A Luxury Escape: Why Choose a Private Dolphin House from Makadi Bay

Dolphin House—an area in the Red Sea famed for its high chance of wild dolphin encounters—is a sanctuary of marine life. But experiencing it privately transforms the entire adventure.

Unlike group tours, a private boat ensures:

• Freedom and flexibility — set your own rhythm, decide when to snorkel or relax.

• Personalized service — your captain, crew, and guide cater only to your group.

• Intimacy — enjoy the Red Sea’s tranquility without noise or crowds.

It’s the ideal choice for couples, families, or friends who want to celebrate a special day surrounded by natural beauty, away from the bustle of resort life.

The Journey Begins – From Makadi Bay to the Open Sea

Morning Pickup and Smooth Boarding

Your day starts around 8:00 a.m., when a private vehicle collects you from your hotel in Makadi Bay. Upon arrival at the marina, your private crew welcomes you on board a comfortable, fully equipped boat.

Cold drinks are served as the anchor lifts and the adventure begins. The Red Sea stretches endlessly ahead, calm and glistening.

The crew will brief you on the route, safety measures, and snorkeling techniques before heading toward one of the region’s most famous marine zones—the Dolphin House Reef.

Cruising Toward Dolphin House Reef

As the boat sails across the open waters, small islands appear in the distance. The sea shifts in color—from deep sapphire to brilliant turquoise—offering views that photographers dream of capturing.

Along the way, you might spot flying fish darting across the waves or sea birds circling overhead. The atmosphere is serene, punctuated only by laughter and the gentle hum of the engine.

After about an hour and a half, your captain drops anchor near the reef. This is where the magic begins.

Swimming and Snorkeling with Dolphins

Witnessing Dolphins in Their Natural Habitat

Here, the Red Sea becomes alive with movement. Wild dolphins, often in pods of 5–20, are known to frequent these warm waters. Seeing them glide effortlessly beside your boat is a moment of awe that words can barely describe.

If the conditions are favorable, you’ll enter the water under the supervision of your snorkeling guide. The feeling of floating near these intelligent creatures—free, graceful, and curious—is both humbling and exhilarating.

Each encounter is spontaneous and natural. There are no enclosures or performances—just you, the sea, and the dolphins.

Exploring the Coral Gardens Beneath the Surface

Once the dolphins swim away, the adventure continues beneath the surface. The reefs here are among the Red Sea’s most stunning, home to thousands of species of fish and coral.

You’ll drift over colorful gardens of hard and soft coral, teeming with angelfish, butterflyfish, and parrotfish. If you’re lucky, a sea turtle might glide by, unbothered by your presence.

Even if you’re new to snorkeling, your guide ensures a safe and relaxing experience, adjusting the route and depth to your comfort level.

The Private Touch – Lunch, Leisure, and Fishing

Fresh Seafood Buffet at Sea

By midday, the aroma of grilled fish fills the air. Your crew serves a freshly prepared seafood buffet, featuring local catches, rice, salads, and tropical fruits. Enjoy your meal on the shaded deck, surrounded by panoramic sea views—a dining experience no restaurant can match.

After lunch, relax on deck cushions, sunbathe, or simply let the soft rhythm of the waves lull you into a state of pure calm.

Optional Activities: Fishing or Diving

Because it’s your private charter, the day unfolds exactly as you wish.
Want to cast a fishing line into the Red Sea? The crew provides the gear. Prefer to try a short introductory dive? A certified instructor can guide you safely.

The flexibility is yours—every moment designed for your comfort and curiosity.
