Hula Hula Island Hurghada is an 8-hour boat trip to a quiet beach on Giftun Island, away from the resort crowds. The reef starts a few metres from the shore, and the yacht stops twice more for snorkeling. You get 1.5 to 2 hours on the island, with lunch on board and a beach of white sand, bean bags and sun loungers.

1.5 to 2 hours on the island: swimming, bean bags, sun loungers and photos on the white sand. The reef here starts a few metres from the shore, so you can snorkel straight off the beach. - Lunch and water activities
