Incredible
I enjoyed this activity a lot; if you like marine life, snorkeling is a great option. The food was good. Magawish is worth seeing; it is crystal clear and beautiful. I recommend wearing beach shoes since there are rocks and dead coral on the shore.
Response from the operator: Gracias por elegir Red Dragon Tours Egypt. Nos alegra mucho saber que disfrutó de su experiencia con nosotros. Su satisfacción significa mucho para todo nuestro equipo y esperamos darle la bienvenida nuevamente en su próxima visita a Egipto.

The best tour company to visit Magawish Island with.
Wonderful trip to Magawish Island. The tour company makes it very easy and enjoyable and works hard to ensure a great experience. This trip, on an excellent boat, offered two great snorkeling spots and then time at Magawish Island. The island time was great in that I could snorkel at my own pace and it is truly a beautiful place. Lastly, the guides on the boat are professional and very helpful. Truly a great experience!

Magawish Island Snorkeling, Diving Cruise With Lunch – Hurghada: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Safaga.
How much does Magawish Island Snorkeling, Diving Cruise With Lunch – Hurghada cost?
+
Prices start at $5 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Safaga usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Magawish Island Snorkeling, Diving Cruise With Lunch – Hurghada take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Safaga is not rushed.
Is Magawish Island Snorkeling, Diving Cruise With Lunch – Hurghada worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Safaga, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Magawish Island Snorkeling, Diving Cruise With Lunch – Hurghada?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Magawish Island Snorkeling, Diving Cruise With Lunch – Hurghada suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Magawish Island Snorkeling, Diving Cruise With Lunch – Hurghada?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Safaga can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Safaga and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Magawish Island Snorkeling, Diving Cruise With Lunch – Hurghada start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Safaga within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Safaga?
+
On Outty we rank every Safaga experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Orange Bay Giftun Island Snorkeling Cruise With Lunch – Hurghada, Full day trip to Luxor with littel Group & Tutankhamun Tomb, Hurghada Airport Private Transfer to and from All Hotels. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Safaga?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Safaga?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
