Sunlight slices the Red Sea into glittering ribbons as the boat slips away from Hurghada’s marina. The air smells of salt and diesel, voices murmur in anticipation, and the horizon opens to the shallow, reef-studded waters known locally as Dolphin House. After an hour’s cruise you’ll tie up above coral gardens where dolphins often patrol—curious, quick, and indifferent to human schedules.

Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
The Red Sea’s corals are sensitive—use reef‑safe sunscreen and reapply after swimming to protect both your skin and the reef.
Prepare for motion
If you’re prone to seasickness, take preventative meds before departure and choose a seat in the middle of the boat where motion is gentler.
Respect wildlife distance
Dolphins are wild—observe from a respectful distance and never chase or feed marine animals during snorkel stops.
Secure camera and footwear
Use a wrist strap or floating case for cameras and bring water shoes for boarding ladders and slippery docks.
