The crystal-clear waters around Giftun Island showcase some of Egypt’s finest Red Sea snorkeling. The marine life here is simply incredible – we’re talking schools of tropical fish, pristine coral reefs, and frequent dolphin sightings.
Our favorite excursions include the speedboat tour (perfect for dolphin watching and quick access to prime snorkeling spots) and the Orange Bay combo trip (great value with beach time and excellent snorkeling in one package). The Hula Hula Cruise stands out for combining water activities with onboard comforts like massage services.
