Lagoon town, open sea: islands, reefs, dolphins and private speed boats for El Gouna guests, drive included.
El Gouna lives on the water, yet every one of our boat trips sails from the marina in Hurghada, south of town. A driver takes you there from your hotel and brings you back. Out at sea, each island has its own feel: Orange Bay for white sand and a lagoon, Mahmya and Eden for lunch on the beach, and Paradise, Bianca and Hula Hula for a relaxed hour ashore. Most trips also stop twice to snorkel on coral reefs.
Want more than one island? Orange Bay and Magawish come together in one day, and Ozirea is a newer island near Hurghada with sun loungers. Divers can do 2 dives at 2 reefs with PADI instructors, and a first dive is an option on one Orange Bay trip. Dolphin House is the place for wild dolphins. Guests who would rather stay dry watch the reef from the Sea Scope, a glass bottom boat, or the Panorama and Nefertari in Makadi Bay.
Some groups want the sea to themselves. Our private speed boats go to Orange Bay, Hula Hula Island, Magawish Island or Dolphin House with your own captain for about 4 hours, while the pirate sailing boat and the Elite VIP boat are fun shared choices. On the full-day shared trips, lunch and snorkeling gear are usually included. We send your El Gouna pickup time via WhatsApp or Telegram.

No one can promise that, as the dolphins are wild. The area is known for frequent sightings, so your chances are good.
