Program details

Samadai reef, more commonly known as “Dolphin House", is the home to a large family of around sixty spinner dolphins. The boat leaves Marsa Alam marina it takes about 80 minutes to reach the Dolphin House reef. There you have a very good chance of being able to swim and snorkel with wild spinner dolphins - a moment of a lifetime which will be infinitely more memorable than an arranged photo call with a captive dolphin at a sea aquarium.

And even if you are very unlucky and a dolphin doesn't swim near you, the reef and its' sheltered shallow lagoon offer a fantastic range of marine life and sites including turtles, rays, clownfish, underwater reef pinnacles and an awesome swim.
