Dolphin Show Tour from Makadi Bay whisks you to a world of flips, whistles and joyful sea-creatures — a half-day family outing that mixes entertainment, up-close animal encounters and easy travel logistics in one neat package.
Imagine a bright auditorium, a troupe of clever dolphins and playful sea lions performing with charm and precision while children gasp and adults grin — then the chance to get closer with optional photo or swim packages. That’s what this short, well-paced trip delivers, and why it’s one of the most popular Makadi Bay excursions for families and first-time visitors.
This excursion is ideal for families with young children, visitors who want a light, half-day activity, and travellers looking for a guaranteed ‘wow’ moment without a long transfer. It’s accessible, low-effort and offers a good balance of spectacle and comfort.
The show mixes carefully choreographed dolphin routines with sea-lion comedy and a few surprises — think interactive diver segments and trainers who narrate the behaviours you watch. Unlike open-sea wildlife trips, a dolphinarium performance is dependable: good visibility, predictable schedules, seats for everyone, and a solid chance for memorable photos.
Typical duration: ~2–3 hours door-to-door (show ~45–50 minutes).
Morning and afternoon departures are common (example: pickup 09:45 for a late-morning show; 14:00 pickup for an afternoon show).
Wheelchair accessible options are usually available — check at booking.
Typical price range: adults ~€18–€30, children discounted (operators vary).
Optional add-ons: swim-with-dolphins sessions, duo swims, professional photo packages (priced separately).
Booking tip: confirm currency, pick-up point and whether hotel transfers are included or surcharged for villas/apartments outside main resorts.
A comfortable minivan or luxury minibus collects you from Makadi Bay. The transfer to the dolphinarium is short, usually around 30–60 minutes depending on traffic — a practical half-day choice that won’t eat your whole holiday.
On arrival a friendly staff member directs you to the auditorium. Expect informative safety announcements and a short briefing if you’ve purchased a swim package. Seats are organised so everyone gets a good view of the pool and performers.
The show blends playful tricks, synchronized leaps and trainer interaction — fun for kids and surprisingly poetic for adults. After the performance, many operators offer optional extras: professional photo sessions or short swims in a supervised pool with dolphins. These extras are memorable but priced separately; decide beforehand if you want the souvenir photos or the swim package.
After the show and any extras, you reboard for the brief journey back to Makadi Bay, usually arriving in time for a late lunch or an afternoon on the beach.
Bring sunscreen and a hat — the transfer and waiting areas can be sunny.
Pre-book swim/photo packages online if you definitely want them — they can sell out.
Ask about camera rules: most venues allow your own photos, but some extras require staff photographers.
Keep cash or small change for tips and souvenirs.
If travelling with infants, confirm child pricing and seat policy ahead of booking.
If you’re booking animal interactions, choose operators that are transparent about welfare standards: humane training methods, limited swim group sizes, and proper veterinary care. Avoid venues that over-schedule animals or pressure spectators into interactions. A good operator will let you observe freely and will prioritise animal wellbeing.
The Dolphin Show Tour from Makadi Bay is a compact, feel-good outing that suits families, couples and anyone after a light, reliable animal experience during a Red Sea break. It’s practical, easy to book and full of smile-making moments — from the first dolphin leap to the post-show photos.
