Super recommend it
Amazing, crew on boat was super friendly, giving clear instructions, even doing magic tricks to entertain us. They helped us with snorkeling, my friend was scared but he stood by us all the time. Food was good, boat was clean, good music and island view was breathtaking. Do it!!!

Wonderful snorkeling trip on the Red Sea
We had a wonderful full day Red Sea trip from Hurghada with snorkeling, lunch and a stay at Giftun Island/Orange Bay. We really enjoyed it. The trip was well organized, including the transfer from and to our hotel. There was enough snorkeling equipment and you could also shower after snorkeling. There were drinks during the whole day and even some fresh fruit. At the end you could also do a short banana boat ride. There were no extra fees. The crew was very nice, fun and helpful! They did a great job!

really pleasant experience
to start things off the transfer to the harbour went really smoothly and we boarded the ship on time. after that, we went to the first snorkeling spot which was a wonderful riff with lots of corals and fish but people who couldn’t swim/were insecure also went into the water so they rushed us through it and it was a lot of people, too. you just kept swimming into each other/crossing each other. please consider it’s probably a well visited riff and the guides are under pressure regarding the time they can spend there and have no influence how many people there are. however, after that minor incident, we went to a different snorkeling spot where we were allowed to roam on our own for however long we liked. afterwards we were allowed to jump from the upper deck into the sea which was a really nice experience. then we got food which was okay, they served standard things like all variations of carbs, some meat and veggies. next we went to giftun island/orange bay. the scenery was breathtaking. there’s things to consider for older/non mobile people tho: you have to get on a transfer boat two times and get on some big steps on a staircase which probably isn’t ideal for people who are limited in their ability to move. then the boat rides back in the direction of the harbour. yet again, transfer to the hotel went smoothly. theres not much the crew or organisators can improve as it’s not in their hands, as mentioned above. definitely worth the time and money. you had to pay 35€ for photos the photographer takes of you tho which is a bit pricey and it was only like 5 pics and 5 videos, that’s okay tho as that’s probably his only source of income. plus, only one person out of two paid for us and we still received all photos taken of both people and the video jumping from the ship. big shout out to the photographer, guides and crew. all of them were super friendly, helpful (helped clean my goggles and helped those who can’t swim) and pleasant to be around. not to mention the organisators and drivers, they were extremely nice and respectful!

From Hurghada: Orange Bay Snorkeling Trip with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does From Hurghada: Orange Bay Snorkeling Trip with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $19 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hurghada usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Hurghada: Orange Bay Snorkeling Trip with Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hurghada is not rushed.
Is From Hurghada: Orange Bay Snorkeling Trip with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 36 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hurghada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Hurghada: Orange Bay Snorkeling Trip with Lunch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is From Hurghada: Orange Bay Snorkeling Trip with Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Hurghada: Orange Bay Snorkeling Trip with Lunch?
+
Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hurghada can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hurghada and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Hurghada: Orange Bay Snorkeling Trip with Lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hurghada within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hurghada?
+
On Outty we rank every Hurghada experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hurghada: Luxor Valley of the Kings & Tutankhamun Tomb Trip, Orange Bay Island, Luxury Cruise to Orange Bay and Hula Hula island Trip. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hurghada?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hurghada?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
