A full day at Giftun Island near Hurghada with three snorkeling stops over vibrant coral reef and a fresh beachside BBQ lunch.

Picture a full day away from the resort, cruising across turquoise water to Giftun Island — famous for its powder-white sand and shallows so clear you can spot the reef before you even get in.

Along the way, you'll make three snorkeling stops over healthy coral reef, teeming with color and life. Whether you're a first-timer or a regular, the pace is easy and unrushed, with plenty of time to explore beneath the surface.

Come lunchtime, you'll head to the beach for a barbecue cooked right there on Giftun Island — fresh, simple, and about as close to the sea as a meal can get. The rest of the day is yours: stretch out on the sand, take another dip, or just enjoy the view.

A relaxed, well-rounded Hurghada classic for anyone who wants sea, sand, and good food in one easy day trip.
