Overview
Paradise Island Hurghada is a full-day Red Sea boat trip to a sandy island beach off the coast of Hurghada, combining a 45-minute coral reef snorkeling session with 5 hours of free time on the island, a buffet lunch with unlimited drinks and hotel pickup in Hurghada.
Hurghada has several island beaches that look alike in photos, so it is hard to tell which trip gives you real time on the sand. Cruisara's Paradise Island trip puts the numbers up front: 5 hours of free time, a 45-minute snorkeling session, lunch and drinks included, and a group of up to 40 guests.

Bring sunglasses, a hat and sunscreen, and keep your phone in a waterproof pouch near the water. Photos or videos by the photographer on the island are not included .

Frequently Asked Questions
Which island in Hurghada is considered the best?
No island in Hurghada is officially the best: Paradise Island suits a family-friendly beach day, Orange Bay is known for its shallow, photo-friendly water, Mahmya for a quieter eco beach-club feel, and Magawish for the shortest boat ride, so the best island depends on what you want from your day. Compare Cruisara's island trips in Paradise Island Hurghada Day Trip: How It Compares above.
Is Magawish Island or Orange Bay better for chilling?
For chilling, Magawish is the quieter choice and Orange Bay the more photogenic one: Orange Bay is known for wooden swings and shaded lounging areas but can get busy from late morning, while Magawish is described as calmer with gentle snorkeling . Our Paradise Island trip is another relaxed option, with 5 hours of free time on the beach. Our trips do not visit Magawish.
Which beach in Hurghada is considered the best?
There is no single best beach in Hurghada, but travel guides most often name the Giftun Island beaches (Paradise Island, Mahmya and Orange Bay), Magawish Island and, on the mainland, Sharm El Naga, and the best pick depends on whether you want family-friendly shallows, snorkeling or quiet. If you prefer to snorkel straight from the shore with no boat, see our Sharm El Naga excursion.
What should I bring to Paradise Island?
Bring a passport photo on your phone, a towel, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, cash for optional extras and any personal medication. Reef-safe sunscreen is the better choice to protect the coral, and a waterproof phone pouch is useful near the water. Pets, drugs and alcoholic beverages are not allowed.
What is the best time to visit Paradise Island?
The best time to visit Paradise Island is April to May and October, when the sea is warm and the days are calm, and morning departures usually have the calmest water. Winter (November to March) is mild, though north winds can occasionally cancel a boat trip, and summer is hot, so bring shade and water.
Is hotel pickup included?
Yes, hotel pickup is included for hotels in Hurghada: Cruisara collects you between 7:30 and 8:30 AM, depending on your hotel's location, and takes you back to your hotel after the trip. Hotels in El Gouna, Makadi, Sahl Hasheesh and Safaga need a separate transfer, so message us on WhatsApp.
Is Paradise Island worth visiting from Hurghada?
Yes, Paradise Island is worth visiting if you want a relaxed beach-and-snorkel day: Cruisara's trip gives you 5 hours of free time on the island, a 45-minute snorkeling session and lunch, and travel guides describe the beach as calm and family-friendly. Some operators' visits include beach-club extras such as music and shows, so if you want a very quiet beach, ask us before booking.
