Hurghada: 6 Islands Tour with Dolphin Watching & Snorkelling

7.6 Islands Tour with Dolphin Watching & Snorkelling

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,624 reviews · 8 hours · from $51

Spend about eight hours on a Hurghada speedboat visiting Giftun, Nemo Bay, Orange Bay, Magawish, White Island, and Juzur Abu Monqar. Expect three snorkeling stops, a wreck, dolphin watching when conditions allow, fruit and drinks, and guides such as Basil, Fatih, Omar, and Ahmed.

“This 6-islands tour is, in my opinion, the best and most complete boat experience in Hurghada. It offers a perfect balance between excellent snorkeling and enough time to truly enjoy the islands, without any rush. The snorkeling is a major highlight, especially the stop at a sunken boat, which makes the experience even more memorable. The tour includes ample time at Orange Bay and at Magawish Island, which is just as beautiful but far less crowded, giving it a more authentic and relaxed atmosphere. The speedboat, with its limited capacity, is a huge advantage. Even though it is a full-day tour, the fast transfers allow you to comfortably visit all…”
