Are you ready to visit the Sataya Dolphin House from Marsa Alam?
The Sataya Dolphin House is absolutely stunning. You will have the chance to swim with spinner dolphins in their natural habitat. Swimming with dolphins for hours and playing with large groups of them will change your mood, soul, and mindset. The spinner dolphins at the Sataya Dolphin House always enjoy interacting with people. We can’t forget about the coral reefs, which are truly unique. The Sataya region covers a large area and is surrounded by coral reefs on three sides. The coral reefs here are vividly colorful, and hundreds of fish can be seen nearby.
The Sataya Dolphin House Reef is the best place for snorkeling in the Red Sea. The journey south takes two hours by boat to the Sataya National Park, which is most famously known as the dolphin home. You can see many different types of dolphins, with the most well-known being the active and dynamic spinner dolphins. The Sataya region is large and surrounded by coral reefs on three sides.
During the trip, there are two snorkeling spots. We start with a short briefing where your guide will inform you about marine life and safety instructions. Then, we head to the first spot to swim with the dolphins. They are interactive and curious, playing and dancing around.
Afterward, enjoy a freshly prepared delicious lunch on board, and then proceed to the second snorkeling spot around the coral reef.
