Full Description

Depart from Abidos  Marina in El Gouna

Your Red Sea adventure starts at Abidos  Marina in El Gouna, where you board the Ocean Diva catamaran. With shaded seating and sunbathing nets positioned over the water, the boat offers space to relax between the day's activities.

You can choose from three departure times: 9:00 AM, 11:00 AM, or 2:30 PM. This gives you flexibility to select a morning or afternoon sailing that fits your plans in El Gouna or Hurghada.

Search for Dolphins Near Dolphin House

The Ocean Diva sails toward the Dolphin House area near Sha'ab El Erg, a Red Sea location where the crew searches for wild dolphins in their natural environment.

Dolphin sightings depend on the animals' behavior and location on the day of your trip, so encounters cannot be guaranteed. If dolphins are present, you can observe them from the boat as they move through the surrounding waters, with the crew helping you watch from an appropriate distance.

Two Guided Snorkeling Stops

The trip includes two guided snorkeling sessions at Red Sea reef locations. Snorkeling equipment is provided, allowing you to enter the water and explore coral formations and tropical marine life during the stops.

The second snorkeling location is selected according to the weather conditions on the day. A professional guide and safety boat provide support during the snorkeling activities while you explore the underwater environment.

Lunch and Drinks Served Onboard

After spending time in the water, enjoy lunch served directly on the Ocean Diva. The supplied menu includes sandwich and wrap options, soups, salads, soft drinks, hot drinks, and cold beverages.

Food choices include options such as roast beef, tuna, cheese, and chicken wraps, together with several soup and salad selections. Alcoholic cocktails are available separately for purchase.

Relax on the Catamaran

The experience is not only about snorkeling and dolphin watching. Between activities, you can enjoy the journey across the Red Sea from the catamaran's shaded seating areas or stretch out on the sunbathing nets above the water.

For the trip, bring swimwear, sunscreen, a sun hat, sunglasses, a towel, and cash. Light clothing is suitable during summer, while warmer layers may be useful during winter.
