Common Questions

Is it guaranteed to see dolphins?
Sataya Reef has a 95% dolphin sighting success rate due to the resident pod of spinner dolphins. However, as they are wild animals, we cannot guarantee sightings on every single trip. If no dolphins are seen, we offer a 50% discount on your next booking.
Can children swim with dolphins?
Yes! Children aged 6+ can swim with dolphins under parental supervision. Life jackets are mandatory and provided for all ages. The boat crew includes professional guides who ensure safety protocols and help children feel comfortable.
Do I need a police permit for Sataya?
No! Unlike trips to Luxor or Aswan, Sataya Dolphin House is within the Marsa Alam zone and requires no police escort permit. This saves you €20 and makes booking much simpler and more flexible.
What should I bring?
Bring sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, towel, and a change of clothes. We provide all snorkeling equipment (mask, fins, snorkel, life jacket). Waterproof cameras are welcome, or book our VIP package for professional underwater photography.
