About Dolphin House
Dolphin House is Samadai Reef's protected crescent-shaped offshore lagoon near Marsa Alam. The site combines a dolphin resting area with outer-reef pinnacles, a cave system, and shallow sandy routes that are usually straightforward for relaxed boat dives. Access is managed and timed, with guided snorkeling and diving kept to the outer areas so the lagoon stays quiet.
