What to expect

Start by sailing over the Red Sea's turquoise waters towards the island, located in the protected Giftun Island National Park near Hurghada. Enjoy the warmth of the sun on your back as you sail over, then disembark to pick up your snorkeling gear and recline under the thatched sunshades. After a buffet lunch that includes a special kids' menu for the little ones, there's more time to unwind or take a dip in the water before heading back to Hurghada in the late afternoon.
