What is Eden Island Hurghada (and why it feels different)

Eden Island is sold as a relaxing โ€œVIP beach dayโ€ style excursion from Hurghada, usually combining a boat ride, beach time on the island, and optional snorkelling stops over Red Sea reefs. Many tour listings highlight lunch and soft drinks as part of the day, which is why itโ€™s popular with guests who want comfort and simplicity.

Some operators even describe Eden as a beach area on/near Giftun Island reached by speedboat optionsโ€”so you might see it grouped with other Giftun-style island experiences.

Who this trip is perfect for

If your group has mixed energy levels, Eden is a smart choice. It tends to suit:

  • Couples who want a โ€œromantic beach dayโ€ feeling without planning anything
  • Families who want a safe, easy schedule (especially with kids)
  • Friends who want snorkelling and a comfortable beach base
  • Travellers who want a calmer alternative to busier island days

Thatโ€™s why itโ€™s often marketed as a Hidden island Hurghada / calmer escape compared with more crowded options.

What a typical Eden day looks like

You start with hotel pickup, then head to the marina. The boat ride itself is part of the experience: sea breeze, bright water, and that โ€œholiday switchโ€ flipping on.

Most itineraries follow a rhythm like this:

  • Pickup from your hotel in Hurghada and transfer to the marina
  • Boat cruise out toward Edenโ€™s beach area
  • One or two snorkelling stops (depending on the package) with guidance and equipment often included
  • Arrival for beach time: sunbeds, shade, swimming, photos
  • Lunch (commonly buffet-style) and soft drinks on many programmes
  • Easy sail back to Hurghada and hotel drop-off

On booking platforms, youโ€™ll also see options that add watersports (like banana boat/sofa) to make it a more โ€œfun dayโ€ rather than purely chill.

Whatโ€™s included (and what to confirm before you book)

Because there are multiple versions of the trip, confirm inclusions so you compare prices properly (especially if youโ€™re booking from Europe in peak season).

Common inclusions on many Eden packages:

  • Hotel transfers (Hurghada areas)
  • Boat ride to/from Eden
  • Beach time on Eden
  • Lunch + soft drinks (often listed as buffet/open buffet)
  • Snorkelling stops and guide support, sometimes with equipment included

Common extras (varies by operator):

  • National park / marine fees (sometimes listed separately)
  • Watersports add-ons
  • Photos/videos

What to bring (simple list that saves the day)

European travellers often underestimate how strong the Red Sea sun can feel, even outside mid-summer.

Bring:

  • Towel + swimwear (wear swimwear under your clothes for faster changing)
  • Suncream, sunglasses, and a hat
  • Cash for small extras/fees
  • Phone waterproof pouch if you want beach and snorkel photos
  • Light long-sleeve top for the boat ride (sun + breeze)
  • Motion sickness tablets if youโ€™re sensitive on boats

Small tips to make Eden feel โ€œVIPโ€

These are tiny decisions that noticeably improve your day:

  • Choose a trip that arrives earlier if you want the calmest beach atmosphere
  • If youโ€™re new to snorkelling, pick a package that clearly mentions a snorkelling guide and equipment
  • If youโ€™re travelling with kids, prioritise comfort: shorter boat time + more beach time
  • If your goal is pure relaxation, skip extra watersports and keep it simple

This is also why many people search Private island day trip Hurghadaโ€”not because they need luxury, but because they want a smoother pace.
