Don’t bother
The orange island was ok , food was not worth the wait , scammed again on board the boat , the staff giving every one FREE beer telling us all to help ourselves and then billing us with extortionate prices , I wish there was just one trip or experience in Egypt where someone was trying to con me or rip me off , Egypt is a lovely place but I won’t be coming back again for that reason SCAMMERS

Amazing for first time snorklers, island is a bit meh
First time snorkeling I would recommend it for the ocean. It was an amazing experience and fees were all included. It was a long day but a day packed with a full itinerary. Lunch was served around 12pm and was potatos, rice, chicken and an assortment of vegetables. Choices for kids, might be a bit cold but still very tasty. Orange Bay fees included meaning you get your own area with your group on the Island, the island itself was a bit disappointing but the rest of the tour including our tour guide Kareem was extremely friendly and attended to us frequently addressing any enquiries and concerns we had.

Helpful staff, amazing boat, nice snorkeling
Tried booking throught Trip Advisor, but as the spaces were not available l went direct and they were able to accomodate me and my family nicely. Payment was easy and quick and i was assigned a guide and a boat with really friendly staff for the day Kareem was with us for the whole day. Health and safety is a very good here with loads of briefings and demonstrations and plans incase of emergencies and the boat is clean. Itinerary was structured and well done

Why this scores 89
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Orange Bay Giftun Island Snorkeling Cruise With Lunch – Hurghada: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Safaga.
How much does Orange Bay Giftun Island Snorkeling Cruise With Lunch – Hurghada cost?
+
Prices start at $3 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Safaga usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Orange Bay Giftun Island Snorkeling Cruise With Lunch – Hurghada take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Safaga is not rushed.
Is Orange Bay Giftun Island Snorkeling Cruise With Lunch – Hurghada worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 138 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Safaga, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Orange Bay Giftun Island Snorkeling Cruise With Lunch – Hurghada?
+
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 Orange Bay Giftun Island Snorkeling Cruise With Lunch – Hurghada suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Orange Bay Giftun Island Snorkeling Cruise With Lunch – Hurghada?
+
Around 48 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 Safaga 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 Safaga and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Orange Bay Giftun Island Snorkeling Cruise With Lunch – Hurghada 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 Safaga 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 Safaga?
+
On Outty we rank every Safaga experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Horse Riding & Camel Beach,Desert, Swim,Sunrise & Sunset-Hurghada, Dolphin House Full Day Snorkeling Cruise With Lunch – Hurghada, Full day trip to Luxor with littel Group & Tutankhamun Tomb. 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 Safaga?
+
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 Safaga?
+
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.
