Get ready to escape to paradise on this island getaway tour to Mahmya Giftun. With its postcard-worthy beaches, you’ll get to dive under the waves on a snorkelling experience, relax on the shores, and indulge in a delicious local lunch – it’s all on the cards. Ali, one of our local expert guides, says, ‘Mahmya is a slice of heaven on earth, the perfect place to soak up natural beauty and unwind. You’ll also learn about the conservation initiatives being carried out to save this natural haven.’

As you set sail towards Mahmya, make sure to snag a prime spot on deck to soak up the sun, sea breeze, and coastal views. Your local expert will set the scene, sharing interesting stories about the island's history – filling you with anticipation for the adventures ahead. After that ‘wow’ moment upon arrival, it's time to dive into an epic snorkelling adventure. Whether you're a snorkelling pro or just testing the waters, the guides will have you swimming among the colourful coral reefs and playful marine life like a true underwater explorer.

After all that underwater excitement, it's time to kick back and relax on Mahmya's sandy shores. Picture yourself playing beach volleyball, catching some rays, or simply strolling along the coastline with the breeze in your hair. And let's not forget about lunch – a scrumptious island buffet awaits, perfectly paired with jaw-dropping views that'll make your taste buds and Instagram followers swoon. With hearts and bellies full, you’ll then sail back to Hurghada feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

    Transfer went smoothly. Boat ride to myamah was good with enough room for everybody. Staff equipped everyone with snorkeling equipment quickly. Snorkel site was amazing, water so clear and so many fish. Beach had good amenities, and the food was tasty, and the beach was quiet. Water was lovely to swim in.

    We enjoyed this cruise at fully. The staff was really friendly and service minded. They are working for peanuts so of course they got tips as they served us very good. The island itself had a wonderful beach with smooth sand, some rocks but they are easy to bypass as they were in small piles in the sea. The snorkeling was wonderful, the reef was full of colorful fish and super clear sight. After snorkeling it was a buffet with some dishes, soda was included. Well worth the money

    The trip itself is excellent but spoilt by being miss sold by TUI! We were told by the rep and to be fair it states in your own advert that soft drinks are included! This is not true and at the very least misleading to the point of being a scam! Soft drinks are provided with lunch at all other times they are to be purchased when you decide how much cash to bring on the trip you may not take into account this cost! I did bring this up at the time & other tui guests were also unhappy with this

    The advert says full day snorkelling but in reality the guided snorkelling was only 30 minutes. While the experience was good, the majority of the day was spent travelling. Also, the base for the day has rocks / old coral at the edge of the sea, which all of us struggled to walk around or swim past. Considering how lovely the beach at our hotel was, which had coral within 3 minutes of the beach, the high cost of this trip was poor value.

    Mo our guide is an excellent employee and TUI should reward him. His knowledge and sense of humour made the day very special.

    We were well looked after by Mohamed. He explained our itinerary on the way and made sure we knew the important details. We thoroughly enjoyed our day. We felt very safe, the food was very good and we had a bar and toilets close by on the beach. The snorkel equipment was free to hire. We had a really relaxing day. Nothing not to like!
