Description
Not all island trips from Hurghada are the same. **Hula Hula Giftun Island** is the one with the hammocks, the wicker hanging pods, the beach cabanas, and an atmosphere that feels like a boutique beach club dropped into the middle of the Red Sea. It's the trendiest, most Instagram-worthy island destination from Hurghada — and the snorkeling on the way there and back is world-class.
Our **Hula Hula Giftun Island Sea Trip from Hurghada** gives you a full day: two dedicated snorkeling stops over vibrant Red Sea coral reefs, two hours on the island beach with all its unique facilities, and a freshly prepared lunch on board — with all transfers, entrance fees, and equipment included.
## Hula Hula Beach Island — The Red Sea's Most Stylish Island Stop
Hula Hula Beach Island sits within Giftun Island National Park, one of Egypt's most protected marine zones — which is why the reefs around it are so pristine and the water so extraordinarily clear. But it's the island itself that sets Hula Hula apart from other Hurghada day trips.
Where most island beach stops have basic facilities, Hula Hula has invested in an atmosphere. The beach is set up with traditional palm-thatch umbrellas alongside hammocks strung between posts, elegant wicker egg-shaped pod loungers right on the sand, and shaded wooden cabanas overlooking the turquoise water. The iconic **HULA HULA BEACH ISLAND** sign is the backdrop for every photo. The combination of white sand, turquoise water, and the island's distinctive rustic-chic beach furniture creates an experience that feels genuinely special.
## Two Snorkeling Stops — Giftun National Park Reefs
Hula Hula's location within Giftun Island National Park places it in some of the best snorkeling water in the entire Hurghada region. The national park designation protects these reefs from overdevelopment, and the results are visible underwater: living coral gardens in extraordinary condition, crystal-clear water with visibility regularly reaching 45 metres, and a rich diversity of marine species.
**First Snorkeling Stop:** About 45 minutes from Hurghada marina, the boat anchors at a prime Red Sea reef for a one-hour snorkeling session. With visibility up to 45 metres, you'll explore colourful coral formations, clownfish in sea anemones, parrotfish, angelfish, groupers, manta rays drifting through, and sometimes dolphins.
**Second Snorkeling Stop:** After your beach time at Hula Hula, the trip includes a second one-hour snorkeling stop at a different reef location — new coral systems, new species, and a different perspective on the extraordinary underwater world of the Red Sea.
A snorkeling guide accompanies the group in the water at both stops. Masks and fins are provided on board.
## 2 Hours at Hula Hula Island — Beach, Hammocks & Wicker Pods
The highlight of the day is your time on Hula Hula Island — two full, free hours to enjoy however you like.
Swim in the impossibly clear turquoise water. Claim a hammock and sway gently above the sand while watching the Red Sea. Settle into one of the signature wicker egg-shaped pod loungers that have become Hula Hula's most iconic feature. Photograph the island sign against the blue sky and white sand. Take a walk along the shoreline with views of the open Red Sea and the distant Hurghada mountains. Or simply do nothing — which at Hula Hula is an art form.
## Freshly Prepared Lunch on Board
The day includes a **freshly prepared lunch** cooked on board by the boat's chefs, served with **unlimited soft drinks and mineral water throughout the entire day**. Lunch is typically served on board between the morning snorkel and the arrival at the island.
