The boat slips away from Hurghada's marina and the Red Sea opens around you: a ribbon of turquoise broken by coral heads and the occasional sunbather on a white crescent of sand. Within an hour the engine eases and Paradise Island—part of the Giftun group—comes into view, its shallow reef sloping into clear water that invites immediate immersion.

The boat slips away from Hurghada's marina and the Red Sea opens around you: a ribbon of turquoise broken by coral heads and the occasional sunbather on a white crescent of sand. Within an hour the engine eases and Paradise Island—part of the Giftun group—comes into view, its shallow reef sloping into clear water that invites immediate immersion.
Giftun's low, sandy profile hides a geological story of coral growth over a shallow platform created by the Red Sea rift. Locals used these islands for fishing long before the area became a day-trip magnet; today the reefs around Paradise Island are known for hard and soft corals, schools of reef fish, and seasonal visits from hawksbill turtles.
On this full-day outing you’ll split time between guided snorkeling around vibrant fringing reefs and roughly 90 minutes ashore on a powder-white beach. Expect snorkeling visibility commonly between 15–30 m, warm water most of the year, and an open buffet lunch served onboard. The trip is low-impact but popular—respect marked channels, avoid touching coral, and use reef-safe sunscreen.
Practical notes: boats typically provide masks, snorkels and instructors, but bring a lightweight daypack, plenty of water, and a waterproof camera. Morning departures have calmer seas and better light for photos; afternoon returns often offer a mellow sunset across the Red Sea. For first-time snorkelers this is an accessible introduction to Egypt’s reefs—simple, vivid, and undeniably marine.
No—guided snorkeling with equipment and an instructor is included; snorkelers should be comfortable floating and breathing through a snorkel.
Yes—an open buffet lunch and soft drinks are provided on board as part of the trip.
The itinerary typically allows around 1 hour and 30 minutes on the island for swimming, walking and relaxing on the beach.
Many operators offer optional hotel pickup and drop-off—confirm at booking and check pickup time windows.
