Snorkeling and dolphin tours In El Gouna Egypt

One popular experience here includes snorkeling with dolphins – although sightings cannot always be guaranteed; with some luck you might even have the opportunity to snorkel alongside or swim alongside one.
Once on location ourselves, we were truly blessed: A large pod of over 20 dolphins came within feet of our small group, swimming curiously towards us before diving beneath us before moving away again – incredible memories impossible to describe but even just the regular snorkel stops at colorful coral reefs made this adventure well-worth our while; suitable even for beginners.
