Participants will be picked up from their hotel in an early morning in an air-conditioned minivan and taken to the boat. The journey takes you to Giftun Island with its fine sandy beach and turquoise water. In addition to two snorkeling trips on different reefs, you can also swim and snorkel during the approximately one hour free stay on the island. The wonderful underwater world of the Red Sea with its biodiversity will amaze you. Lunch will be served during the boat ride.
Upon arrival at the port, the transfer will take you back to the hotel in an air-conditioned bus.

We did several trips with Book Tour Egypt: Giftun and diving and Luxor from Soma Bay. The team has been very good to organize, answer our questions and even smooth out some issues we got. The specific trip to giftun has been very nice, with boat snorkling, stop in orange bay and sofa and banana boat. Highly recommended

We were on the bus for a hour before we reached the boat, The boat stopped for water sports, which was charged extra. We were not told of this so had not brought enough money. it then took us to a beach to let others off whilst we had to stay on board. This was mid day so over 4 hours travelling! The beach we ended up at for about 40 minutes (Giftun) was just sand with nothing to do, Our first snorkel sop was poor and the second not much better and it was very wavy and by this time the sun was setting so felt cold.. We have much better snorkelling at our hotel. The food was good.

Booked this boat trip, for an extended faimily of 10 with ages ranging from 6 to 65+.
The trip was well organised with fast responses to queries by email before we went.
A mini bus picked us up from the hotel, the driver arrived early, was very friendly and spoke very good english.
There were 32 people on the boat including several children, 4 of whom were in our party.
The boat was lovely and the crew were great fun and really made the experience. Overall they were fantastic, they even entertained the kids with some towel art during the trip.
We had 2 lovely snorkelling stops before going to Giftun Island . During the snorkelling stops the dive leader Jimaica looked after the younger members of our party, taking them out with a life buoy and pointing out all the fish and the wreck which we snorkelled over.
A big thank you also needs to go to the onboard photographer who took some amazing pictures of our family day out. You can purchase his photos and the snorkelling videos at the end of the trip, which we did and were delighted with.
Overall a great day out - highly recommended.
