Cool trip!
The trip was very cool, the guides were friendly. We saw a dolphin and were also able to get into the water with it (what was a bit annoying was that another group from another boat arrived at the stop at the same time as us, and there were simply too many people; one lost track of the group very quickly and often got some fin in the face). Furthermore, I think it was simply too much for the dolphin with so many people in the water. It quickly lost interest... we did two snorkeling stops. What was a bit stupid was that we had to pay 10€ extra per person for the national fee or something, but it actually only said five euros per person in our booking, where you have to pay extra... otherwise it was a relaxed excursion. We would book again in the future.

A sensational experience!!!!
An absolutely magnificent and unforgettable experience 🐬💙 ! We were lucky enough to swim with the dolphins and go snorkeling in an exceptional setting. The dolphins were there, it was magical to be able to observe them in their natural environment. 🤩 The team was lovely, professional, and very reassuring. Everything was perfectly organized, with good advice and a lot of kindness. An activity that I recommend 100%! If you love the sea, animals, and beautiful experiences, go for it, you won't regret it! 🐬🌊✨

Very nice experience
Absolutely amazing experience! Swimming and snorkeling with the dolphins was unforgettable. Everything was very well organized, and the team was friendly, professional, and helpful throughout the entire trip. The dolphins were beautiful, and being so close to them was truly magical. We had an incredible time and would definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Egypt. One of the highlights of our holiday!

Nice dolphin tour with room for improvement
Overall a nice tour to the Dolphin House. We were able to see dolphins and the lunch on board was delicious. The two other snorkeling stops, however, were rather average. There is room for improvement in the organization: Non-swimmers and experienced snorkelers were put into the same group without distinction. Furthermore, we were not informed that you are not allowed to enter the upper deck with wet clothing, even though our towels were there. The duration of the excursion was also somewhat disappointing. Instead of the announced 7 to 8 hours, we were back after only about 5 hours. Despite these points, it was a nice excursion that would have easily earned 5 stars with slightly better organization.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hurghada Dolphin House Snorkeling & Swimming with Dolphins Cruise: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does Hurghada Dolphin House Snorkeling & Swimming with Dolphins Cruise cost?
+
Prices start at $9 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 Hurghada Dolphin House Snorkeling & Swimming with Dolphins Cruise 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 Hurghada Dolphin House Snorkeling & Swimming with Dolphins Cruise worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 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 Hurghada Dolphin House Snorkeling & Swimming with Dolphins Cruise?
+
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 Hurghada Dolphin House Snorkeling & Swimming with Dolphins Cruise 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 Hurghada Dolphin House Snorkeling & Swimming with Dolphins Cruise?
+
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 Hurghada Dolphin House Snorkeling & Swimming with Dolphins Cruise 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.
