Giftun Island Full-Day Snorkeling Trip from Hurghada
A full day of coral reefs, white-sand beaches, and warm turquoise waters aboard a comfortable two-story vessel.
The Giftun Island snorkeling trip takes you to the most celebrated island destination on the Egyptian Red Sea coast, combining open-water sailing, vibrant coral reef stops, and an afternoon on one of the finest natural beaches in the region.
Guests are collected from their hotels after breakfast and transferred directly to the departure pier, where a spacious two-story boat awaits. The vessel provides ample deck space for relaxation between activity stops, giving you a comfortable base throughout the full day on the water.
En route to Giftun Island, the boat pauses at a selected coral reef site so passengers can snorkel above a rich underwater landscape teeming with marine life. Masks, fins, and basic guidance are provided, making the experience accessible even for first-time snorkelers.
The final destination is Giftun Island itself, reached by a short shuttle transfer from the main vessel. The island sits within the Giftun Island National Park and is known for its powdery white sand and exceptionally clear, warm shallows ideal for swimming and additional snorkeling.

Itinerary
A representative collects you from your hotel lobby and transfers you to the departure marina. The drive is short, allowing you to board the vessel and settle in before the boat leaves port.
The boat anchors at a designated reef site along the route to Giftun Island. You will have time in the water to explore the coral ecosystem before reboarding and continuing the journey.
A smaller tender boat ferries guests from the main vessel to the island's beach. This short transfer brings you directly onto the white-sand shore of Giftun Island National Park.
Enjoy the beach at your own pace — swimming, snorkeling in the shallows, or simply relaxing on the sand. The clear waters here offer excellent conditions for independent exploration.
The boat returns to Hurghada in the mid-afternoon, and guests are transferred back to their hotels. The full day concludes with drop-off at your accommodation by the late afternoon.
