SNORKELING AT DOLPHIN HOUSE FROM MARSA ALAM

Description

Snorkeling at Dolphin House (Shaʿab Samadai): A Day to Swim with Wild Dolphins from Marsa Alam

If swimming with dolphins in their free and graceful world has ever been on your wish list, this one-day snorkeling trip in the Red Sea is tailor-made for it. Departing from Marsa Alam, the journey takes you to Lion’s favorite—Dolphin House from Marsa Alam, locally known as Shaʿab Samadai—where spinner dolphins rest and play in pristine reef waters. Expect laughter, awe, and salty skin.

🌅 Morning Pickup & Sail-Out from Marsa Alam

07:30 AM — Your friendly tour rep meets you at your hotel. Board a clean, air‑conditioned van for a short ride to Marsa Alam harbor. It’s early, but the desert-air silence and anticipation of what’s ahead set the mood instantly.

08:30 AM — At the marina, you step aboard your boat. The sea breeze hits as the vessel glides over blue water. You meet your English-speaking guide, receive a brief safety talk, and begin the 45-minute sail toward Shaʿab Samadai.

🐬 First Snorkel Stop: Dolphin House Reef

09:15 AM — Arrival at Dolphin House. The horseshoe‑shaped reef offers natural shelter—ideal for spinner dolphins to rest and play. It’s not swimming with dolphins in tanks—it’s shared space with wild, free mammals.

You slip into the water. Moments later, groups of dolphins circle you—some speeding past, some looping around slowly, others hovering curiously below. You’re immersed in nature’s ballet.

First snorkeling session lasts about 45 minutes. Then it’s back to the boat for a rest, snacks, and water—give yourself time to breathe it all in.

🏖️ Relax Boat & Second Snorkel Stop

10:45 AM — While some guests linger sipping tea on deck, others return for a second reef stop. Same reef, different light, and different moments as water refracts coral into art and reef life stays active.

Each session offers about another 45 min of exploration—just enough to let the sea’s rhythm sink in.

🍽️ Lunch Under Open Sky — Nourish at Sea

Between snorkeling sessions, lunch is served buffet-style on the boat. Think simple, satisfying—grilled protein, fresh salad, local sides, and chilled drinks. It’s midday, sunlit, and filled with stories shared across wet towels and sunscreen-scented skin.

🚤 Optional Dive & Final Swim

Option: If you’re a certified diver, the team can arrange an extra dive at Samadai—an opportunity to explore deeper reef walls and silky ocean floor.

Otherwise, the day winds gently with a chance for one more short snorkel or simply basking on deck.

🌅 Return to Marsa Alam Harbor

15:30 PM — The boat sails back. Silence drifts across the water—people are tired, content, maybe slightly sun-soaked. Observers swap videos and smiles. The reef’s memory keeps playing.

16:30 PM — You arrive at the harbor and catch your van home, back to your hotel. You’ve had seven hours of quiet wonder—and hours more of memory to unpack.
