Your exciting day begins with an early morning pickup from your Safaga hotel, transferring you to the pier where your boat awaits. After a warm welcome and safety briefing from our experienced crew, we’ll set sail across the dazzling Red Sea towards the renowned Giftun Island National Park. En route, we’ll make two distinct stops at prime snorkeling locations, carefully chosen for their rich biodiversity and stunning coral formations. You’ll have ample time at each spot to immerse yourself in the warm waters, discovering a kaleidoscopic world of fish, corals, and other fascinating marine creatures. A delicious onboard lunch, featuring local flavors, will be served between snorkeling sessions, providing a chance to refuel and relax. After our underwater explorations, we’ll head to Giftun Island itself, where you’ll have free time to stroll along its pristine white sand beaches, swim in its shallow turquoise lagoons, or simply soak up the sun. As the afternoon draws to a close, we’ll begin our scenic journey back to Safaga, arriving at the pier in the late afternoon, followed by a comfortable transfer back to your hotel.
