Dolphins and snorkeling...
Seeing dolphins and snorkeling was great, but afterwards they wanted to overcharge photos and videos which ruined whole experience.

Great dolphin experience
We had a fantastic day. Saw several groups of dolphins, the guides on the boat were fantastic, and got into the water with younger swimmers. All crew were great fun and the food on board was fab too

No chance of swimming with dolphins
After a slight hiccup of the driver going to the wrong hotel, we were picked up, 7 of us in a 7 seater was a tight squeeze. The boat was ok, the usual jossling for seats but this was to be expected. The dolphins...there was 5/6 large boats and probably 10 smaller rib style boats all in the same area. Every time 3/4 dolphins were spotted all the small boats charged in and a few swimmers jumped in. There was no way we were getting anywhere near the dolphins, let alone swimming with them. The dolphins would then go under water and the hunt was on again. When someone spotted the dolphins all of the boats would once again charge in. We has 2 stops snorkelling on a reef. Lunch was ok, rice, chicken and salad. The crew were nice. But... we paid to swim with dolphins and there seemed to be no chance of that on this trip.

Why this scores 92

Swim With Dolphins at Dolphin House With Lunch - Hurghada: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does Swim With Dolphins at Dolphin House With Lunch - Hurghada cost?
+
Prices start at $23 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 Swim With Dolphins at Dolphin House With Lunch - Hurghada 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 Swim With Dolphins at Dolphin House With Lunch - Hurghada worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 92 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 765 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Hurghada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Swim With Dolphins at Dolphin House With Lunch - Hurghada?
+

Is Swim With Dolphins at Dolphin House With Lunch - Hurghada 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 Swim With Dolphins at Dolphin House With Lunch - Hurghada?
+
Around 268 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 Swim With Dolphins at Dolphin House With Lunch - Hurghada start and how do I get there?
+

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.
