Giftun island

What it's like

Beach stop with an island bar on Giftun's south shore, mapped next to Paradise Island and Mahmya. In one Musement/TUI itinerary the day boat leaves the marina about 09:30, reaches the island about 10:30, then allows about 45 minutes of snorkelling and a buffet lunch before sailing back at 16:45. The speedboat time is the Giftun-wide operator figure of 20 to 30 minutes.
