Amazing snorkling / Dolphin Boat trip experience
We had a fantastic day as a fsnily of 4 on a private snorkling boat trip. Our tour guide and driver of the boat was both ever so welcoming. They served lovely refreshments snacks and drinks. We were so lucky to see the beautiful dolphins and we stopped so close to them to watch and take photos. We then went to orange bay which was absolutely beautiful and we had dinner which was arranged by the lovely Mohammed , set in a beautiful private restaurant area. We then went snorkelling which was fantastic. Witnessed some beautiful fish and coral. We stopped off to watch the sunset and were lucky to get the chance to drive the speed boat. Overall this company I could not of done better they pulled out all the stops to make our trip amazing. I highly recommend this company.
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your glowing recommendation! It was a true pleasure for us to organize this private boat trip for your family of four. I am personally delighted to hear that you enjoyed the private dinner arrangement—it was my pleasure to ensure you had a special and quiet space to relax and enjoy your meal. We are also thrilled that you were "lucky" enough to have such a close encounter with the dolphins; those are the moments that make the Red Sea so special! Our team always tries to go the extra mile, whether it’s finding the best snorkeling spots for the fish and coral or letting you experience the thrill of the speedboat at sunset. Hearing that we "pulled out all the stops" for your family is the greatest compliment we could receive. Thank you for choosing More Egypt Tours. We look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable day on the water! Warm regards, Mohamed and the More Egypt Tours Team

A Perfect Day at Sea
We had an absolutely amazing time on our snorkelling excursion in Egypt today – truly one of the highlights of our trip! From start to finish, the whole experience was seamless and full of good vibes. Communication with the organiser, Mo, was spot on (even though I contacted him last minute!) – he was friendly, clear, and super helpful via WhatsApp. Our driver, Mohammed (Fox), was a joy to ride with – great conversation and even better music! We all ended up singing along, which made the journey fly by. Our guide for the day, Eslam, looked after us so well from beginning to end. He made sure we felt safe, comfortable, and relaxed, and even gave us brilliant advice for the rest of our travels around Egypt. Orange Bay was stunning – busy, yes, but it still felt relaxed and not too crowded. The snorkelling was fantastic – vibrant coral and loads of marine life. And to top it all off, we were lucky enough to spot dolphins and a dugong from the boat – such a special moment! We felt totally safe, well cared for, and genuinely welcomed throughout. Huge thanks to the whole team – we’ll definitely be recommending this to anyone heading to Egypt!
Response from the operator: That our pleasure, and Thank you for taking the time to give us with your thoughts and opinions. We're glad to hear you had a pleasant time with us and we look forward to your return.

Unforgettable Day!
My family and I travelled to Egypt for the first time to celebrate milestone birthdays. With Mo’s help, this activity was the highlight of our trip! Once we got to the boat Mo welcomed us and let us know how the day would run which was clear and helpful. Once we arrived at Orange Bay Island Mo let us know all the best picture spots and helped us get all the photos we wanted so we captured all memories. After the island trip and we headed back onto the boat for lunch which was a buffet with multiple choices. We took park in the activities and we all tried something new with Mo’s encouragement! Booking with More Egypt Tours was a decision we do not regret and we recommend all book with Mo for an unforgettable experience.
Response from the operator: First of all I would like to thank u alot for your kindness and your beautiful words about our little company more egypt tours, so it's was our pleasure to assisted you during your holiday in redsea and we already looking forward to your return next thank u all lots from our hearts to you all

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Orange Bay Island "Maldives of Egypt" Snorkeling&Water Activities: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does Orange Bay Island "Maldives of Egypt" Snorkeling&Water Activities 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 Orange Bay Island "Maldives of Egypt" Snorkeling&Water Activities 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 Orange Bay Island "Maldives of Egypt" Snorkeling&Water Activities worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 37 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 Orange Bay Island "Maldives of Egypt" Snorkeling&Water Activities?
+
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 Island "Maldives of Egypt" Snorkeling&Water Activities 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 Orange Bay Island "Maldives of Egypt" Snorkeling&Water Activities?
+
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 Orange Bay Island "Maldives of Egypt" Snorkeling&Water Activities 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 Diving Adventure one Day with two Dives Boat Trip, Hurghada to Cairo: Pyramids & Museum for First-Time Visitors, Scuba Diving Full Day Boat Trip W/Lunch & Transfer from Hurghada. 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.
