Full-day snorkelling cruise to Mahmya Giftun Island in Hurghada

4.5/5
155 reviews

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.

    The tour was effectively organised and explained. Plenty of time was allowed on the island. There was an opportunity to snorkel off the beach in addition to the actual main experience

    Der Ausflug an sich wahr nicht schlecht. Der Preis ist sehr hoch angesetzt. Es wahr aber Rund herum ein schöner Tag, bis am Schluss. Der uns zugeteilte deutsch sprechender Reiseleiter war im sein früheren Leben ein professioneller Bettler. Gleich am Anfang verwies er uns, das er am Schluss für alle zusammen das Trinkgeld einsammeln würde, und das machte er auch am Schluss sehr professionell. Jeder würde persönlich am Strand von dem Herren mehr als Belästigt genügend Trinkgeld zu geben. Frechh
