Overview

Samadai Reef is locally known as "the Dolphin House" — a horseshoe-shaped reef twelve nautical miles offshore, where spinner dolphins rest in a protected lagoon during the morning hours. The reef is one of the few places in the Red Sea where the dolphin protocol is regulated by a marine reserve: limited boats, scheduled access, no diving in the dolphin zone. The reef walls outside the lagoon are themselves exceptional — drop-offs, healthy coral, abundant reef fish. This is the private charter version. The boat is yours and your party's for the day. The schedule is precise but flexible: two snorkeling stops within the regulations, lunch on board, and the option to add a dive from the boat for certified divers. Access timing to the dolphin zone is controlled by the marine reserve; we coordinate departure accordingly.
