Your Hula Hula Island adventure begins with a convenient hotel pickup at approximately 08:00 AM. Our friendly Egypt Legacy representative will meet you in your hotel lobby in Hurghada, Sahl Hasheesh, Makadi Bay, El Gouna, or Soma Bay.
Travel comfortably in an air-conditioned vehicle to the marina where your boat awaits. The short transfer (typically 10-20 minutes depending on hotel location) gives you time to mentally prepare for the exciting day ahead exploring one of the Red Sea’s most beautiful island destinations.
Arrive at the bustling Hurghada marina where dozens of boats prepare for their daily island excursions. Our experienced guides will warmly welcome you and escort you to your designated boat—either the spacious shared vessel or your exclusive private speedboat, depending on your booking selection.
Comprehensive boat orientation includes:
The shared boats feature spacious two-level designs with comfortable seating on the lower deck, sun loungers on the upper deck for tanning enthusiasts, and shaded areas for those preferring protection from the sun. Private speedboats offer more intimate, streamlined experiences with dedicated crew attention exclusively for your group.
Find your preferred spot, stow your belongings safely, test your snorkeling equipment fit, and prepare for departure as the crew completes final safety checks and provisions loading.
Depart the marina and cruise to the designated water sports area where the excitement begins immediately! Shortly after leaving the harbor, the boat stops at a perfect location for adrenaline-pumping water activities.
Every guest receives:
Both water sports activities are included in your tour price—no additional fees! Mandatory life jackets keep you safe and buoyant throughout the rides. Experienced boat operators ensure thrilling yet controlled experiences suitable for most ages and fitness levels (pregnant women and those with back/neck issues should skip these activities).
Watch from the boat as fellow travelers take their turns, capturing action photos and videos of the hilarious wipeouts and triumphant completions. The shared laughter and excitement create wonderful bonding moments among your group.
After your exhilarating water sports session, dry off and relax as the boat navigates approximately 30 minutes to the first carefully selected coral reef snorkeling location in the open Red Sea.
This peaceful cruise segment allows you to catch your breath after the adrenaline rush, enjoy the stunning Red Sea scenery, and prepare mentally for the underwater wonders awaiting you. The sea’s incredible color gradations—from deep indigo to brilliant turquoise—create a constantly changing panorama.
Choose your preferred spot aboard: sun loungers on the upper deck for maximum vitamin D absorption, shaded seating areas for cooler comfort, or positions along the railings for unobstructed views of the coastline and passing islands.
Help yourself to complimentary soft drinks from the onboard supply—cold water, cola, sprite, and other refreshing beverages kept chilled throughout the day. Stay hydrated in the Egyptian sun!
Your snorkeling guides provide detailed safety briefings and equipment usage instructions during the cruise, ensuring first-time snorkelers feel completely confident and experienced snorkelers understand the specific site conditions and expectations.
Arrive at your first snorkeling destination—a spectacular coral reef site selected for its exceptional marine biodiversity, healthy coral formations, and relatively calm conditions perfect for snorkelers of all experience levels.
The Red Sea ranks among the world’s top snorkeling and diving destinations, and you’re about to discover why firsthand. This remarkable body of water maintains exceptional clarity, comfortable temperatures year-round, and hosts one of Earth’s most diverse marine ecosystems.
Don your snorkeling gear (mask, fins, snorkel) and mandatory life vest, then descend the boat ladder into the warm, inviting water. The Red Sea’s famous visibility (frequently 20-30 meters or more) creates underwater viewing conditions that rival the world’s most celebrated snorkeling destinations.
Underwater treasures awaiting you:
Professional snorkeling guides accompany you throughout the 30-40 minute session, pointing out fascinating marine creatures, ensuring everyone’s safety and comfort, and assisting less experienced snorkelers. They know exactly where the best coral gardens and fish congregations are located, maximizing your underwater encounter opportunities.
Float effortlessly in the buoyant saltwater, breathing calmly through your snorkel as you observe the incredible ecosystem thriving below. The warm Red Sea temperature (typically 22-28°C year-round) makes snorkeling comfortable without wetsuits during most seasons.
The boat navigates to a second carefully chosen snorkeling location featuring distinctly different coral formations, reef structures, and marine life populations. Each Red Sea reef possesses unique characteristics shaped by depth, current patterns, and geological features.
This diversity ensures you experience the full spectrum of the Red Sea’s underwater magnificence rather than seeing the same environment twice. The second site might feature:
Enjoy another 30-40 minutes exploring this underwater wonderland with your experienced guides. By the second snorkeling session, even first-timers typically feel significantly more confident and comfortable, allowing fuller appreciation of the marine environment’s extraordinary beauty.
The combination of two distinct snorkeling locations maximizes your Red Sea underwater experience and increases your chances of encountering diverse marine species and coral formations.
After your second snorkeling adventure, use the freshwater deck shower to rinse off saltwater, return your equipment, and relax as the boat prepares to navigate toward the stunning Hula Hula Beach on Giftun Island.
The highlight of your day arrives—Hula Hula Beach on Giftun Island! As the boat approaches this pristine paradise, prepare to have your breath taken away by one of the Red Sea’s most spectacularly beautiful beach destinations.
Hula Hula Beach has rapidly become Hurghada’s most popular island destination, and one glimpse reveals exactly why. This protected section of Giftun Island National Park showcases nature at its absolute finest:
Spend approximately 1.5 hours immersed in this island paradise. Wade into the warm, inviting water that glows with ethereal aquamarine and turquoise hues reminiscent of the Maldives or Caribbean. The exceptional water clarity allows you to see every detail of the sandy bottom even in waist-deep water.
Relax on the pristine white sand beach, sunbathe while listening to gentle waves lapping the shore, collect beautiful shells as natural souvenirs, or simply absorb the peaceful tropical island atmosphere far from everyday stress and worries.
The stunning natural beauty creates the ultimate backdrop for holiday photography. Couples capture romantic moments, families create treasured memories, solo travelers take triumphant selfies, and friend groups document their adventure together. The contrast of white sand against impossibly blue water creates photos that look professionally edited even straight from your camera!
The shallow, calm lagoons make Hula Hula Beach ideal for families with children who can safely play, splash, and explore tide pools. Non-swimmers feel completely comfortable wading in the gentle, transparent water.
After your island exploration and swimming, return to the boat where a satisfying lunch buffet awaits. All that snorkeling, swimming, and island exploring builds quite an appetite—perfect timing!
The convenient self-service buffet arrangement allows you to choose exactly what appeals to you from the variety of freshly prepared dishes. Take generous portions and return for seconds—this is your opportunity to relax, refuel, and recharge for the afternoon.
Typical lunch buffet features:
Unlimited soft drinks remain available throughout lunch and the entire day—cold water, cola, sprite, and other refreshing beverages to keep you perfectly hydrated under the Egyptian sun.
Dine on the shaded deck enjoying cooling sea breezes, share snorkeling stories and island adventures with fellow travelers, admire the beautiful seascape surrounding you, and savor the relaxed atmosphere of a perfect Red Sea day.
Vegetarians and those with dietary preferences will find suitable options in the buffet variety. Special dietary requirements should be mentioned when booking so the crew can make appropriate arrangements.
The afternoon hours are yours to enjoy exactly as you wish aboard the boat. This unstructured free time allows you to create your perfect Red Sea afternoon experience:
The onboard photographer continues capturing candid moments throughout the afternoon—relaxed scenes, group photos, action shots. At day’s end, you can review all captured images and purchase your favorites for an additional fee. This convenient service allows you to enjoy activities without constantly worrying about waterproof cameras and equipment.
Continue enjoying unlimited complimentary soft drinks to maintain perfect hydration levels. The attentive crew remains available to assist with anything you need and ensure your complete comfort throughout the afternoon.
As the boat begins its leisurely return journey toward Hurghada marina, savor these final moments on the water, breathing the fresh sea air and feeling grateful for this extraordinary day exploring one of Egypt’s most beautiful island destinations.
As afternoon transitions toward early evening, the boat completes its return journey to Hurghada marina. Enjoy the cruise back, watching the coastline pass by and reflecting on your wonderful day of Red Sea island adventures, spectacular snorkeling, thrilling water sports, and paradise beach relaxation.
Arrive at the marina around 4:00-4:30 PM where you’ll disembark. If you purchased photo packages from the onboard photographer, collect your digital files, USB drives, or printed photos before leaving the boat.
Your Egypt Legacy transfer vehicle will be waiting at the marina to transport you comfortably back to your hotel. The short drive provides time to organize your belongings, review your photos, begin sharing your Hula Hula Island adventure on social media, and start planning which friends and family to make jealous with your paradise beach photos!
Arrive back at your hotel around 5:00 PM (17:00), perfectly timed to shower off the saltwater, rest briefly, and prepare for your evening activities—whether that’s dinner, exploring Hurghada’s nightlife, or simply relaxing and reminiscing about your incredible Red Sea day.

The Egyptian sun is extremely intense! Apply broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen generously before departure and reapply every 1-2 hours, especially after swimming. Even brief sun exposure can cause severe burns. UV-protective rashguards provide excellent additional protection. Seek shade during midday peak hours. Sunburn ruins vacations—protect yourself seriously!
First-time snorkeler? No worries! Guides provide complete instructions. Breathe normally through your mouth using the snorkel. Anti-fog solution helps mask clarity. Move calmly—sudden movements startle fish. Never stand on or touch coral (living organisms that damage easily and can sting). Mandatory life vests keep you buoyant. Listen carefully to guide instructions.
If prone to motion sickness, take preventive medication 30-60 minutes before departure. Eat a light breakfast (empty stomachs worsen nausea). Stay on deck breathing fresh air rather than going inside. Focus on the horizon to stabilize your equilibrium. Ginger candy helps some people. The Red Sea is typically calm, but better prepared than uncomfortable!
Waterproof cameras or underwater phone cases essential for snorkeling photos. GoPros capture excellent underwater footage. Hula Hula’s turquoise water creates Instagram-perfect backgrounds—take advantage! The onboard photographer captures professional shots if you prefer relaxing without equipment worries. Fully charge all devices before departure—no charging facilities guaranteed onboard.
Bring cash for: Giftun Island park fee (€5 per person, mandatory), optional photo purchases (€15-30 typically), and crew/guide tips if satisfied (€3-5 crew, €2-3 guides suggested). Egyptian Pounds, USD, or EUR all accepted. Small denominations helpful. No ATMs on boats or island—prepare in advance.

Hula Hula Beach is Hurghada’s newest and most pristine island destination on protected Giftun Island. It features exceptionally white sand, incredibly clear turquoise water, and maintains its unspoiled natural state better than older, more developed island beaches. Many travelers consider it the Red Sea’s most beautiful beach—rivaling famous tropical destinations worldwide.
Swimming ability is helpful but not mandatory. Mandatory life vests keep you buoyant during snorkeling even if you can’t swim. Snorkeling guides assist non-swimmers closely. However, you should be comfortable in water. Hula Hula’s shallow lagoons are perfect for non-swimmers to wade and enjoy safely. Those extremely fearful of water might find snorkeling challenging despite safety equipment.
Absolutely! Families love this tour. Water sports, snorkeling, and beach time keep children entertained all day. Hula Hula’s shallow, calm lagoons are perfect for safe child play. Life vests mandatory for all water activities. Children must be supervised by parents/guardians. Infants under 3 travel free. Children 3-11 receive discounted rates.
Giftun Island is a protected National Park. The €5 per person entrance fee (paid at marina before boarding) is a government charge supporting environmental protection, conservation efforts, and maintaining the island’s pristine condition. This mandatory fee helps preserve the natural beauty you’re visiting. Not included in tour price as it’s paid directly to park authorities.
Approximately 1.5 hours at Hula Hula Beach—sufficient time to explore, swim, relax, take photos, and soak in the paradise atmosphere. Combined with two snorkeling sessions and water sports, the full day offers diverse experiences. Private speedboat charters offer more flexibility to adjust timing at different stops based on your group’s preferences.
Yes! Water sports are conducted by experienced professional operators using well-maintained equipment. Mandatory life jackets worn during banana boat and crazy sofa rides. The rides are thrilling but controlled—designed for excitement within safety parameters. Pregnant women and those with back/neck problems should skip water sports. Children participate under parental supervision.
Yes, if you prefer your own gear for hygiene or fit reasons. However, quality equipment (mask, fins, snorkel, life vest) is included and properly cleaned/sanitized between uses. Bringing your own eliminates packing and carrying bulky equipment. Most guests find the provided equipment perfectly adequate.
Onboard photographer pricing typically ranges €15-30 depending on package options (number of photos, digital files vs prints, USB drives). You’ll review all captured images at day’s end before deciding to purchase. Completely optional—no obligation. Many guests appreciate having professional shots without worrying about waterproof cameras during activities.
Self-service buffet featuring freshly prepared dishes: grilled chicken and fish, rice and pasta, vegetable preparations, fresh salads, bread, fruit, and simple desserts. Variety ensures everyone finds appealing options. Unlimited soft drinks (water, cola, sprite, etc.) included throughout the entire day. Special dietary needs should be mentioned when booking.
Budget travelers, solo adventurers, and couples prefer shared boats—exceptional value at €20-25 per person with fun social atmosphere. Families, friend groups, couples seeking privacy, or those wanting schedule flexibility should consider private speedboats. With 6-8 people, private boats become cost-competitive (€37-50 per person) while offering exclusivity and personalized service.
The Red Sea maintains comfortable temperatures year-round: 22-24°C (72-75°F) during winter months (December-February) and 26-28°C (79-82°F) in summer (June-September). Most guests find the water pleasantly warm without needing wetsuits. The comfortable temperature allows extended snorkeling and swimming without discomfort.
Both are stunning! Hula Hula is newer and slightly less crowded, maintaining more pristine natural conditions. Orange Bay is slightly more established with some additional facilities. Honestly, both offer spectacular white sand beaches and turquoise water that rival world-famous tropical destinations. You can’t go wrong with either—or do both on separate days!
Boats have basic restroom facilities where changing is possible, but space is limited. Most guests wear swimwear under clothing and arrive ready. Bring towels and cover-ups for modesty. Change back into dry clothes for the return hotel transfer. Private speedboats typically offer slightly more comfortable changing conditions than larger shared boats.
The Red Sea is typically calm, especially during tourist season (October-April). Most guests experience no seasickness whatsoever. Larger shared boats are particularly stable. If you’re prone to motion sickness, take preventive medication 30-60 minutes before departure, stay on deck breathing fresh air, and focus on the horizon. Frequent stops mean you’re not continuously cruising.
Subject to availability, same-day and next-day bookings are frequently possible, especially for shared boats. However, we strongly recommend booking 2-3 days in advance to guarantee availability, particularly during peak season (October-April) and for private speedboat charters which book up faster. Contact us immediately for urgent requests—we’ll do our best!
