A ribbon of sun spills over the Red Sea as the boat slips away from Hurghada’s marina, engines humming and spray tasting of salt. On this VIP Dolphin House day trip, the ocean opens into wide blue and the Giftun Islands grow larger—shorelines of pale sand, reef shoulders that rise like submerged ridgelines. Guides scan the horizon for fins while the deck hums with anticipation.

Open‑sea crossings can be choppy—take medication beforehand if you’re prone to seasickness.
