Very unpleasant service, unprofessional company
I booked the parasailing, sofa bed ride activity with this company. I do not recommend it at all, they scammed us. I paid for 10 minutes parasailing and it was less then 3 minutes, I recorded the whole session. The sofa bed ride never happened. Book from somewhere else, not egyptra travel services. They really do not care about the service they provide.
Response from the operator: We are so sorry. We will try to change this as soon as possible. With best wishes, Egyptra Team

Not really paradise but the boat trip made up for it.
My husband, my 16 year old and myself enjoyed this trip very much. We went with Blue Sky/Blue Waves which were a company not associated with our travel rep - but it was cheaper and I have to say the service and facilities were excellent. I wasn’t impressed by ‘Paradise Island’ itself. It was okay but not very idyllic. The boat trip was fabulous. We saw wild dolphins and our captain ensured that we stayed there long enough to see them quite a bit. The staff on the boat were so lovely - the instructions for the deep sea snorkelling were clear. If you needed any equipment it was provided at no extra cost. The deep sea snorkel was guided and the guide pulled a life ring in case anyone struggled (life jackets were also provided if required). The guide kept the group together and made sure no one was left behind. All in all I would definitely recommend the operator and the deep sea snorkel. I, personally, wouldn’t include paradise island in my trip.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much. We work for your happiness and comfort and we are waiting for you on another trip

From Hurghada: Paradise Island Full-Day Snorkeling Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does From Hurghada: Paradise Island Full-Day Snorkeling Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $42 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: Paradise Island Full-Day Snorkeling Tour take?
+
Plan for about 9 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: Paradise Island Full-Day Snorkeling Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 28 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: Paradise Island Full-Day Snorkeling Tour?
+
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: Paradise Island Full-Day Snorkeling Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Hurghada: Paradise Island Full-Day Snorkeling Tour?
+
Around 10 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Hurghada: Paradise Island Full-Day Snorkeling Tour 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.
