Raul_M, Apr 2024

Great family fun with an amazing underwater experience.

Nicholas_B, Dec 2023

Everything was great and all of the crew were very friendly and helpful. We swam with just one dolphin but got quite close. Snorkeling was great and the photographer did a great job 👍 A grand day out which could only have been better if they had gone further afield to find a pod of dolphins rather than stay close to shore to experience a solo dolphin.

Didn't see Dolphins but was still a great experience

Pearse_N, Dec 2022

It was a great experience for me and my 9 year old daughter but we didn't actually get to see any dolphins. But we did get to see a lot of colourful fish. As I call them "Finding Nemo fish" especially in and around the Corals. The crew was great, lunch was great and overall it was a great day. There is a photographer on board who charges €50 for pictures and videos which is a bit expensive but I managed to get the price down to €35 so just like everything in Egypt it's all about barganing.

Great experience!

Sofia_V, Aug 2022

Amazing trip! The crew on the boat was very nice and made for a great experience. Communication with the tour operator went smoothly and the trip was well organized. I truly recommend this tour.

Not a "swim with the dolphins tour"

Martin_C, Jun 2022

It is a nice snorkeling tour, but clearly NOT a "Swim with the DOLPHIN TOUR". We arrive to the dolphin area, we saw them for 5 minutes then went away toward an other area to do snorkeling. When we ask about swimming with dolphin (like they say in the tour description) they say there was to many boat (as if there was days with less boat). In reality it was obvious that they never had any intention to stop to swim with the dolphins. An other point is that there was much more people on the tour that the maximum they say in the description too.

Fantastic trip!!

Donna_G, Apr 2022

Fantastic trip with fantastic hosts! The boat was lovely and the guides fun and welcoming! We got to see and swim with the dolphins and the snorkelling was fab! Definitely recommended 🤿 ! Thanks for a great day guys 🛥🐬🐠

Fun

Ramak_K, Feb 2022

Everything goes well , about pickup and we arrive in boat, boat trip was fantastic and boys working there try alot to give you joy and happy trip and find dolphines for us, lunch were the best I ate in Egypt. Just the problem I gave 3 stars its because we paid 550 pond to have our pictures and video to give us flashmemory at 11 oclock in our hotel but in the morning we checkout and they were no flash memory waiting us. It was our fault that paid full money, if u wanna do it just pay deposit to them.

Entertaining and Great value

MortenBoesdal_H, Jan 2022

The captain, guide and crew were funny and social - and they found the dolphins that was the main goal for this day tour. The trip was a bit long perhaps because of coral diving was included, but fair enogh.

Perfect dophin day

Rene_A, Nov 2021

From the pickup to the the boading, briefing and actual snorkling with dophin we had a wonderful day with Barmack and his team. We booked a similar trip two days before for double the price and halve the fun. BR, Rene

Great experience

Irina_A, Sep 2021

This was a great experience! Neat boat, extremely nice staff which didn't only make sure we had fun and all was ok, but they were also very careful to make known also the safety requirements during the trip. We spotted dolphins, but at no time I felt that we harassed them in any way. The snorkeling was different, as it was in more deep waters, nevertheless, very beautiful. Overall, I could only recommend 😊

Snorkelling

Carl_W, Nov 2020

Fantastic trip at a great price. I have no complaints. The snorkelling was fantastic, the water is crystal clear and there is marine life everywhere.

Great day

Andra_P, Nov 2019

We had great day visiting Dolphin House! The tour is very well organized, fun people, clean boat. We have great memories: we saw and we actually swim with dolphins. Fresh drinks all day long, good food. Recommended! I took many tours while in Hurghada, but this was was from far the best!

Nos mwtieron en otra excursión diferente y se quedaron tan panchos..UNA ESTAFA

MARIATERESA_R, Apr 2025

Pues como nos pusieron en otra excursión que, por cierto, habiamos hecho el día anterior...no sabemos cómo hubiera podido ser...HA NOSOTROS, DESDE LUEGO, NOS HAN TIMADO Y EXIGIMOS LA DEVOLUCIÓN DEL IMPORTE PAGADO... Contramos una excursión similar seis meses antes, el día anterior por la tarde nos la cancelan por una "avería" en el barco (curiosamente seguía habiendo disponibilidad pero sólo para 2 personas, nosotros eramos cuatro), llamamos a Viator, nos atienden de manera muy amable (eso sí, 30 minutos de llamada a España con la consiguiente factura de roaming...), y nos cancelan esa excursión y nos ofrecen otra similar pero que costaba el doble de lo que habíamos pagado en la anterior, no nos hubiera importado si la hubieramos tenido...pero es que, encima, nos meten en otra excursión y se quedan tan panchos..., LA INFORMALIDAD DE ESTE PAIS ES SANGRANTE

Response from Host, Apr 2025

We are so sorry But you didn’t do this experience through our company. Wish you to book with us next time

Activité plongée que dauphins

Maryline_L, Mar 2025

Toute une journée pour voir les dauphins passer 20/30min max a coter pour les rechercher c’était plus activité plongée dans la journée que dauphins .

Journée essentiellement snorkeling que visite des dauphins

VITOR_T, Nov 2024

Une chasse au dauphins et non une visite, trop de bateau sur le spot qui essaye de se rendre en 1er ligne pour voir les dauphins on y est resté 15-20min sans forcément trop bien les voir. Le déjeuner était correct, le snorkeling bien mais déçu par le sujet principal de l’excursion qui consistait à pouvoir apercevoir les dauphins sans les chasser effrayer, il a fallu être réactif pour en voir passer certains enfant on pas réussi.

Alles in Allem eine gute Tagestour

Dominik_P, Mar 2024

Schöne Tour, wir haben sogar Define gesehen. Die Fahrt mit dem Bananaboot war sehr kurz - ca. 2 Minuten. Aber ansonsten sehr zu empfehlen.

Teleurstelling

Bart_G, Oct 2023

Als je een trip naar dolphine house wilt boeken moet je deze zeker niet nemen. Ze gaan daar ook niet naartoe. Een beetje in de buurt rond varen met wat geluk kom je een opgejaagde dolfijn tegen verder korte trip in de buurt. Rond 2-2.30 ben je dan ook terug aan de kant. De sofaboat ook niet gezien

Essen schmeckte gar...

Asiye_A, Dec 2022

Essen schmeckte gar nicht. Oben deck hat es keine abfaleimer. Obwohl dass ich deutsch gewünscht habe spricht niemand Deutsch.

Perfect day with Dolphins

Silvia_W, Jan 2022

Great day, we swam with min 10 Dolphins and saw fantastic fishes in riffs... fresh food and cool Crew 🥰 thx a lot! Ein wunderbares Erlebnis mit so vielen Delfinen zu schwimmen... 5 Euro Tax extra sind vorkommen okay und trotzdem sehr günstig!

Très bonne journée

Cherine_B, Jul 2021

Très bonne excursion, des guides au top. Malheureusement nous n’avons pas eu la chance de voir les dauphins ce jour là mais c’est les aléas de la nature. Bon déjeuner, un beau spot de plongée où nous avons pu voir la faune et la flore des coraux.

Une expérience magique

Myriam_M, Oct 2020

Journée vraiment splendide, un rêve devenu réalité Des gens formidable, à l écoute, qui vous entoure du début à la fin Nous avons eu la chance de voir plusieurs fois tout au long de la journée, des groupes de dauphins et nager plusieurs fois parmi eux avec un respect formidable. Merci à tous pour cette journée paradisiaque Je recommande vivement fortement sans hésiter. Attention le prix ne vous garantira en rien la qualité...nous avions fait une journée avec une autre agence, bien plus coûteuse, même ruinante et avons même pas eu le 1/3 de bonheur de cette journée. Un prix défaillant toute concurrence et pourtant bien plus valable que d autres! Merci
