Private 4-Hour Dolphin Swim and Subwing Speedboat Tour in Hurghada
A private four-hour speedboat tour from Hurghada that combines wild dolphin encounters, reef snorkeling, and a subwing tow—ideal for families and small groups seeking flexible, close-up marine experiences.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Protect skin and corals—apply before boarding and reapply after swimming; sunscreen is essential under the Egyptian sun.
Wear a fitted mask
A well‑sealing snorkel mask improves comfort and photogenic shots; rented gear is available but your own mask often fits better.
Listen to the crew
Dolphins are wild—approach slowly, follow the skipper’s instructions, and avoid chasing animals in the water.
Hydrate and protect from wind
Bring a reusable bottle and a light wind shell for the open-boat stretches when spray and breeze can chill quickly.
