DolphinLagoon Sataya Adventure Trip – Swimming with Dolphins in the Red Sea with Timo Tours
The DolphinLagoon Sataya adventure trip from Timo Tours takes you to one of the most famous dolphin habitats in the Red Sea. The Sataya Reef, also known as "Dolphin House," is a protected natural area south of Marsa Alam and offers you the rare opportunity to observe dolphins in their natural environment and snorkel with them.
Trip to the Sataya Dolphin Reef
The tour begins early in the morning with departure from Hamata Port. After boarding, you'll sail for approximately two and a half hours across the open sea towards Sataya Reef. During the journey, you can enjoy the tranquility of the ocean and prepare yourself for the upcoming natural wonder.
Once you reach the reef, a smaller speedboat will take you directly into the lagoon, where large groups of dolphins often congregate. Here your first snorkeling experience begins, lasting approximately 30 to 40 minutes. With a bit of luck, the dolphins will swim very close to you as you float in the clear water.
Snorkeling with dolphins and coral reefs
After the first snorkeling session, you will return to the main boat. A freshly prepared lunch, already included in the excursion, will be served on board.
This is followed by a second snorkeling session. This time you'll discover the region's colorful coral reefs with their tropical fish species and impressive underwater landscapes. This section also lasts about 30 to 40 minutes and offers further fascinating insights into the marine world of the Red Sea.
