Overview
Eden Island Hurghada is a full-day Red Sea boat trip from Hurghada's New Marina that combines a 45-minute coral reef snorkeling session with 5 hours of free time on a sandy island beach, a buffet lunch and unlimited drinks, in a group of no more than 20 guests.
Island day trips from Hurghada can mean a packed boat and a short stay on the sand. Cruisara's Eden Island trip is built the other way round: a sailing limited to 20 guests and 5 hours of free time on the island, with hotel pickup, snorkeling gear and lunch already covered.
