Paradise Island From Hurghada Sea Trip

The name says it all. Paradise Island is one of the most beautiful beach destinations in the entire Red Sea region — and getting there by boat from Hurghada is one of the most enjoyable day trips you can do in Egypt. Crystal-clear turquoise water. Golden sandy beach backed by palm-thatch umbrellas and sun loungers. Two world-class snorkeling stops over vibrant coral reefs. A freshly prepared lunch on board. And two full hours on the island to swim, relax, and photograph one of the most photogenic beaches in Egypt.

The Paradise Island From Hurghada Sea Trip is graded Easy — ideal for all ages, all swimming abilities, and anyone who wants a beautiful, unhurried Red Sea island experience with nothing to organise and everything to enjoy.

Paradise Island — The Red Sea's Most Aptly Named Beach

Paradise Island earns its name. The beach is exceptional by any standard: fine white sand that stays cool underfoot, water that shifts from pale turquoise in the shallows to deep sapphire further out, and a backdrop of rugged Egyptian mountains visible across the Red Sea that makes every photograph look like a postcard.

The island's beach facilities are beautifully designed in a natural, rustic style: rows of traditional palm-thatch umbrellas, comfortable sun loungers, wooden bean bags, and shaded cabanas — all set directly in the sand, steps from the water. The island's famous PARADISE sign on the beach has become one of the most photographed spots in the Hurghada region.

The water at Paradise Island is exceptionally calm, clear, and shallow near the shore — making it ideal for families with young children, first-time snorkelers, and anyone who simply wants to wade and swim in perfect Red Sea water.

Two Snorkeling Stops — Colorful Coral Reefs Near Hurghada

Despite the island's easy, relaxed character, the snorkeling on this trip is genuinely excellent. The Paradise Island sea trip includes two full snorkeling stops at prime Red Sea reef locations.

First Snorkeling Stop: About 45 minutes after leaving Hurghada marina, the boat anchors at a spectacular reef with visibility up to 45 metres. The underwater world here is extraordinary: living coral gardens in every colour, clownfish sheltering in sea anemones, parrotfish grazing on coral, manta rays gliding through the blue, and occasional dolphins in the deeper water. Your snorkeling guide accompanies the group in the water, pointing out marine life and assisting beginners.

Second Snorkeling Stop: After the island beach time, the trip includes a second hour of snorkeling near the coral reef — a different reef system with different species and coral formations from the morning stop.

All snorkeling equipment is included: masks, fins, flippers, and life jackets provided on board.

2 Hours on Paradise Island Beach

The centrepiece of the day is your time on Paradise Island itself — two full, unstructured hours on one of the most beautiful beaches in Egypt.

Swim in the turquoise shallows. Photograph the iconic PARADISE sign and the sweeping beach panorama. Relax on a sun lounger under a traditional palm-thatch umbrella. Walk the shoreline and take in the extraordinary sight of red desert mountains reflected in the calm Red Sea. Use the beach cabanas for shade during the hottest part of the day.

This is genuine beach paradise — and two hours is enough time to fully settle in, swim, explore, and photograph everything.

Lunch & Soft Drinks on Board

Between the morning snorkel and the beach time at Paradise Island, a freshly prepared lunch is served on board — Egyptian and international dishes cooked by the boat's chefs, with unlimited soft drinks and mineral water throughout the entire day. Past guests have highlighted the excellent quality and generosity of the on-board meals.
