Mahmya Island Snorkelling by Yacht in Hurghada

Hurghada mornings on this product start with hotel collection, then a yacht run of about one hour to Mahmya Island in Giftun National Park. A shuttle boat covers the last stretch so the reef stays protected, and you spend the day on the island rather than staying on the yacht. Snorkelling kit, lunch at the island restaurant, park fees, and water are already part of the day.

📋 Key Details

• Duration: About 9 hours including transfers
• Group size: From 1 person, up to 8
• Pickup: Included from Hurghada hotels
• Minimum age: Confirmed on the day
• Format: Yacht to Mahmya Island with snorkelling and restaurant lunch

🏄 What to Expect

Collection from Hurghada hotels is in the morning. Have swimwear, a towel, sun cream, and your passport ready, and stay in the lobby so the driver can find the right gate. At the marina you board the yacht for the crossing, then a smaller shuttle takes you to the island. Sit midship if you prefer a steadier ride, and keep bags closed on deck. Kit is issued on site, or you may bring your own mask and fins if you prefer a familiar fit.

Snorkel in the lagoon with a guide nearby, or stay in shallow water if you prefer. Children must be supervised around the Aqua Trampoline and the beach. Lunch is at the island restaurant, with seafood and Italian dishes listed, plus water and soft drinks. Vegetarian options can be requested when you confirm your place. The yacht then returns you to the marina and the same transfer takes you back to the hotel. Keep the rest of the day free, because sea conditions can stretch the return.

📍 Location

Mahmya sits on the southern shore of Giftun Island National Park, a short sea crossing from Hurghada. That geography is why the yacht anchors off the reef rather than tying up on the sand. The day is an island stay with lagoon snorkelling and a restaurant lunch, not a boat-only cruise that never puts you ashore for a sit-down meal.

Share your Hurghada hotel name when you confirm your place so the morning driver can plan the right gate. Stay reachable by phone from the start of the slot. Marina traffic and resort gates can shift the exact minute of collection.

✅ Prerequisites

No prior snorkelling experience is required. You should be happy entering the sea with a mask, or staying in shallow water near the beach if you are not a confident swimmer. Tell the team before you travel if you want a life jacket and easier water. Bring a passport, swimwear, a towel, and sun cream.

Supervise children around the lagoon. A published minimum age is not listed, so mention ages when you confirm your place. Tell the team about allergies before the morning pickup, because the island restaurant is not a hotel kitchen you can revisit later. Drinks at the beach bar beyond the included soft drinks are extra.

⭐ Why Choose Us

Transfer, yacht ticket, park fees, kit, lunch, and a guide sit in one day. You are not stacking a marina taxi on a separate island ticket. Groups stay up to eight guests, which keeps the crossing and the lagoon time easier to manage than a large buffet boat.

This is the Mahmya yacht day with island restaurant lunch, not the Giftun buffet cruise that stays focused on the boat. Park fees and the yacht ticket are included. If you want the boat-only Giftun day with a cruise lunch, that is a separate product. Here the point is time on Mahmya itself, with a shuttle in and a sit-down meal on the island.
