Samadai Reef – Dolphin House Marsa Alam | Swimming with Wild Dolphins
Samadai Reef is a place where encounters with wild dolphins are truly special. You hear only your own breath as a wild dolphin calmly swims by in the natural lagoon – independent, unguided and untrained.
This is not an ordinary Dolphin House – it is a moment of real closeness to nature, in an intimate atmosphere, with a limited number of boats and full comfort at sea.

Reviews
Professional service and great contact on WhatsApp. Everything as described.
Samadai is calmer than other Dolphin Houses, we felt safe all day.
Top-notch organisation, punctual transfer, a clean boat and tasty lunch. Recommend to everyone.
I appreciate the honest approach without promising guarantees, and the dolphins appeared several times.
Wonderful dolphins and very close, everything calm without chaos. The best trip during our stay.
