Swimming with dolphins in Hurghada

What's Included

• Hotel transfer at approximately 14:00 (to the dolphinarium and back).

Program options

5 minutes — a short format for a first introduction. It suits those who want to try swimming with dolphins, get an emotional experience, and not overwhelm a child.

10 minutes — a fuller option: more time in the water, a calmer interaction with the dolphin, and more lasting impressions.

If you're traveling with a child, let us know their age and swimming experience in advance. We'll suggest the best option in terms of pace and comfort.

• couples and groups of friends;

Important to know before booking

The swim is by advance booking only: the number of spots and convenient times depend on the dolphinarium's schedule. It's best to book in advance, especially if you need a specific date or several participants in a row.

If a participant has health restrictions, a strong fear of water, pregnancy, injuries, or other conditions, please let us know before booking. On-site trainers may restrict participation if they consider the program unsafe.

We do not promise any medical benefit from swimming with dolphins. This is an entertainment program and an emotional experience, not a medical treatment.

Swimming or the regular dolphinarium show

If you just want to watch a show with your kids, you can choose Dolphinarium in Hurghada: this is a show with dolphins and sea lions, with no entry into the water.

If your main goal is personal contact with dolphins, it's better to book the dolphin swim. These programs differ in format, price, and timing, so when you send your request, specify right away that you want the swim, not just the show.
