Set off from Hurghada on a private speedboat to search for wild dolphins, snorkel two reef sites, and relax on Orange Bay’s sands. This five-hour trip combines wildlife viewing with accessible snorkeling and a guided beach stop.

A low-slung speedboat slips away from Hurghada’s marina, spray tasting of salt and diesel as the Red Sea opens ahead. The guide scans the horizon; dolphins often pick the same lines of current, riding the bow and teasing the wake. For five hours the trip moves between search, snorkeling, and a slow island stop at Orange Bay where pale sand meets warm, clear water.
