Visitor Experiences

"Absolutely incredible! We swam with at least 20 dolphins - they were circling around us, playing, and even doing spins. The boat was comfortable, lunch was delicious, and the guides were fantastic at making sure everyone had a safe, ethical encounter. Worth every euro!"

"Best experience of our Egypt vacation! The dolphin encounter was magical - they came so close we could almost touch them (but didn't, of course!). The coral reef snorkeling was equally amazing. Professional crew, safe boat, great food. Highly recommend the premium option!"

Common Questions

Is it guaranteed to see dolphins?
While we cannot 100% guarantee wild animal encounters, Sataya Reef has a 98% dolphin sighting rate year-round. Our experienced captains know exactly where the dolphins typically rest and feed. If no dolphins are sighted on a trip (very rare), we offer a 50% discount on your next booking.
Do I need to be an expert swimmer?
Not at all! Basic swimming ability is sufficient. We provide life jackets for all participants, and our guides stay with you in the water at all times. The boat has easy entry/exit platforms, and you can stay as close to the boat as you feel comfortable. Non-swimmers can enjoy watching dolphins from the boat deck.
What's included in the price?
All our Sataya packages include: hotel pickup and dropoff from any Marsa Alam hotel, round-trip boat cruise to Sataya Reef, 2 guided snorkeling sessions with dolphins, full lunch onboard (freshly prepared), unlimited soft drinks and water, complete snorkeling equipment (mask, snorkel, fins, life jacket), and professional English-speaking guides.
Can children join the dolphin trip?
Yes! Children from 4 years old are welcome. Kids 4-10 get a 50% discount on the standard trip. Life jackets are available in all sizes, and our guides are experienced with families. Children who don't want to snorkel can watch dolphins from the boat - the deck offers excellent viewing.
