A local guide to the four best private speedboat trips in Hurghada, from wild dolphins to white sand islands, and how to choose the right one for your group.
Hurghada sits on one of the finest stretches of the Red Sea, and the fastest way to enjoy it is a private speedboat. No crowded decks, no fixed group schedule, just you and your people on the water. In this guide we walk through the four trips we run, what makes each one special, and how to pick the right day out for your group.
Every trip below is a private speedboat for up to 8 adults, runs for about 4 hours, and includes hotel pickup. The price is for the whole boat, not per person, so a group gets great value for a half day of freedom on the Red Sea.
Dolphin House: wild dolphins and two reefs
Dolphin House is the trip most people dream about. Your captain heads out to a stretch of open water where wild dolphins love to play, with two snorkeling stops on bright living reefs along the way. Dolphins are wild and free, so sightings are never guaranteed, but the open water, the speed, and the reefs make it a favorite even on a quiet dolphin day.
Best for: first time visitors, families, and anyone who wants the classic Red Sea experience in one trip.
Orange Island: white sand and turquoise water
Orange Island is all soft white sand and impossibly blue water. It is the easy, beautiful day out that looks unreal in every photo, with two reef stops on the way and plenty of time to swim and relax. If you want a postcard beach day with snorkeling on the side, this is the one.
Best for: couples, photographers, and groups who want beach time over a long boat ride.
Hula Hula Island: beach club vibes
Hula Hula is the stylish one. Think beach club energy on a postcard island, reached in minutes by speedboat. Snorkel the reefs, lounge in the turquoise shallows, and grab the kind of photos your feed has been waiting for. It feels like a private escape with a little extra polish.
Best for: groups of friends, special occasions, and anyone chasing the best photo spots.
Magawish Island: a peaceful lagoon
Magawish is the calm, quiet escape. A peaceful island wrapped in a turquoise lagoon, with gentle reefs to snorkel and space to truly switch off. Your speedboat gets you there fast, then the day slows right down. If the busy resort is not your scene, Magawish is the antidote.
Best for: families with young children, relaxed travelers, and anyone who wants quiet over crowds.
