Giftun Island National Park Full-Day Snorkeling Trip from Hurghada
A full day on the Red Sea — snorkeling, dolphins, coral reefs, and a protected island retreat.
This Giftun Island snorkeling trip takes you across the Red Sea to one of Egypt's most biodiverse marine environments, where coral gardens, tropical fish, and resident dolphins share the same crystal-clear waters.
Departing from Hurghada, the journey combines two distinct experiences: open-water snorkeling at select reef sites and a visit to Giftun Island, the centerpiece of a protected national park that limits access to preserve its natural beauty.
A generous lunch buffet served on board or ashore gives you time to recover between swims, making this a well-rounded day that suits first-time snorkelers and seasoned reef enthusiasts alike.

Snorkel at multiple Red Sea reef sites teeming with colorful marine life.
Spot dolphins in their natural open-water habitat during the boat crossing.
Explore Giftun Island, a protected national park with white-sand beaches.
Enjoy a lunch buffet included in the trip, served fresh during the excursion.
Travel by boat across open Red Sea waters with scenic coastal views.
Easy difficulty level — suitable for beginners with no prior snorkeling experience required.
Itinerary
Board the boat at Hurghada Marina and set out onto the Red Sea. The crew briefs passengers on snorkeling safety and equipment before the first stop.
The boat anchors at a prime reef location where guests can enter the water and observe coral formations, reef fish, and other marine species. Snorkeling gear is provided on board.
During the crossing toward Giftun Island, the crew monitors for dolphin pods commonly found in these waters. Guests are invited to observe from the deck.
Step ashore on Giftun Island, part of a nationally protected marine park. The island features white-sand beaches and calm, shallow waters ideal for a second snorkeling session.
A lunch buffet is served, giving guests time to relax and refuel before the return journey. Vegetarian options are typically available on the buffet spread.
