About this tour
This 4-hour Red Sea speedboat trip takes you to two islands off Hurghada—Orange Bay and Abo Minqar sandbank—with stops for snorkeling and dolphin encounters. You'll cruise turquoise waters, explore coral reefs teeming with fish, and potentially swim with dolphins in open water. The boat provides shaded seating, snorkeling gear, and refreshments. Hotel pickups are included from central Hurghada, though some outlying resorts charge extra.

What to expect
You'll be picked up from your Hurghada hotel and transferred to the marina. Once aboard the speedboat, expect a bracing ride across open water to Orange Bay, where you can swim and relax on white sand. The boat then heads to Abo Minqar sandbank for snorkeling—gear is provided. Your guide will search for dolphins in deeper waters; if spotted and conditions permit, you'll enter the water to observe them. Snorkeling takes place at established reef sites with decent visibility and coral diversity. The entire experience balances active snorkeling with quieter island time. Note that dolphin sightings aren't guaranteed, as marine encounters depend on animal behavior and boat traffic.
Good to know
Bring sunscreen and a hat—shade on the boat is limited. Children under five sit on an adult's lap; specialized infant seats are available upon request. Dolphin encounters depend on wildlife presence and sea conditions; some tours don't yield sightings. Additional transfer fees apply if staying in Makadi, Sahl Hasheesh, El Gouna, Safaga, or Soma Bay.
