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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Collection from Hurghada hotels is in the morning. Have swimwear, a towel, sun cream, and your passport ready. Stay in the lobby so the driver can find the right gate before the marina run.
The yacht crosses for about one hour, then a shuttle boat takes you to the island so the reef stays protected. Sit midship if you prefer a steadier ride. Keep bags closed on the deck.

No previous snorkelling experience is required. Calm lagoon water is the usual setting, with a guide nearby, and groups are listed up to eight guests.
If you are not a confident swimmer, say so when you confirm your place. A life jacket can often be arranged, and you can stay in shallow water near the beach while still enjoying the island day.
The demand is a nine-hour window with a yacht crossing of about one hour, a shuttle to the island, time in the lagoon, and a sit-down lunch. You walk on sand and enter the sea with a mask rather than completing a long swim.
Heat and sun on Mahmya add to the day, so bring a hat and reapply sun cream. Keep the rest of the day free, because sea conditions can stretch the return to Hurghada.
A published minimum age is not listed, so mention ages when you confirm your place. Children must be supervised around the lagoon and the Aqua Trampoline.
Bring a passport, as it is requested for marina and park check-in. The island restaurant is not a hotel kitchen you can revisit later, so tell the team about allergies before the morning pickup.
Wear swimwear under light clothes, and bring a towel, sun cream, sunglasses, and a hat. A passport is requested, so collect it before pickup rather than leaving it in the room safe.
Mask, snorkel, and fins are included, with a snorkelling guide on hand. You may bring your own kit if you prefer a familiar fit. Reef-safe sun cream and a rash vest still help in the lagoon.
Kit is issued on site and a guide stays nearby in the lagoon. You can stay in shallow water if you prefer, and children must be supervised around the Aqua Trampoline and the beach.
The yacht anchors offshore to protect the reef, then a smaller shuttle takes you to the island. That is why you do not step straight from the yacht onto sand.
Plan for about nine hours from collection to drop-off. That covers the marina transfer, around one hour on the yacht, the shuttle to the island, snorkelling time, lunch, and the run to your Hurghada hotel.
Keep the rest of the day free. Sea conditions can stretch the return, so avoid stacking a late plan you cannot move.
This island day still runs on the large majority of dates, which is why weather is marked as rarely a blocker. Wind and swell can make the crossing lumpier and can stretch the return.
If the yacht cannot leave, you will be contacted with the next steps. Keep your phone on from the start of the morning slot so the driver can reach you if the collection minute shifts.
Sit midship if you prefer a steadier ride on the yacht, and keep bags closed on deck. The shuttle to the island is short once the yacht has anchored off the reef.
In the lagoon, stay in shallow water and ask for a life jacket if you want one. The guide is nearby, and you can spend more time on the beach and at lunch if you would rather not snorkel far from shore.
Pickup from Hurghada hotels is included, plus the return after the yacht is at the marina. Send your hotel name after you confirm your place so the driver can plan the morning window.
Stay in the lobby from the start of the slot. Marina traffic and resort gates can shift the exact minute, so keep your phone on until the vehicle arrives.
Choose your date on the calendar, then you receive confirmation by email and a request for your hotel name. Request vegetarian dishes at the same time if needed, because lunch is at the island restaurant with seafood and Italian dishes listed, plus water and soft drinks.
Bring confirmation and ID. If your hotel changes, send the update so the driver is not sent to the previous stay on the morning of the trip. Drinks at the beach bar beyond the included soft drinks are extra.
