Board a private speedboat from Hurghada Marina for a family-friendly 4–5 hour outing: dolphin watching in open water, guided snorkeling over luminous coral reefs, and beach time at Abu Minqar or Giftun. National Park fees and snorkeling gear are included for a streamlined day on the Red Sea.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off Hurghada Marina onto a low-slung speedboat, salt in the air and the Red Sea opening bright and wide ahead. The engine nudges the surface, spray lifts, and the shoreline of hotels blurs into low reef islands. In a few knots you’ll be watching dolphins arc and play, then trading sunlight for the filtered hush of a coral world as you slip into clear water.
