Private Speedboat to Mahmya Island with Lunch from Hurghada
A private escape to the Red Sea's most celebrated island sanctuary
A private speedboat to Mahmya Island offers one of the most rewarding half-day experiences available from Hurghada, combining open-water cruising, a dedicated snorkeling stop, and a relaxed island lunch on pristine white-sand shores.
The Giftun Islands sit within a protected national park zone in the Egyptian Red Sea, and Mahmya is widely regarded as the most accessible and visually striking of the group. The surrounding waters hold some of the clearest visibility in the region, drawing snorkelers and divers from across the world.
Traveling by private speedboat reduces transit time significantly compared to standard group ferries, leaving more time on the island itself. The route crosses open water where sightings of flying fish and the occasional dolphin are not uncommon.
All equipment for the snorkeling stop is provided on board, and the crew guides guests to a reef section suited to the group's experience level. The island portion of the trip includes a buffet-style lunch and complimentary soft drinks.

Itinerary
A private shuttle collects guests from their Hurghada accommodation and transfers them directly to the departure marina. Check-in is straightforward, and crew members conduct a brief safety orientation before boarding.
The speedboat departs the marina and heads southeast toward the Giftun Islands. The crossing offers open-water scenery and the first views of the island chain on the horizon.
Before reaching Mahmya, the boat anchors at a selected reef site for a snorkeling session. Masks, fins, and snorkels are distributed on board, and the crew assists guests in the water.
The boat docks at Mahmya, part of the Giftun Islands protected area. Guests have approximately two hours to explore the beach, swim in the shallow lagoon, or simply relax on the sand.
A buffet lunch is served on the island, featuring local dishes alongside soft drinks. The setting overlooks the turquoise water, making for a scenic dining experience.
The speedboat returns to the Hurghada marina in time for the afternoon. A private transfer then brings guests back to their accommodation.
