Arrive and settle in

Enter through the main gate and have your ticket checked at reception. Inside, follow the signs to the open-air amphitheatre and choose a seat in the tiered viewing area. Arriving about 30 minutes early gives you more seating options and time to get settled before the show begins.

Enjoy the lively show

Watch a 60‑minute performance where trained dolphins, sea lions, and a walrus take center stage. The dolphins leap through hoops, perform flips, and even “paint” on canvas—all choreographed to lively music and friendly commentary for an engaging family experience.

See the animals’ signature tricks

Dolphins perform high jumps, spins, and synchronized routines, while sea lions add comedic moments with trainer-led acts. A highlight for many visitors is the walrus appearance, which usually includes short, entertaining tricks and interactions with the trainers.

Join optional dolphin interactions

After the show, guests who booked add-on experiences can take part in short dolphin interactions. Options usually include photo sessions at the poolside or brief supervised swim experiences with a trainer present.

Finish your visit

Before leaving, you can browse the on-site gift shop or purchase photos from your interaction session. Many visitors return to their hotels using pre-arranged shared transfers included with their ticket package.

Things to know before booking your Dolphin World Hurghada tickets

Ticket inclusions & experience types

  • The standard tickets include entry to the live dolphin, sea lion, and walrus show with round-trip hotel transfers, ideal if you only want to watch the performance.
  • If you'd like like to swim with a dolphin (who wouldn't?!) you can opt for the dolphin swim session which adds a supervised in-water interaction after the show.
  • Want to have a photo session with a dolphin? The meet-the-dolphin experience includes a guided photo session without swimming—great for non-swimmers or young children.
  • If you have trouble choosing and want it all, the ultimate experience combines show access, swim time, and photos in one booking.

Swimming vs. private upgrades

  • The private swim adventure offers one-on-one swim time but does not include show seating.
  • The private photo experience gives you exclusive photo time with a dolphin. This ticket doesn't include the show.
  • Private options are more personal but limited in capacity. Book early during peak months.

Availability & booking strategy:

  • Swim and private sessions sell out faster than show-only tickets.
  • If interacting with dolphins is your priority, secure your preferred time slot in advance rather than relying on on-site upgrades.

Transfers & logistics:

  • Most tickets include shared round-trip transfers within Hurghada. Always check your selected ticket for confirmation.
  • Interaction sessions are short and time-slotted, so arrival timing matters when choosing between show-only and experience-based tickets.

Visitor tips

  • Book swim slots early if you want in-water interaction. The Dolphin Swim Experience has limited daily capacity and typically runs after the 10:30am show — last-minute availability is not guaranteed.
  • Choose central seating for better views. The amphitheatre is tiered, but middle rows offer the clearest angles for dolphin jumps and trainer interactions (see Timings for arrival window).
  • Plan swim or photo sessions the same day as your show. Scheduling them post-show avoids extra travel and makes transfers more efficient.
  • Budget time for photo selection. If purchasing professional photos, allow extra time after your session to review and select images.
  • Stay back after the show if you want clearer photos. Many guests exit immediately, giving you cleaner shots of the stage area without crowd obstruction.
