks. Afterwards, we had tea with Manolo's family, who own a shop near the boat. Once again, it was a very pleasant and relaxed afternoon during which we could indicate what we wanted to do. All good things come to an end, and we had to head home. Manolo picked us up from the hotel and drove us to the airport. Manolo, and of course skipper Ahmed, thank you for everything and the very good time and we will see each other again next year.

AMAZING!!!

Absolutely fantastic trip, well organised crew on board the boat were the friendliest bunch I’ve ever met. Would definitely recommend and also book with Manelo as it’ll be cheaper!

Response from the operator: Hello sir. We have been in contact via WhatsApp, but I haven't seen you in person. However, I was fortunate enough to speak with you. Thank you very much.

very nice trip

It was a very nice trip. We spent the whole day at the sea, we saw a dolphin and it was playing near us, and we were able to swim near it, really cute creatures. After I spent happy times with the dolphins, the boat took us to beautiful areas full of coral reefs and colorful fish. Food was delicious and clean. I recommend it

The best dolphin trip

It was a very nice and enjoyable day. The car took us to the boat and the captain and the staff were very respectful and friendly and took care of everything we wanted. After sailing we saw the dolphin and swim beside it This was awesome, we made two dives in the coral reef which was fantastic. I advise all ambassadors to choose Manolo, our thanks Manolo Tours Egypt

Dolphin Watching Trip with snorkeling and the island: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Dolphin Watching Trip with snorkeling and the island cost?

+

Prices start at $30 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 Watching Trip with snorkeling and the island take?

+

Plan for about 7 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 Watching Trip with snorkeling and the island worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Watching Trip with snorkeling and the island?

+

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 Watching Trip with snorkeling and the island suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Dolphin Watching Trip with snorkeling and the island?

+

Around 2 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Dolphin Watching Trip with snorkeling and the island 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: Luxor Valley of the Kings & Tutankhamun Tomb Trip, Orange Bay Island, Luxury Cruise to Orange Bay and Hula Hula island Trip. 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.
