Trip Description
Sataya Reef Luxury Overnight Safari
Swimming with Spinner Dolphins – Marsa Alam
Sataya Reef, located in the southern Red Sea near Marsa Alam, is one of the world’s most extraordinary marine sanctuaries. Internationally known as Dolphin House, this iconic reef is famous for hosting large pods of wild spinner dolphins that live, rest, and socialize freely in their natural environment.
The reef is defined by its massive crescent-shaped coral formation, which surrounds a wide, calm natural lagoon. This unique geography creates shallow, warm, and crystal-clear waters, naturally protected from waves and strong currents—ideal conditions for extended snorkeling and immersive marine exploration.
This exclusive luxury overnight safari departs from Hurghada aboard a premium safari yacht, allowing guests to experience Sataya Reef at the most magical times of day. With more time on site and fewer visitors, dolphin encounters remain peaceful, ethical, and entirely on nature’s terms.
Beyond dolphin encounters, Sataya Reef reveals vibrant coral gardens, large schools of tropical fish, and exceptional underwater visibility within a pristine and untouched ecosystem. The journey is enriched by expert-led marine briefings, safety orientations, and professional supervision, ensuring a secure and educational experience throughout.
Onboard, enjoy modern hotel-style cabins, freshly prepared gourmet meals, and attentive service in a refined, relaxed atmosphere. As evening falls, unwind beneath the stars with authentic Egyptian dance performances, creating a truly memorable Red Sea ambiance.
This is more than an excursion—it is a luxury marine escape, where nature, knowledge, comfort, and culture unite in one unforgettable overnight adventure.
