About This Activity

Discover the breathtaking beauty of the Red Sea on a full-day snorkeling trip to Sataya Reef, also known as Dolphin House, one of the most magical snorkeling spots near Marsa Alam. Known for its large population of wild dolphins, Sataya offers you a rare chance to swim and interact with these fascinating creatures in their natural habitat.

Your day begins with a convenient hotel pickup in Marsa Alam, followed by a transfer to the marina where your boat adventure starts. As you cruise through the crystal-clear waters, enjoy the stunning sea views and the peaceful atmosphere of the Red Sea.

Upon arrival at Sataya Reef, the adventure truly begins. This protected lagoon is famous for its frequent dolphin sightings, and you’ll have the unique opportunity to snorkel alongside spinner dolphins, who are known for their friendly and playful behavior. With the help of your experienced snorkeling guide, you’ll also explore the vibrant coral gardens, colorful fish, and other rich marine life that make this reef so special.

During the day, you'll stop at two or more snorkeling sites depending on the conditions, giving you plenty of time to explore and relax in the water. Back on board, enjoy a freshly prepared lunch, along with refreshing drinks throughout the journey.

The boat is equipped with comfortable shaded areas, sunbathing spots, and all the necessary snorkeling equipment including masks, snorkels, and life jackets. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced snorkeler, this trip is suitable for all levels and promises an unforgettable experience.

After a magical day at sea, the boat returns to the marina in the afternoon. You will then be transferred back to your hotel with memories that will last a lifetime.

This experience was truly remarkable. Swimming with dolphins was an incredibly moving moment for me. The staff were extremely friendly and organized everything flawlessly. The small buffet provided was also very enjoyable. The only drawback, which no one can change, is the distance. My hotel was in Port Ghalib, so it took about 2.5 hours to reach the departure point and then another 2 hours by boat to get to Sataya Reef. Of course, the return trip is the same. I admit it was tiring, but the chance to swim with the dolphins made the long journey completely worthwhile. I would definitely recommend this experience!
