Red Sea Marine Park Regulations & Departure Jetties
Most full-day Giftun Island boats depart directly from the Hurghada New Marina south jetty or private hotel piers between 08:30 and 09:00.
When booking a Red Sea boat excursion to Orange Bay or Paradise Island on Giftun Kebir Island, watch out for lowball street quotes that omit the mandatory $5.00 USD (270 EGP) Red Sea Marine Park conservation tax and equipment surcharges, which are then demanded in cash on the pier before boarding.
For land-based attractions such as the Hurghada Grand Aquarium (Safaga Road), Mini Egypt Park (Makadi Bay), or the Hurghada Museum of Egyptian Antiquities (Al Mamsha South), taking a GPS-metered Uber directly to the official ticket counter and paying the posted gate tariff saves 35% to 50% compared to bundled hotel lobby coach tours.

Verified Marine Park & Beach FAQ
Yes. Because Giftun Kebir and Giftun Soraya are protected marine reserves administered by the Red Sea Protectorates Authority, every boat passenger must pay a statutory $5.00 USD (approximately 270 EGP / 4.65 EUR) environmental conservation fee per day. Always confirm whether a quoted boat excursion includes this $5 USD marine park tax upfront.
Orange Bay occupies a wide, shallow, crystal-clear turquoise sandbar on the western side of Giftun Island with overwater wooden swings and beanbag lounges (approximately 30 EUR / 1,620 EGP all-inclusive with 2 snorkel stops). Mahmya Eco-Beach sits on the southern bay of Giftun Island, featuring a direct coral reef drop-off from the beach, shaded palm-frond pavilions, and a premium open buffet (approximately 70 EUR / 3,780 EGP).
Dream Beach on Sheraton Road (opposite the Hurghada Marriott, 500 EGP / 9.26 EUR including towel and sunbed) and Old Vic Beach at the northern start of Al Mamsha (450 EGP / 8.33 EUR with a calm sandy lagoon) both sell walk-in day passes at the gate.
