Mahmaya: Giftun Island Snorkeling Cruise

Hurghada, Egypt

Spend a relaxing day soaking up the sun and swimming in the crystal clear waters of the Red Sea. There's nothing to worry about on this leisurely cruise to Giftun Island. Either sit back and enjoy the sunshine, or don the snorkeling gear available and explore life beneath the surface of the Red Sea Coast. A day trip to Giftun Island National Park is hard to skip when you're in Hurghada, so why miss out!

You will be collected from your hotel and taken to the port to board your boat bound for Giftun Island. The sailing time is approximately 45 minutes and you will stay at the island until around 11:30am.

Returning to the boats, you will sail between the three islands and stop for around one hour of snorkeling. Returning to Giftun Island at around 1:00pm, lunch will be served at one of the restaurants, then you have free time to further explore the island before returning to the boat at 3:30pm.

Don't worry if you don't have your own snorkeling gear, it is available upon arrival at Giftun Island at the Aquarius center, free of charge.

A picturesque location,but very crowded I counted 70 boats in the area. Go now before the reef is ruined.The meal on the island is good,but drinks pricey. Watch out for the sand flies as you can end up with a lot of bites.
