Your day

Dolphin House (Sha'ab El Erg) is a full-day boat trip to a horseshoe reef where wild dolphins are often seen. After morning pickup the boat cruises to the reef, where you snorkel over healthy coral and, with luck and respect for the animals, swim near pods of wild spinner dolphins. Lunch and drinks are served on board and snorkel gear is provided. Dolphin sightings are wild and never guaranteed, but they're frequent here.

The dolphins are wild, so we never chase or crowd them — the crew positions the boat and you enter calmly. Sightings are common but can't be promised. Bring a towel, hat and reef-safe sunscreen.

The dolphins of Sha'ab El Erg are a resident pod, which is why sightings here are so frequent, but we always keep a respectful distance and let them approach on their own terms. Mornings are usually calmest, so an early start gives the best chance of a magical encounter.
