A private 3–4 hour speedboat from Hurghada that combines high-speed cruising, 90 minutes ashore at a Giftun Island, guided snorkeling and a 5–7 minute double parasailing flight over the Red Sea.
The speedboat cuts a clean line across the Red Sea at first light, spray stinging the cheeks as Hurghada’s coastline recedes and a chain of coral-ringed isles draws near. Above, the wind unhooks a kite of color and, moments later, a parasail tugs a rider skyward; below, the sea dares you to drop in and meet the reef. This private 3–4 hour outing combines high-speed cruising, a 90-minute island stop, guided snorkeling and a 5–7 minute double parasailing flight.

Above, the wind unhooks a kite of color and, moments later, a parasail tugs a rider skyward; below, the sea dares you to drop in and meet the reef. This private 3–4 hour outing combines high-speed cruising, a 90-minute island stop, guided snorkeling and a 5–7 minute double parasailing flight.
Geology and history are close at hand: the Red Sea’s rift-driven basin and warm currents built the region’s coral platforms over millennia, and Giftun’s sands are the product of broken coral and ancient shell. The islands sit within a broader marine ecosystem long used by local fisherfolk; modern tourism has brought regulated access and a focus on reef stewardship.
Expect clear, shallow fringing reefs populated with parrotfish, angelfish and occasional hawksbill or green turtles. Culture on shore is relaxed—basic beach facilities and casual vendors on popular islands; service aboard most private boats includes water, snacks and snorkeling kit.
Practicalities: the excursion runs about 180–240 minutes door-to-door with private hotel pickup from Hurghada. Board and disembark from small tenders; bring reef-safe sunscreen, a wind layer and secure footwear for wet decks. Parasailing operators typically limit weight and require lifejackets; the airborne segment is brief but panoramic. Morning departures offer calmer water and better visibility for snorkeling, while the midday light is best for photos. The reef is fragile—observe no-touch rules and follow your snorkeling guide.
Each double parasail flight lasts about 5–7 minutes with attentive staff and lifejackets provided.
Operators typically offer choices such as Orange Bay, Paradise Island, Hula Hula, Mahmya, Eden Island, Magawish or Nemo Island—confirm before departure.
Yes—snorkeling equipment and a guide are normally included for the island stop, though some travelers prefer their own mask.
Families are welcome; infants usually must sit on an adult’s lap and operators set age/weight limits for parasailing—check booking requirements.
