Family friendly
Overview
Two protected reefs and a lazy island beach.
Giftun is Hurghada’s island national park — protected reefs, gentle currents and easy entries straight from the boat. It’s the day we recommend to families and anyone who wants to build snorkel confidence.
Expect two unhurried reef stops, a long beach break on Giftun’s shore and a generous lunch on board.

Our 4-year-old snorkeled for the first time. Patient crew and calm water — ideal.
