Magawish Island Snorkeling Cruise & Beach Day Trip

Discover the clear waters and pristine sandbanks of Magawish Island, one of the premier offshore marine reserves located directly off the coast of Hurghada. Known for its quiet coastal atmosphere, sprawling white sandbars, and shallow turquoise lagoons, Magawish Island offers an ideal environment for swimming, open-water snorkeling, and seaside relaxation.

Your excursion begins with direct pickup from your hotel reception in an air-conditioned transfer vehicle, conveying you to the marina harbor. Upon arrival, step aboard a spacious motor yacht or high-speed vessel, where the professional crew will welcome you and conduct a brief orientation on marine safety and the daily schedule. As the boat sets sail into the Red Sea, relax on the sun deck and take in coastal views of the Hurghada shoreline.

The cruise includes two planned stops at vibrant coral reef locations surrounding the Magawish archipelago. Clean, high-quality snorkeling gear—including masks, fins, and safety flotation jackets—is provided on board. Led by an experienced snorkeling guide, dive into the warm, clear waters to observe colorful coral heads, sea turtles, rays, and tropical fish species inhabiting the protected reef ecosystem.

Following the open-water snorkeling stops, the vessel anchors near Magawish Island. Disembark onto the island to enjoy approximately 1.5 to 2 hours of dedicated leisure time. Walk along the soft sandbar, swim in the clear, shallow lagoons, or sunbathe on the beach. The shallow, gradual slope of the shoreline makes this site safe and easily accessible for swimmers of all confidence levels as well as young children.

A freshly prepared open-buffet lunch is served on board the boat, featuring fresh local dishes accompanied by complimentary soft drinks and mineral water available throughout the day. Depending on your selected package, guests can also enjoy fun towed water sports, such as banana boat or speed tube rides. Following a full day on the water, the boat sails back to the marina, where your driver will meet you for the return transfer directly back to your hotel.
