Dolphin House – scenic reef, dolphin encounters, but noisy boats disturb them. Coral unimpressive for snorkeling.
Dolphin House - Shaab Samadai的点评
点评:I traveled to Dolphin House from the dock in Marsa Alam. There is no pier, so boarding the boat was done from a dinghy. The journey takes about an hour, leading to a semicircular reef.
Upon arrival, after the boat anchored, speedboats took us to the area where the most dolphins were at that moment. During snorkeling, wearing a life vest is mandatory for everyone—no exceptions. While swimming, you must stay between the buoys. When the dolphins swam further away, the crew quickly helped us into the boat and moved us to another spot.
We did see dolphins, even a larger pod, but I must admit that the constant noise of passing boats disturbs them. When you encounter them, they usually swim away quickly because another group of people arrives on a boat.
The coral at Dolphin House didn’t impress me much—it was colorful, but there were only a few fish to see. Snorkeling also required a life vest, so perhaps deeper areas are more interesting, and divers might enjoy it more.
翻译:我从马萨阿拉姆的码头前往海豚馆。这里没有码头,所以只能乘坐小艇登船。行程大约需要一个小时,会经过一个半圆形的珊瑚礁。
抵达后,船抛锚后,快艇将我们带到了当时海豚最多的区域。浮潜时,每个人都必须穿着救生衣,没有例外。游泳时,必须待在浮标之间。当海豚游远后,船员们迅速帮我们上船,并把我们转移到另一个地点。
我们确实看到了海豚,甚至还有一群更大的海豚,但我必须承认,来往船只的持续噪音会打扰它们。即使偶遇,它们通常也会很快游走,因为另一群人乘船而来。
海豚馆的珊瑚并没有给我留下太深刻的印象——色彩缤纷,但鱼的数量却寥寥无几。浮潜也需要救生衣,所以也许更深的区域更有趣,潜水者可能会更享受。
