Boxi, the Hurghada water taxi
Boxi is a public water taxi linking Hurghada with the Red Sea islands: Orange Bay, Paradise Island, Eden Island, Magawish, Nemo Bay and Hula Hula. The advertised fare starts at €25, with hotel pick-up, the boat ride and island entry. There are three departures a day, at 9am, 11am or 1pm, and you book it through our WhatsApp.
We confirm the price before you book anything.
A day at sea, your way
No set programme: the boat drops you on the island, you spend several hours there at your own pace, and then you head back.
Want mostly beach and lazing about? Or would you simply rather leave at 11am than at 8am? That's exactly what Boxi is for.
Fancy a fully organised day instead, with lunch on board, snorkelling stops and a crew looking after everything? Those are the trips run by our partner Hurghada Habibi. The two work well together: Boxi for freedom, the full excursion for a day where everything is sorted.
