The engine cuts through glassy Red Sea water and the coastline of Hurghada slides aft — orange buildings shrinking into a low, sunbleached spine. In 40–50 minutes the sea opens into a blue plain where the Dolphin House appears as a scatter of coral bommies and a ribbon of white foam. Dolphins often arrive like punctuation marks in the surf, curious and swift, inviting you into a short, wild conversation.

History
The Red Sea’s reefs formed over thousands of years on a rifted, uplifted shelf; modern tourism developed alongside local fishing communities and port towns like Hurghada.
Conservation
HEPCA and local operators enforce distance and time limits for dolphin interactions; visitors should avoid touching coral, feeding wildlife, or using non–reef-safe sunscreens.

Bring a reef-safe sunscreen
Protect skin and coral—use mineral-based, reef-safe SPF and reapply after swimming.
Timing matters
Book early morning or late afternoon departures for calmer seas and more active dolphins.
Wear a rashguard or thin wetsuit
Water and wind can feel cooler on the return; a lightweight suit provides sun and thermal protection.
Secure a dry bag for valuables
Phone, ID and a spare towel do better sealed; boats can be bouncy when approaching the reef.
