🐠 Giftun Island Snorkeling Trip – Red Sea Reefs & Boat Day
Giftun Island Snorkeling Trip 2026 – Enjoy a full-day Red Sea adventure with 2–3 reef stops, coral snorkeling, and a relaxing boat cruise from Hurghada.
Experience one of the classic Red Sea boat days with our Giftun Island Snorkeling Trip from Hurghada. This full-day excursion takes you by comfortable boat to the coral reefs around Giftun Island, with 2–3 snorkeling stops, lunch on board and relaxed sailing between the sites.
Unlike Paradise Island and Orange Bay, this Giftun Island snorkeling tour focuses more on the underwater world: colorful coral gardens, reef walls and plenty of fish. It is a perfect choice if your main priority is snorkeling and Red Sea life, while still enjoying a chilled boat atmosphere, sunbathing on deck and beautiful sea views.
Many guests combine this Giftun Island Snorkeling Trip with a second day at Paradise Island Hurghada or Orange Bay Island Hurghada to get both reef and island experiences.
