Itinerary

You're picked up from your resort in Hurghada for a fantastic Mahmya Island snorkeling day, boarding one of the Mahmya boats and sailing for around an hour to the picturesque island of Mahmya. Once you land, you're free to snorkel among the impressive coral heads scattered through the clear lagoon, or join in activities like beach volleyball and football, with Wi-Fi available in the lounge area.

At midday, join a snorkeling adventure by boat to Sabina Reef to witness the colorful marine life the Red Sea is famous for, with equipment available at the Aqua Centre on Mahmya Island. A sumptuous midday buffet follows, offering a delicious mix of salads, rice, pasta, fish, chicken, fresh vegetables, and fruits, along with a children's meal of chicken nuggets, fries, and ice cream. Water and soft drinks are provided through lunch, and there's a Happy Hour at the bar with a buy-one-get-one-free drink offer.

Later, sail back from Mahmya on Giftun Island to the Marina at Hurghada, where you'll be transferred back to your hotel.
