A day out to enjoy
A nice day out. A lovely boat ride to the island. Then pick up your snorkelling equipment and spend some time on the beach. Go out to the reef and dive ( or not, if you prefer) and see the fish then back to the island for a good buffet meal and more time on the beach. Then back to the harbour, watching the sunset. Our guide, Bishoy Reza. was very nice and helpful, and his English is perfect. The boat crew were friendly and helpful. A lovely day out.

Zero ethics
What a scam. A storm rolled in with 30 mph winds - and they kept all of us on the dock for over an hour, told us it was dangerous to be on a boat in these conditions - but that “we could still go if we wanted to” ummm no thank you. We asked for a refund - I had paid $500 for the tour for our family of 4- and they refunded us $74.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We truly regret that your experience did not meet your expectations. On that day, weather conditions were indeed challenging, and for safety reasons, we informed all guests about the situation. The decision not to proceed with the trip was entirely respected, as guest safety is always our top priority. As per our policy, in such cases we can offer either a change of date or a partial refund. Since the trip did not take place, we proceeded with a partial refund as a gesture of goodwill, while some operational costs (such as reservations and permits arranged in advance) remain non-refundable. We always strive to be transparent and fair, and we appreciate your understanding. Your feedback is important to us, and we will continue working to improve our service.

A Romantic Escape to Mahmya Island – Perfect for Couples!
My partner and I had the most unforgettable day during our trip to Mahmya Island in Hurghada! From start to finish, it was an experience we’ll cherish forever. The Island: Mahmya Island is truly paradise on earth! The crystal-clear turquoise waters, pristine white sandy beaches, and vibrant coral reefs made it feel like we were on our own private island. We spent hours swimming, snorkeling, and simply lounging on the beach. The coral reefs are just a short swim from the shore, and the underwater world was absolutely mesmerizing. The Atmosphere: The island has a laid-back, peaceful vibe that’s perfect for couples. It wasn’t overcrowded, so we felt like we had enough space to relax and enjoy each other’s company in peace. The gentle sound of the waves, along with the beautiful views, created a truly romantic atmosphere. The Activities: We booked a snorkeling trip, and it was absolutely worth it. The guide was knowledgeable and took us to some of the best spots around the island. The underwater life was incredible — we saw colorful fish, sea turtles, and even a small ray! For those looking for something less active, there are plenty of sunbeds to relax on, and the beach bar serves delicious drinks and snacks. The Service: The staff on Mahmya Island were fantastic! From the moment we arrived, they were attentive, friendly, and eager to make our day special. We felt well taken care of, and they went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Food and Drinks: The buffet lunch offered a great selection of fresh seafood, grilled meats, and vegetarian options. The food was delicious, and the beachside setting made it even more enjoyable.

Brilliant island
We booked the mahmya island cruise through our Hurghada ToGo rep. I must say it was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The boats was separated into languages so English together, polish together, french together etc. We had an English tour guide Mina William who was so lovely and friendly. He explained the itinerary and what was going to happen through out the day. We got to see some dolphins which was just amazing, once on the island we went snorkelling (hire the equipment for free) and it was fantastic. There was an option to go back onto the boat and do some deep sea snorkelling but we didn’t fancy that. Buffet dinner was served on the island and it was lovely all the staff were very friendly and helpful. Young children was on board and joined in so when we come back with the kids we will definitely be doing this again.
Response from the operator: We would like to thank you very much for your positive review. We would be happy to welcome you again as your partner and organizer on one of your next excursions. Greetings from Egypt HurghadaToGo Tours

Very nice day
To be honest! We had a really nice day with lots of great impressions. 3 spots, two for snorkeling and the third for Mahmya island with its mega beach. However, quite a crowd of tourists. But thanks to the unusual location and the photo points, you can easily survive that. This was our first snorkeling trip to Egypt and we stayed at the Grand Makadi. The booking went great, the communication was good, the necessary information came in good time.Thanks to Mina William everything as described in the offer. Punctual pickup in front of the hotel resort, then about 35 minutes drive to Hurghada to the port. There on the ship with a bombastic nice crew who did everything for you. From initial explanations to great atmosphere and supervised snorkeling. In between, a great meal was conjured up and everything was recorded on photo and video. In the end you could buy everything (photos on the boat, posing photos on the island, videos of snorkeling) for €60. Was OK!

Mahmya Island all inclusive day trip Hurghada: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does Mahmya Island all inclusive day trip 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 Hurghada usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Mahmya Island all inclusive day trip 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 Hurghada is not rushed.
Is Mahmya Island all inclusive day trip Hurghada worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 38 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hurghada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Mahmya Island all inclusive day trip 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 Mahmya Island all inclusive day trip 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 Mahmya Island all inclusive day trip Hurghada?
+
Around 13 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 Hurghada 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 Hurghada and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mahmya Island all inclusive day trip 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 Hurghada 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 Hurghada?
+
On Outty we rank every Hurghada experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hurghada Diving Adventure one Day with two Dives Boat Trip, Hurghada to Cairo: Pyramids & Museum for First-Time Visitors, Hurghada Scuba Diving Full Day Boat Trip With Lunch & Transfer. 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 Hurghada?
+
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 Hurghada?
+
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.
