A Place Of Exploration & Discovery

Imagine a place where you can connect with nature, be free from the internet and away from everyday stress. A place for discovery and connection!
There is an underwater lagoon in the Red Sea where the dolphins come in at sunrise and leave at sunset. Here you will be swimming with dolphins in this magical portal and forget about the outside world. This place is very special and once you come here once, we are sure you will want to return!

Life On A Beautiful Yacht
1 Week On A Boat
Where will you sleep?
Where will you sleep?
The most beautiful thing about being together on a boat is the community feeling; making friends for life and having meaningful, thought provoking conversations. You and your children connect with other families, learning from one another and becoming closer through the multiple memories that you will create. If you are someone who needs some alone time, don't worry - there is always space to get away from the group to reflect or relax.

8 Day Program
Your Arrival in Egypt
You will be picked up from your hotel or airport and together we drive through the coastal and desert landscapes to Hamata Port, where our boat will be waiting for us. You will check in on the boat in the late afternoon, settle in, have dinner and meet your new friends. We can help with your airport transfers, visa questions, flight and hotel recommendations.
Daily Swimming With Dolphins
Yes, they really are wild and they choose to interact and connect with us out of their own free will. We will have daily morning, midday and afternoon dolphin time. When we are out in the open Red Sea, we experience a glimpse of their freedom, what it's like to be a free dolphin and can begin to imagine what our life could be like if only we allowed ourselves the same freedom back on land. We watch how they take care of one another, observe their tight family pods and how they love to play, inspiring us to take life less seriously and to make each moment count.
Yoga, Meditation & Pranayama with Maja
Maja will hold daily yoga classes for the adults and one introductionary yoga class for the teenagers. Each night after dinner, everyone is invited to a guided meditation class where you and your teens will practice focusing on the present moment and being able to reflect on your thoughts and emotions of the day. You and your family will walk away with a set of tools that will help in stressful and overwhelming situations, and guide you towards conscious decision making.
Coral Reef Exploration
The waters of the Red Sea are home to over 300 species of coral and 2,100 species of fish, 10% of which are found nowhere else in the world. With the salinity being higher than most other seas, it makes for relaxed and easy floating. When the Spinner dolphins come into the reef area we are ready to meet them with ease. Even for those who are young, have little or no experience snorkeling, or just not too sure about the water…yet. Yep! We’ve seen it happen time and again. Our guides are skilled that way, with patience and a keen sense of how to get to the other side of apprehension. It’s because of their knowledge, intuition, and kindness that we can connect with the dolphins up close and frequently during our week together. Combine this with the breathing techniques taught on board and the whole family can find their own speed ahead.
Egyptian History & Culture
The Egyptian culture is the only culture to have its own formal category of study, Egyptology! From pyramids and temples to elaborate burial rituals and hieroglyphics, there is a richness and majesty to this culture that never seems to end! Weather you join us at the weeks end for some land-based sight seeing, or make your own travel destination plans, you will get an introduction to the history of this amazing county. We will also share some of our tested travel tips and some of our favorite places. Need help deciding what to add to your list? We can’t wait to share what we know!
Family Bonding
It’s nice to shake up the dynamics a bit! Sometimes we find ourselves going at life automatically, a series of routine-driven, repeating days. We aim to hit that sweet spot between time apart and time together, as much as we can while living our best boat life!
With a lot of thought to the scheduling; we will gather as teens, parents, mothers and daughters, and fathers and sons. We will spend time off the boat on excursions, as well as time on the boat, but different decks, with the intention of making that time special and unique, filling every family member up with something to share when you all gather next.
Water Activities
The Red Sea is the perfect place to advance and add to your skills in the water. With the water temperature being around 98 F (37 C) and visibility ranging from 20-40 meters, it allows us to spend a lot of quality time in the water. This is perfect for families of all levels of water experience. Weather you are an experienced diver; curious about SCUBA certification, learning freediving skills, or have no experience at all, we can meet your family where you are at!
