Mahmaya Island, also known as Paradise Island is a little bit of heaven on earth.

If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of Hurghada, this is the place to go. It takes approximately 45 minutes by boat, usually from the Sheraton Marina. Surrounded by the warm tranquil Red Sea, the snorkelling is excellent.

Going with your rep from the Hotel will cost approx £17.00. This includes snorkelling gear, and lunch. Usually two snorkelling sites are visited.

There are also half day trips available.

I just got back from Hurghada.

Payed $30 for a day trip with 4 locations: P. island (1 hour) snorkeling, coral reef snorkeling (1 hour), lunch, coral reef snorkeling (40 minutes), coral reef snorkeling (1 hour).

Was back at the hotel at 4pm or so.

It was good, not mind blowing though.

Recommend taking sun block, water and hat/glasses.

P`S` There will be a camera man filming everybody on the boat. After wasting $25, my only advice is - Do not bother buying their DVD (CD or VCR) - it is poorly made.
