About this experience

Set sail on one of the Red Sea's most magical adventures — a full-day boat trip to Sataya Reef, home to one of the largest resident dolphin populations in Egypt. Board a spacious dive boat at the marina and cruise south across the open sea. As you approach the horseshoe-shaped reef, your captain spots the dolphin pod resting in the sheltered lagoon. Following strict eco-guidelines, your guide gently enters the water with you near the dolphins. Spinner dolphins are curious and playful, often swimming close to snorkelers and performing their famous aerial spins. The experience of floating in crystal-clear deep water surrounded by dozens of wild dolphins is truly life-changing. Between dolphin encounters, snorkel the spectacular reef walls of Sataya, covered in vibrant soft corals and teeming with tropical fish. Enjoy a fresh buffet lunch on the boat and a second reef snorkeling stop before cruising home.
