Product Info

Giftun Island has a special place in Hurghada’s Red Sea story. For many travelers, it is the kind of sea day they imagine before arriving in Egypt: a boat leaving the marina, blue water stretching in every direction, an island stop for swimming and photos, and time to enjoy the calm side of the Red Sea. This Giftun Island Hurghada experience is built around that simple idea, giving guests a comfortable way to enjoy a Hurghada Boat Trip with island time and snorkeling or sea stops included according to the selected program.

The trip begins with the option you choose. Guests who prefer independence can select the entry-only ticket and arrive directly at the marina before departure. This option is suitable for travelers who already have transport arranged, are staying nearby, or want to manage their own timing. Guests who prefer pickup included should choose the correct shared transfer option based on their hotel area. Hurghada, Sahl Hasheesh, and Makadi Bay are included in one transfer option, while Al Ahyaa, El Gouna, Safaga, and Soma Bay are covered under the extended-area option. Because these areas are farther from the marina, pickup and drop-off may take longer, so choosing the correct option is important.

At the harbor, the day starts with check-in and boarding. The crew welcomes you, explains the basic safety instructions, and prepares the group for the journey. Once the boat leaves the marina, the atmosphere begins to change. The sound of the city becomes distant, the sea becomes wider, and the day turns into a relaxed Red Sea escape. You can sit back, enjoy the breeze, take photos, or simply watch the water as the boat moves toward the Giftun Island area.

Shared Giftun Island Tour — Without Transfer (Entry Ticket Only)

This option is designed for guests who will reach the marina by themselves. It includes the shared Giftun Island boat experience and the sea program arranged for the day, but it does not include hotel pickup or drop-off. Guests should arrive on time, show the booking confirmation when required, and be ready to board before departure.

Shared Giftun Island Tour — Hurghada, Sahl Hasheesh, Makadi Bay

This shared option is a practical choice for guests staying in the main resort areas. Pickup and drop-off are included from Hurghada, Sahl Hasheesh, or Makadi Bay, making the day easier from start to finish. After pickup, you join the shared boat program with island time and selected snorkeling or sea stops.

Shared Giftun Island Tour — Al Ahyaa, El Gouna, Safaga, Soma Bay

This option is created for guests staying in extended pickup areas. It includes shared transfer from Al Ahyaa, El Gouna, Safaga, or Soma Bay and gives access to the same shared Giftun Island experience once you reach the marina. Transfer time can be longer from these locations, so guests should be ready at the confirmed pickup point.

{VIP} Full Private Giftun Island Tour By Boat (All Locations)

This private boat option is suitable for families, groups of friends, or travelers who prefer more space and privacy during the day. The ticket covers up to 15 persons, and customers should select 1 item only when booking because the price applies to the full private boat, not each guest separately. Pickup is available from all listed locations, making it a comfortable private option for groups staying around Hurghada-area resorts.

{VIP} Full Private Giftun Island Tour By Speedboat (All Locations)

This option gives guests a faster and more compact private sea experience. The private speedboat ticket covers up to 8 persons, and customers should select 1 item only when booking. It is a good choice for travelers who prefer a quicker journey to the island area, a private setup, and a more flexible style than the shared boat program.

During the trip, Giftun Island becomes the main stop for relaxation. You can enjoy the beach atmosphere, swim in clear water, take photos, or rest near the sea. The snorkeling or sea stops add a light adventure element to the day, offering a chance to enjoy the Red Sea from the water. The exact route, stop order, snorkeling location, and timing may change depending on wind, waves, visibility, marina arrangements, and safety decisions. The crew chooses suitable locations for the day, and guests should follow all instructions during water activities.

This Hurghada Snorkeling Tour is not meant to feel rushed. It gives you time to enjoy the sea journey, the island setting, and the peaceful rhythm of being away from the shore. At the end of the program, the boat or speedboat returns to the marina. Guests with included transfer continue back to their hotel area, while entry-only guests finish at the meeting point and continue independently.

Whether you choose the shared boat, private boat, or private speedboat, the experience offers a clean and flexible way to enjoy Giftun Island Hurghada with comfort, sea views, and a real Red Sea holiday atmosphere.
