9.ROYAL Dolphin House & Water Sports Snorkeling Sea Trip – Hurghada

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 575 reviews · from $10Top rated

Sail from Hurghada to Dolphin House for an eight-hour Red Sea outing with hotel pickup, guided snorkeling, dolphin watching, water activities, lunch, and drinks. Eslam is praised for attentive help in the water. Dolphins are wild animals, so sightings and swimming time can vary, and extra cash fees apply.

“As a solo traveler, the setup was a enjoyable opportunity to meet new people. Also, the transfer was smooth, the ship itself was neat and cozy, and the guides on board were professional and attentive, ensuring everyone well-informed throughout the journey. And the dolphin encounters were incredible and truly magical! However, I gave the trip 4 stars because the water sports activities were canceled due to government regulations, which was understandable but still a letdown. And the trip lasted around 6 hours instead of the advertised 8 hours. Overall, I had a great time and would recommend this experience to others.”
