Blast across the Red Sea on a private speedboat from Hurghada to Orange Bay for snorkeling, beach time, and possible dolphin encounters. This four-hour private trip mixes fast coastal cruising with guided reef swims and a relaxed island stop.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The sun hits the Red Sea like a polished coin as the speedboat slips away from Hurghada’s pier, spray cutting the air and the coastline shrinking behind you. Within twenty minutes the water shifts color—turquoise to deep indigo—and the silhouette of Orange Bay (often called Paradise Island) appears, a crescent of pale sand and coral-studded shallows where dolphins sometimes ride the bow.
