You step off the skiff and the Red Sea opens like a bright, living map—turquoise shallows giving way to deeper cobalt where coral gardens fan out beneath the surface. The yacht hums at anchor by a sandbank; gulls wheel and the sea seems to breathe around the hull. Moments later a pod of wild dolphins appears, arcing and circling as if testing visitors for courage.
easy.
7 hours.
Suitable for most people with basic swimming ability; expect repeated short swims and some time standing on a moving boat.
Sataya is one of the Red Sea’s best dolphin locations and sightings are common, but dolphins are wild animals so sightings cannot be absolutely guaranteed.
Life vests are provided and the trip is marketed as suitable for all fitness levels, but non-swimmers should remain in shallow, guided areas and children must be supervised closely.
Avoid touching or standing on coral, use reef-safe sunscreen, and follow guides’ instructions—do not feed wildlife or remove any marine life.
Basic snorkeling skills help, but guides assist beginners—practice breathing in a calm pool or on deck before entering if you’re new.
The Red Sea coast has long been used by Bedouin fishers and maritime traders; reefs like Sataya also became modern dive destinations in the last 50 years.
Coral health faces warming and bleaching pressures; choose operators that practice no-touch policies, use reef-safe products and limit anchoring on coral to reduce impact.
