Tour description: Dolphinarium + Swimming with Dolphins

The Sharm El Sheikh Dolphinarium is more than just a show. It is a chance to watch bottlenose dolphins and sea lions work alongside their trainers as genuine partners: high jumps, synchronised movements, object tricks. The animals clearly enjoy performing, and you can feel that.

After the show comes the experience people remember even more: swimming with the dolphins. In a small group you enter the pool, and the dolphins swim up to you. Touch them, look them in the eye from half a metre away, swim alongside - many adults describe this as the single most powerful moment of their entire holiday. Not just for children.

You will need swimwear if you are booking the dolphin swim. Personal photography inside is restricted - photos are sold on site. Sessions in the morning and evening.

For group tours a white Toyota minibus picks you up - round-trip hotel transfer is included in the price.

⚠️ Important: Show from $20 (adult) / $15 (children 3-8). Dolphin swimming: 15 min - $70 (swim only) / $85 (swim + show); 30 min (morning, 10:00) - $90 / $105. Solo participant: +$5 supplement. Companion without swimming: $10. Unheated pool. Groups of 5-10 people.
🎒 What to bring: Swimwear, a towel, and a sense of excitement.

Tourist reviews: Dolphinarium + Swimming with Dolphins

A
Anna ColeDolphinarium + swim

Honestly, I wasn't sure at first - I thought it would feel a bit staged and touristy. But I was completely wrong. The show itself is good, but the real highlight is the contact with the dolphins. When you get into the water and they swim up to you, touch you, and look you right in the eye from half a metre away - it's an incredibly powerful feeling. The only thing is it goes by quickly and you'd love a bit more time, but even so the impressions stay with you. Perfect for children, but absolutely worth it for adults too. I would go again.

Irene WalshDolphinarium + swim

We came for the kids but ended up enjoying it just as much ourselves. Great atmosphere, not overcrowded, everything well organised. The dolphins are active and genuinely interactive - not just swimming around. I was a bit nervous about getting into the water but the instructor was great, explained everything calmly, and it all felt very comfortable. The only thing is the photos are on the expensive side, but that's a minor point. Overall the emotions were so warm - definitely one of those cases where reality exceeded expectations.

Sandra WhiteWith children · show + swim

The kids were absolutely delighted - that says it all. The show is spectacular, the dolphins are so intelligent and charming. We booked the dolphin swimming separately and our 9-year-old daughter talked about nothing else for the rest of the evening. Everything felt safe, instructors always close by. The only thing is the swimming queue can be long - better to book ahead. One of the best evenings of the whole holiday.

Ivan ShawGroup · evening session

I booked the evening session - a good call, fewer people than the morning. The show is professional, the dolphins are clearly well trained and in good health. The hoop-jumping act was particularly impressive - the height is genuinely striking. After the show you can get photos taken with the animals. Well organised, hotel transfer was convenient. Really enjoyed it.

More about this tour

The Sharm El Sheikh Dolphinarium is one of the resort's most memorable family experiences. The professional show with dolphins and sea lions lasts about an hour: jumps, tricks, and an endearing interaction between animals and trainers. The dolphins clearly enjoy performing - you can see it in their playfulness and energy.

After the show comes the most prized option: swimming with the dolphins. You enter the pool as part of a small group and the dolphins swim up to you. You can touch them, swim alongside them, look them in the eye from half a metre away. This is a transformative experience that is difficult to put into words. Many adults say it was the most powerful moment of their entire holiday - not just for the children, but for them too.
