Description

This Orange Island private speedboat tour from Sahel Hashesh leaves Sahel Hashesh Marina and heads into the clear waters of Egypt’s Red Sea. By speedboat, you reach Orange Bay, spend time in the water and enjoy the beach without the slower pace of a large shared boat. Our team keeps the outing organised while leaving time for swimming, snorkelling and a quiet break on shore.

At the marina, your guide welcomes you, explains the boat and safety arrangements, and checks that everyone is ready before departure. With a private speedboat, there are fewer people around you and it is easier to speak with the guide during the ride. As you cross open water, watch the coastline recede and look out for dolphins in the area.

If dolphins appear, the guide points them out and follows local safety guidance around the animals. When dolphins approach the boat and conditions allow, you may be able to swim near them under supervision. Wildlife sightings and close encounters are not guaranteed, so the focus stays on safe, respectful viewing rather than chasing the animals. The trip suits travellers who want time on the water and a chance to see nature without expecting a staged performance.

Snorkelling usually takes place at a suitable Red Sea spot chosen according to the day’s conditions. Put on the provided equipment, enter the water with guidance and look for small fish and coral formations below the surface. You do not need to be an experienced swimmer to enjoy the stop, but you should feel comfortable in open water. Life jackets and guidance are available, and the crew can explain the basics before you swim.

  • Private speedboat departure from Sahel Hashesh Marina
  • Snorkelling in the Red Sea with equipment provided
  • Time to look for dolphins, subject to wildlife and sea conditions
  • Beach visit at Orange Bay Island
  • Flexible pace for families, couples and small groups

Orange Bay Island is the beach stop that gives the excursion its relaxed pace. Walk across the white sand, wade into the shallow water and settle in after the boat ride. The pale beach and bright sea contrast with the deeper water offshore. Bring a cover-up and keep valuables secure while you swim, as the beach is a place to enjoy the setting rather than take all your belongings into the water.

The day follows a straightforward order: meet at Sahel Hashesh Marina, board the private speedboat, watch for dolphins during the ride, snorkel in the Red Sea, then spend time at Orange Bay before returning to the marina. The exact stops and time in the water depend on sea conditions, local instructions and the comfort of the group. Our team handles the practical arrangements so you can focus on the sea instead of organising boats and equipment separately.

Families can explore Egypt’s Red Sea on this family-friendly speedboat tour, provided children are supervised and comfortable around boats and water. The excursion may not suit travellers with serious mobility limitations, severe seasickness or anyone who cannot swim or enter a boat safely. If you have dietary, mobility or medical concerns, tell us when arranging the trip so we can explain what is practical. Bring sun protection, swimwear, a towel and any personal medication; wear secure footwear for the marina and follow the guide’s instructions throughout the outing.

Your Itinerary

Our team collects you from your hotel in Sahl Hasheesh and transfers you to Sahl Hasheesh Marina. After a short safety briefing, board the private speedboat and set out across the Red Sea. The boat ride is direct and gives you open views of the coast, with space to sit back between the swimming stops. This is a practical way to uncover Egypt’s Red Sea on a family-friendly speedboat tour, with the pace adjusted around the group.

Continue to the waters around Orange Island for your exclusive snorkelling trip. Your guide explains where to enter the water and helps you look for colourful fish and coral in the clear shallows. Dolphins may be seen during the boat journey, and if conditions and local guidance allow, you can swim near them without chasing or touching them. Time in the water is balanced with breaks aboard the boat.

Next, go ashore at Orange Bay Island to savour and see a remarkable white sand beach. Swim, relax, and take photographs before enjoying refreshments or a light meal according to the booked arrangements. When the island visit ends, return by speedboat to Sahl Hasheesh Marina, then transfer back to your hotel.

A wonderful day out! The speedboat ride to Orange Island was thrilling, and swimming with dolphins was the highlight of my trip. The island's white sand beaches are stunning, although it can get a bit crowded. Still, it's an experience I would recommend to anyone visiting Egypt.
