A private boat takes you from Hurghada into the Red Sea to Mahmya Island, inside the protected waters of Giftun Island National Park, for a full 8-hour snorkeling trip. The boat and guide are yours for the day no set groups, no rushing to match someone else's pace. That makes it work just as well for a first snorkeling attempt as for an experienced diver who wants more time in the water.
The route crosses coral reef before the boat reaches Mahmya itself, so you get more than one chance to get in the water. Mahmya's beach stays clean and uncrowded because access to the island is limited a rule meant to protect the reef, and one that also means fewer people sharing the same stretch of sand. You can spend the extra time swimming, snorkeling again from the shore, taking photos, or just sitting still for a change.
Because the tour is private, the pace bends to what your group actually wants longer in the water, longer on the beach, an earlier or later return. Your guide handles the logistics so you don't have to think about timing.
The day starts with hotel pickup in Hurghada, then a transfer to the marina to board your private boat. From there, you sail out with stops for snorkeling before landing on Mahmya Island, and the boat brings you back toward Hurghada by evening, with private transport returning you to your hotel.
Timing and Pace. Because this is a private tour, pickup time and time spent snorkeling versus relaxing on the beach can shift to suit your group let us know your preference when booking.
