The Red Sea, Egypt
and the Sataya sanctuary

Sataya Reef, nicknamed the 'Dolphin House', is one of the last sanctuaries in the world where a colony of spinner dolphins lives freely year-round.

Sataya Reef

The 'Dolphin House': one of the rare sanctuaries in the world where dolphins reside year-round.

Red Sea

Crystal-clear waters at 26-30°C, exceptional visibility, unique marine biodiversity.

Southern Egypt

Preserved region, far from mass tourism. Authenticity and tranquility guaranteed.

Wild dolphins

Colony of spinner dolphins (Stenella longirostris) living freely in the lagoon.

Welcome to southern Egypt, far from classic tourist circuits. Here, the Red Sea reveals its most beautiful treasures: intact coral reefs, sea turtles, and that special light that transforms every moment into a memory.

Our cruise takes you to the heart of Fury Shoals, a string of preserved islets and lagoons. The highlight? Three full days at Sataya Reef, where you swim with wild dolphins.

This is not a show. It's an encounter. The dolphins come to you out of curiosity, with respect for their space. An experience that marks a lifetime.
