Spend a full day on Mahmya Island from Hurghada, snorkeling protected Red Sea reefs and relaxing on white sand beaches within a safeguarded marine area.
After hotel pickup you transfer to the marina and cruise out to Mahmya in the Giftun Islands area. Clear water and lively coral make this a strong snorkeling day, with time to swim and unwind on the beach.
The protected island setting is quieter than busy mainland beach clubs, with facilities that support a full day on site before the return transfer to your hotel.
Mahmya Island sits off Hurghada in Egypt's Red Sea, known for white sand, turquoise shallows, and reef systems inside a marine sanctuary.
No snorkeling experience is required. Bring swimwear and be comfortable with boat travel. Carry passport or ID if required for island access.
Hotel transfers and a full-day island format keep logistics simple. Mahmya's protected setting suits travelers who want reef time and beach downtime in one outing.
Meet your driver at the hotel lobby and transfer to the marina. Board the boat for the crossing toward Mahmya Island, with the Red Sea coastline fading behind as you head into clearer island water.
Arrive at Mahmya for snorkeling among coral reefs and colourful fish in clear, shallow water. Guides help beginners get comfortable, while stronger swimmers can explore further along the reef edge.
Use the rest of the island stay for swimming, beach time, and photos on white sand before boarding for the return cruise. Your transfer then takes you back to the Hurghada hotel.
Hotel pickup in Hurghada is the usual meeting plan, with transfer to the marina departure point. Share your hotel name and a WhatsApp number at booking so the driver can confirm the time.
If you are staying outside Hurghada city, ask about any extra transfer fee before you travel.
Mahmya sits within the Giftun Islands marine area off Hurghada and is known for protected reefs, white sand beaches, and clear shallow water that suits snorkeling and beach time.
Facilities on the island help make a full day comfortable without needing to rush back to the mainland for lunch or shade.
Plan for about 7 hours including hotel transfers, the boat crossing, snorkeling, and beach time on the island.
Exact timings can shift with marina schedules, sea conditions, and how long the group spends at each stop.
Yes. Pickup and drop-off are included for hotels in Hurghada, so you do not need separate transport to the marina meeting point in the city.
Share your hotel name at booking. Hotels outside Hurghada may incur an extra transfer fee.
Yes. The outing is aimed at snorkelers and beach visitors of all experience levels. Life jackets and guidance are typically available for beginners.
If you are nervous in open water, stay close to the crew at the first reef stop.
Bring swimwear, a towel, sun cream, sunglasses, and a hat. Cash is useful if entrance or island fees are payable on the day, depending on the rate you booked.
A waterproof phone case helps if you want reef photos without risking your handset.
Yes. Families commonly join this shared sea trip. Infants must sit on laps where permitted, and children should be supervised in the water.
Check child and infant ticket options at checkout before you confirm.
Some rates exclude entrance and island fees, so budget for those unless your confirmation says they are already covered. Ask at booking if you are unsure which rate you selected.
Personal expenses and optional tips remain outside the fare in any case.
If sea conditions are unsafe, the team may delay, adjust the itinerary, or reschedule. Safety comes first on Red Sea boat days.
Message the team on WhatsApp with your booking details if the morning looks rough and wait for confirmation before leaving the hotel.
This is a shared full-day sea trip rather than a private speedboat charter. You travel with other guests on a scheduled boat programme to Mahmya.
If you need a private boat to Mahmya, ask about the separate private speedboat product before booking.
A passport may be required for island access in the Giftun marine area. Carry valid ID as advised on your confirmation.
If anyone in your party is travelling on a different document type, check with the team before departure day.
