1.PRIVATE! | 4-hour Speed Boat Trip | Swim With Dolphins, Snorkeling & Island

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 341 reviews Our pick

From Hurghada Marina, take a private speedboat with a captain and snorkeling guide to Red Sea reefs, dolphin areas, and a shallow island stop. You may snorkel at Carless Reef or Omo Gamaar, visit the Giftun Islands, and swim near dolphins in open water. Guides such as Islam, Mohammed, and Said have helped beginners and children feel at ease.

“Captain Islam was fantastic! He made us feel safe as beginner swimmers and like we were on a real adventure! He held my hand until I was comfortable to swim across the coral reef by myself and saw the most beautiful and colorful fish! The highlight of the trip were the dolphins that greeted us in the spot he predicted! A whole family jumping, twisting and waving their fins! This is a memory I will savor for the rest of my life! I highly recommend!”
