Your day begins early with hotel pickup in Marsa Alam, El Quseir, or Port Ghalib in an air‑conditioned vehicle. You’ll be transferred south toward Hamata Marina, situated roughly 100+ km from Marsa Alam — a scenic desert and coastal road drive.

At Hamata Marina, you’ll board your well‑equipped boat. After a safety briefing and distribution of snorkeling gear, the boat sets sail toward Sataya Reef, a journey of about 2–2.5 hours across the Red Sea. Use this time to relax, enjoy the sea breeze, and soak in the views.

Upon arrival at the famous Dolphin Reef lagoon, trained guides will lead you in groups on a snorkeling session where you can swim alongside pods of spinner dolphins. These intelligent and playful animals often engage with snorkelers in the calm waters of the lagoon — a highlight of the trip.

After your dolphin swim, return to the boat for a delicious buffet lunch with drinks and seasonal fruit. Enjoy this break while anchored in the scenic marine reserve.

After lunch, you’ll have another snorkeling stop at a beautiful coral garden spot within the Sataya area. Snorkel guides will show you vibrant reef formations, schools of tropical fish, and possibly sea turtles and rays.

Following your snorkeling adventures, the boat sails back to Hamata Marina. From there, your transfer vehicle will bring you back to your hotel in Marsa Alam, typically arriving in the late afternoon or early evening after a full day of adventure.
