Private Speed Boat to Magawish Island
Short description
Magawish Island is a quieter alternative to the busy beaches near the hotels, and a private speed boat is the most relaxed way to reach it. Only your own family or friends are on board, with an experienced captain at the wheel, so you set the pace of the day. We collect you from your hotel in Hurghada, drive you to the marina and hand you over to the crew. Trips run daily with a choice of start time from 09:00 to 13:00, and you spend about four hours on the boat itself before the ride back to your hotel.
Your first stop is a colorful coral reef, where snorkeling gear is ready on board. The spot is gentle enough for beginners, so you can look at the coral and tropical fish straight away. Fuel and life jackets are covered. You then carry on to Magawish Island for free time on a soft sandy beach: swim in the turquoise shallows, sunbathe and take holiday photos. If the sea is rough, the order of the stops may change.
The island entrance fee is not included and is paid in cash on arrival. Food, drinks, photos and personal expenses are also extra. Bring your passport or a copy, swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat. Your exact pickup time depends on your hotel and is sent by WhatsApp or Telegram after you book.
