DOLPHINS WOW
Hi. I had booked provisionally with another company for £80, I changed my mind and booked this trip which was much cheaper and thank god I did. Excellent trip. Picked up at hotel and transferred to boat waiting by Hilton Hotel. Very warm welcome. Boat was very clean and staff brilliant. In all bout 20 on board. Made our way out to Dolphin house didn't know what to expect but fingers crossed. We arrived in area with quite a few boats about. Staff on board informed us if we wanted to get in and swim we were welcome to. They knew what they were doing with a dolphin spotter in front of boat. WOW WOW the dolphins came. What an experience to see close up. Absolutely amazing. Plenty of time spent here with pictures galore lol. We left and stopped another 2 times for a chance to snorkel with equipment provided. Lunch was provided very nice and constant flow of soft drinks and coffee and tea provided in price. We finished trip and again transferred back to hotel. Don't just think about it BOOK this trip. 1st class very well organised trip by people who knew what they were doing.

Swim with Dolphins VIP snorkeling Boat Trip with lunch - Hurghada: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does Swim with Dolphins VIP snorkeling Boat Trip with lunch - Hurghada cost?
+
Prices start at $3 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 VIP snorkeling Boat Trip with lunch - 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 Swim with Dolphins VIP snorkeling Boat Trip with lunch - Hurghada worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 115 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 Swim with Dolphins VIP snorkeling Boat Trip with lunch - 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 Swim with Dolphins VIP snorkeling Boat Trip with lunch - 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 Swim with Dolphins VIP snorkeling Boat Trip with lunch - Hurghada?
+
Around 40 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 Swim with Dolphins VIP snorkeling Boat Trip with lunch - 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.
