History

The Giftun islands have long been used by local fishermen and were incorporated into regional tourism and marine protection efforts as Red Sea resorts developed in the late 20th century.

Conservation

Coral reefs here are sensitive; use reef-safe products, avoid standing on coral, and follow guides’ instructions to reduce your impact.

Adventure tips

Use reef-safe sunscreenApply mineral-based sunscreen before boarding and reapply after swimming to protect coral and your skin.

Bring a snug maskSnorkel masks are provided but a well-fitting personal mask keeps water out and extends your time exploring reefs.

Prepare for sun and windA wide-brim hat, UV shirt, and sunglasses are useful between swims when sun reflects off the water.

Manage seasickness proactivelyTake anti-nausea medication before departure if you’re prone to motion sickness; the boat can roll in open water.

Recommended gear

Reef-safe sunscreen: Protects your skin while preventing damage to coral reefs.
Snorkel mask (personal): A well-fitting mask improves comfort and visibility if you prefer your own gear.
Light UV shirt and hat: Blocks strong sun during surface intervals and on the beach.
Seasickness medicine or wristbands: Helpful if you are prone to motion sickness on open-water crossings.
