🐬 About Dolphin House

Dolphin House (also called Dolphin Reef) is a world-famous spot located near the southern tip of the Red Sea, about 45 minutes by boat from Hurghada. It is a natural gathering place for spinner dolphins who come to rest, play, and socialize. Unlike dolphinaria, here the animals are completely wild and free. Our experienced captains know how to approach respectfully to maximize the chance of encounters without disturbing the dolphins. Snorkelers can enter the water and watch these graceful creatures from a safe distance – often dolphins swim right up to curious guests!
