Hula Hula Island boat trip from Hurghada packs snorkeling and beach time into about five hours. You stop at two coral reefs with a snorkeling guide, then spend around two hours at Hula Hula’s beach club, where music, water games and optional water sports keep the atmosphere lively. A buffet lunch is served on board, soft drinks are included all day, and hotel transfers are arranged from Hurghada.
Important information
- Lively atmosphere: Hula Hula is a beach club with music and organised games. It is a fun, sociable place rather than a quiet retreat.
- Water sports: Motorised water sports are run by operators on the island and paid separately. Check the safety briefing and agree on the price before you start.
- Swimming and snorkeling: The reef stops are in open water, so non-swimmers should wear a life jacket and tell the guide before entering the water.
- Marine rules: Do not stand on or touch coral, feed fish or remove shells, sand or coral.
- Sea conditions: Boat trips depend on wind and sea conditions. The captain may change the reef stops or the schedule for safety.
- Shared trip: You travel on a shared boat with other travelers. For a private boat, see our private speedboat and snorkeling trip.
- Children: Children aged 0–3 travel free and children aged 4–11 pay half the adult price. Child-size life jackets are available.

Who is this tour for?
This trip suits travelers in Hurghada who want a fun, shorter day on the water, with snorkeling, a lively beach and the option of water sports. It works well for groups of friends, families with older children and couples who enjoy a sociable atmosphere.
It is less suited to travelers looking for peace and quiet. For a calm beach day, the Mahmya Island trip is the better fit.

Full tour overview
Hula Hula is a small island beach club in the Giftun Islands area off Hurghada. It has white sand, a shallow lagoon and a relaxed but busy atmosphere, with music, an animation team and a range of water activities on offer.
The trip fits into a morning or early afternoon. After hotel pickup, you transfer to the marina in Hurghada and board a shared boat. The first part of the day is on the water: two snorkeling stops at coral reefs, with equipment, life jackets and a snorkeling guide provided.
The boat then takes you to Hula Hula for about two hours ashore. You can swim in the lagoon, join the water games, relax on the beach or pay extra for activities such as jet skiing, parasailing or a banana boat ride. A buffet lunch is served on board, and soft drinks and water are available all day.
After your time on the island, the boat returns to the marina and you are driven back to your hotel.
This trip suits travelers who want a shorter, livelier day out with friends or family. If you prefer a calm full day with sunbeds and lunch on shore, choose the Mahmya Island trip. If you would like a natural lagoon with fewer activities, look at the Orange Bay Island trip.
