Home to around 60-80 dolphins, this snorkeling tour of Satayh Dolphin Reef from Marsa Alam satisfies all lovers of these delightful, friendly mammals. With crystal-clear waters around the lagoon, the site is well suited for snorkeling, taking in the abundant corals and sea life along the way.
Early morning pick-up from the hotel in Marsa Alam leads to the Marina of Hamata, 165 km south of Marsa Alam Airport, to board the boat. After a welcome drink, the boat sets sail for Satayh “Dolphin Reef,” reaching the stop after approximately 2 hours of sailing, close to the famous Fury Shoals. Protected by a lagoon with crystal waters, a group of 60-80 dolphins gather here, offering the chance to swim alongside these amazing mammals, including a large school of Spinner Dolphins that consider the area home. Throughout the day, different species of fish and corals found only in the Red Sea can be discovered alongside the dolphins, with a delicious lunch prepared by the onboard chef, along with snacks and drinks. The boat sails back to port, arriving at Hamata Marina at approximately 4:30 pm, where transfer back to the hotel in Marsa Alam follows.
