Exclusive journey to dolphins
On a luxurious yacht
06 - 13 May 2023

8 days in Egypt with dolphins in their natural habitat. The trip is organized by Morethan.travel X Dolphinstrip teams.
Life abroad on a luxury yacht with experienced instructors.
Swimming skills required.
What is it all about?
Completely new experience that will change you and your usual view of yourself and the world around you. Our luxury yacht will anchor in a picturesque place near the reef, where families of dolphins live and where we will spend seven days with them. We will learn to dive, swim with dolphins (a lot), listen to lectures by a freediving instructor or marine biologist.

It will be a great company, bright sun and unlimited sea overboard!

Each morning will begin with a landing with the dolphins, and each evening will end with a swim in the sea after sunset, when it is impossible to see the horizon and distinguish the stars in the endless sky from the myriad luminous accumulations of plankton under the water. You will be saturated with the smell of the sea and will feel like its inhabitants - free, joyful and feeling your limitless potential.

If you love snorkeling and ever dreamed of “chatting with dolphins” after breakfast, then you should come to us. Special training is not required, and underwater swimming skills are not required. It is enough just to swim confidently in the open water and your impressions will be no less than those of experienced freedivers. After all, dolphins are known to be more willing to communicate with positive, open and curious people, and not just with those who have the best swimming skills.

There is no better reason to finally try freediving.
