What makes Hurghada and the Red Sea really worth the visits are the beauties under water. The easiest access might be the glass boat or the submarine but much more fun is to jump yourself into the water and snorkel at the coral reefs. There are plenty of such tours offered everywhere. Look around to find the most suitable ones for you. It covers mostly the whole day, the boat is going about one hour until it reaches a reef. Usually you do one snorkelling before lunch (which is usually offered on board and included), during that time the boat often moves to an other place where you are snorkelling again. Dont expect that your boat with about 20 - 30 or so people is the only one around. Mostly some boats are anchoring together, one tied to the other and a lot of people are snorkelling together with you. So you happen almost always to see others snorkelling around you but what you see around the reef is simply great. Incredible varieties of species of the maritime fauna, swarms of colourful fish and all the phantastic things you have seen only in the best aquaria and in books are around you and obviously dont care about you at all.
On some of the tours the Giftun island is visited.

This is a sandy island in the Red Sea about up to one hour by small boats from Hurghada. It is not much to see there except a nice sandy beach. All what might be of interest on the island is off limits because it is a protected area.
There are nice coral reefs close to the island which are great for snorkelling.
