Overview

This private speedboat tour in Hurghada is the ideal mix of excitement, relaxation, and natural discovery. It combines dolphin watching, a visit to the scenic Abu Minqar Island, and snorkeling adventures in the most beautiful coral reefs of the Red Sea.

After pick-up from your hotel, you will be transferred to the marina, where your modern speedboat, experienced skipper, and guide are waiting for you. Following a short safety briefing, the adventure begins: the boat accelerates, gliding swiftly yet smoothly over the waves, while you enjoy the refreshing breeze and panoramic views of the Red Sea coastline.

Dolphin Watching

The first highlight of your trip is meeting the most fascinating inhabitants of the Red Sea – dolphins. Watching them swim freely, playfully jumping out of the water, or swimming alongside the boat is a truly magical moment. Sometimes entire pods accompany the speedboat, creating unforgettable photo opportunities. Our guides always ensure respectful dolphin observation without disturbing their natural behavior.

Stop at Abu Minqar Island

Next, your boat will head to the charming Abu Minqar Island, a small sand island surrounded by turquoise waters. This hidden gem is perfect for relaxing, walking barefoot on the soft sand, or enjoying the serene atmosphere far from the crowds. You’ll also have the chance to take a refreshing swim or snorkel along the shoreline of this untouched paradise.

Snorkeling in Coral Reefs

Your tour also includes exciting snorkeling stops at some of the Red Sea’s most vibrant coral reefs. Equipped with high-quality snorkeling gear, you will discover a breathtaking underwater world: colorful corals, schools of exotic fish, and perhaps even turtles. This experience allows you to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Red Sea and enjoy a close-up encounter with its unique marine life.

After about 4 unforgettable hours, your skipper will safely take you back to the marina. From there, a comfortable transfer will bring you back to your hotel in Hurghada.
