Sea Soul Retreat

Pickup at the airport (Hurghada or Marsa Alam) by our bus driver, who will be holding a sign with the Sea Soul logo. We then set off for the port of Hamata in an air-conditioned minibus or coach, depending on the group size (a 6-hour drive from Hurghada, 3 hours from Marsa Alam airport).

Depending on your arrival time aboard, a snack or a buffet meal will be served. You will settle into your assigned cabin and make yourself at home on the boat, then spend your first night aboard.

The maritime authorities will come aboard to check passengers and issue the final sailing permit. Once this formality is complete, the boat sets sail, in principle after breakfast, for a 2-hour crossing to Sataya Bay.

As soon as we reach Sataya Bay, we will give you a briefing on safety procedures both aboard and in the water. You will be asked to complete and sign the liability waivers and the medical questionnaire, and we will share our knowledge of the world of dolphins.

Once the briefing is over, our guide will organise a water entry from the boat to assess everyone's level and adjust each person's equipment if needed. If everyone is comfortable, you can head out on the zodiacs to meet the dolphins if they are already there, or go snorkeling along a reef.

The boat stays anchored in Sataya Bay and the days follow the dolphins' own rhythm, but broadly look like this:

Two options are possible, depending in particular on the weather conditions and your flight schedules.
