Amazing family fun

Amazing day out. Family friendly Staff were so accomodating. We wanted to do two islands in one day so chose orange bay and magawish island. Orange bay was very picturesque and magawish was amazing for snorkeling and my son said it was the best day ever!

100% would recommend booking with them

Ahmed and captain wassim were super friendly and very supportive. I did not know how to swim and they still encouraged me to participate. I would 100% recommend booking with them. They also provided us a lunch box that came in handy after swimming.

Very pleasant tour

Very nice trip done to the islands with a speedboat. Ahmed and Abdul are 2 top guys. 20 minutes after departure we already saw a family of dolphins, since you are in a smaller boat they can sail fairly close. At first I was still hesitating to go in the water to snorkel as it was already a bit colder but Ahmed persuaded me anyway and I don't regret it. The snorkeling spot we went to was full of coral and fish.

Cowboys!!

Disaster, an absolute disaster!! Once booked tried contacting tour operator for days without luck. Day of the tour was waiting for an hour outside while trying to contact both, Viator and Tour operator, but noone answered or did not get anything resolved. An hour later been told that there was systems fault as wasnt showing my booking on the system, but payment went out as smooth as it gets 😁 Talking with tour operator later, seem like an absolute clown!! Never will i ever book with them!!! Go shalabi are an absolute cowboys!!!!

Hurghada Giftun Island Speedboat Cruise To Orange bay: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.

How much does Hurghada Giftun Island Speedboat Cruise To Orange bay cost?

+

Prices start at $185 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 Hurghada Giftun Island Speedboat Cruise To Orange bay take?

+

Plan for about 5 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 Hurghada Giftun Island Speedboat Cruise To Orange bay worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 13 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 Hurghada Giftun Island Speedboat Cruise To Orange bay?

+

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 Hurghada Giftun Island Speedboat Cruise To Orange bay suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 5-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Hurghada Giftun Island Speedboat Cruise To Orange bay?

+

Around 5 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Hurghada Giftun Island Speedboat Cruise To Orange bay 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.
