Mahmya Island Snorkeling Trip from Hurghada with Lunch
- 4.9 on Tripadvisor · 88 reviews
- Licence No. 121
Tour Overview
About an hour by boat from Hurghada, Mahmya is a beach on Giftun Island inside Giftun Island National Park. This day trip combines snorkeling in its clear lagoon with lazy hours on the sand and lunch at the island restaurant.
Giftun is a protected area, which helps keep the water clear and the coral heads healthy. You can snorkel straight from the beach over coral heads in the lagoon. A snorkeling guide is on hand to help, and equipment is provided. If you would rather rest, the white beach is the place to stay. The trip suits beginners, families and anyone who wants a calm day by the water.
We collect you from your hotel and take you to the yacht. The boat ticket and park fees are covered. So are bottled water, a soft drink and lunch at the island restaurant. Personal extras and tips are not included.
Mahmya appeals to travelers who want something quieter than a busy town beach. The clear lagoon water helps first-time snorkelers feel at ease, while confident swimmers can explore further with the guide. Parrotfish and butterflyfish are common sights on Red Sea reefs like these. Much of the day is free time on the island, so you can split it between the water and the shade.
Practical details
The trip runs every day. Bring swimwear, a towel, sunglasses and reef-safe sunscreen. Snorkelers should mention any health conditions and their swimming ability when booking, so the guide can plan accordingly.
Prices start from $129 per person.
