Our Giftun Island Snorkeling trip will bring you face to face with an almost surreal underwater world. While the island itself might be little more than a small Desert Island, the waters around it are like a dream come true for snorkelers. With crystal clear turquoise water and an almost infinite amount of aquatic life, Giftun Island is a real Red Sea gem.

Our Giftun Island snorkeling trip includes the use of all necessary snorkeling gear; a nice buffet-style lunch aboard the boat, and the chance to snorkel at numerous sites all around the island.

On the day of your Giftun Island snorkeling trip, our tour representative will collect you from your hotel at about 07h30. You will then be driven to the pier where you will be boarding your Giftun Island snorkeling cruise. Since we only partner with the very best operators, you can be sure that your boat will modern, comfortable, and fully equipped.

The boat operator provides free bottled water and one free soft drink, so we recommend take a bit of cash with you for buying additional refreshments. Shortly after you have boarded the boat, it will depart from the pier, and it will make its way to Giftan Island.

Giftan Island and the surrounding area were declared a Protected Area in 1995. Once you enter the incredibly clear water, you will immediately understand why. There are more than 196 different types of coral in the waters around the island. There are also around 750+ different fish species living in the area. This represents about 65 percent of the different species found in the Red Sea.

Hurghada’s coastline is home to a total of 44 diving and snorkeling hotspots, and 14 of these are found at Giftun Island. This is exactly what makes our Giftan Island snorkeling trip so totally unforgettable. What makes this trip even better is the fact that you will be free to begin your snorkeling almost from the minute you boat arrives on location.

Your Giftan Island snorkeling trip includes snorkeling at multiple sites around the island, so it is important that all swimmers return to the boat when instructions to do so are given. At around midday, there will be a buffet style lunch served on board the boat. After eating, you will be able to enjoy some more snorkeling.

At around 15h00, you will all board the boat again, and it will then return to the pier. On arrival at the pier, our tour representative will be there to meet you, and then transfer you back to your hotel. Your 8 hour Giftan snorkeling package has now come to an end.
