The boat slips from Hurghada harbor and the city skyline softens into a low, sun-streaked horizon. Sea spray tastes like salt and possibility; your guide checks masks and points toward a pale ribbon of reef where dolphins often play. At Dolphin House the water presses cool and clear against the hull, and the reef rises like a living city—fish threading through branching coral while currents test your balance and attention.

Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Use mineral-based sunscreen and apply before boarding to protect corals and reduce skin irritation from sun and spray.

A snug mask prevents leaks and lets you focus on marine life rather than clearing water; consider bringing your own if you have one.
Hydrate and pace yourself
An eight-hour day in sun requires regular water intake and paced snorkeling sessions—rest on the boat between floats.
Respect marine life
Do not chase or feed dolphins or touch coral—keep fins and hands low to avoid accidental contact with fragile reef.
