‘Dolphinswims’, formerly ‘Wild and Free’ has been operating in The Red Sea, Egypt for the last 13 years. Now under new management, we use the same eco-village resort and guides who previously hosted Wild and Free clients.

It is a great privilege to continue the dolphin swims in Egypt, continuing the work of the late Ruth Corner who, with Khaled Saed, as a husband-wife team hosted many holidays swimming with the wild dolphins of the Red Sea.

Ruth’s memory lives on in the continuation of this business in which her passion for wild dolphins, marine conservation and dedicated service to the guests will be continued with a renewed commitment from us in this very special location. We are very excited to be able to introduce you to our programs at the resort link and our very special group boat safaris link. Which will be hosted by our team.

We think the dolphins, the conditions and the wonderful climate are the perfect place for dolphin swim experiences, we invite you to join us!
