With its abundance of marine wildlife and its sheltered, clear waters, the reefs of the Dolphin House offer some of the most inviting and intriguing snorkeling conditions anywhere in the world. And if you've always wanted to go diving, but haven't had the chance yet, there's no better time than when you're in Marsa Alam.

Start with pick-up from your hotel in Marsa Alam or Quseir and head towards the marine to begin a really beautiful underwater exploration. You have three options:

Option 1: Beginner, a full-day Red Sea cruise experience for beginners with 1 intro dive plus 2 snorkelling stops and lunch. Diving equipment is included

Option 2: 1-day course, a full-day Red Sea cruise experience for advanced divers plus 1 snorkeling stop and lunch. Diving equipment is excluded

Option 3: 1-day snorkeling, a full-day snorkeling experience with 2 snorkeling stops and lunch (not including diving)

You'll board a Red Sea cruise with diving platforms and open ladders, making it perfect for beginners and advanced divers. There's also an experienced crew on board to help you with all your needs. There would be a chance to encounter dolphins in their natural environment. To ensure everyone's safety, there are also extra oxygen tanks and first aid kits.

See over 1,000 invertebrate species and 200 types of soft and hard coral in the Red Sea that will take your breath away! After this once-in-a-lifetime experience, you'll be taken back to the marina and finally dropped off at your hotel.

    Lange Anreise, die Rückfahrt mit dem Boot war wirklich nicht angenehm, extrem starker Wellengang, man konnte eigentlich nicht aufstehen und musste sich nur dauernd festhalten. Wir haben nicht einen einzigen Delphin, keine Schildkröten, keine Seekühe gesehen. Das Riff ist total überlaufen!

    Es war unglaublich! Wurden zwar etwas verspätet erst abgeholt (wir brauchten einen größeren Bus) aber dafür wurde die Zeit dann wieder aufgeholt bzw war der Trip länger; die Bootsfahrt dauerte ca 30 min ; Dann haben mein Partner und ich unseren ersten Tauchgang gemacht, es wurde alles sehr ausführlich und mehrfach erklärt! Der Tauchgang ging pro Person ca 20-25 minuten durch ein Riff es war unglaublich!!! Dannach gab es 2 mal Schnorcheln einmal in Dolphinhouse, haben sehr viele Delphine gesehen

    Golven te hoog. Daarom niet naar dolfijnen. Windkracht was al lang bekend. De excursie had afgeblazen moeten worden. Dus niet eerst iedereen op de boot en dan alternatieven aanbieden. Niet netjes vind ik.

    Sehr gute Anleitung des Tauchlehrers und der ganzen Mannschaft an Bord des Schiffes. Sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend in allen Bereichen. Sehr schöne Unterwasserwelt. Essen hervorragend und qualitativ hochwertig. Allerdings sollte man schon Seetauglich für die Überfahrt zum Nationalpark sein, da es sehr stark schwankend an Bord des Bootes zuging und es vielen Gästen schlecht wurde. Tabletten gegen Seekrankheit sind vom Team verteilt worden.
