Swimming with wild dolphins
Experience your dream holiday in the Red Sea, Egypt
Swimming with dolphins in their natural environment is a truly unforgettable experience. With Dolphin Swims, you will interact with these playful and curious mammals in a safe, responsible and ecologically sensitive way. To participate you need to be of an average level of fitness to swim and to get on and off boats into the water. Life jackets are provided.
We offer two kinds of dolphin swimming holidays from our beautiful eco-village resort on Egypt’s stunning Red Sea:
Our Eco-Village Resort holiday includes 7 nights accommodation, all meals, 3 day boat trips to the marine park reserve to swim with the wild dolphins and unlimited reef snorkelling. As an optional extra, you can include an overnight stay on our cruise boat and swim with dolphins on a more remote reef. The Eco-Village Resort holiday is available throughout the whole year – and is completely flexible to your timings.
If you want to spend even more time on the water, we also run a Onboard Adventure Dolphin Safari at fixed times during the year, usually November. As well as staying at our eco-village resort, you will also spend 3 days and 3 nights living, eating and sleeping on board our boat as part of a group – travelling beyond the marine reserve and into the open waters of the Red Sea, where there are many opportunities to encounter dolphins and other marine life. We visit protected calm reefs where the dolphins spend the daytime after hunting at night in the open sea. You can also experience living on the boat for our Overnight Dolphin safari This is the same as the Onboard adventure, but shorter, lasts 24 hours and can be part of a 7 night resort holiday and can be taken any time of the year.
We are passionate about responsible tourism and preserving this beautiful area of the Red Sea. We follow strict guidelines so as not to negatively impact the dolphins’ natural behaviour and habitat, and only work with experienced local guides. Our eco-resort is far away from the mass tourist sites in Egypt and we are committed to developing sustainable tourism in the area.
