An Absolutely Unforgettable Day on the Red Sea
The Orange Bay Snorkeling tour by Glamour Tours Egypt was one of the best experiences I've had on the Red Sea. From the moment we were picked up at the hotel, everything ran smoothly and on time. The boat was comfortable and well-equipped, and the crew was warm, professional, and genuinely attentive throughout the entire trip. The snorkeling stops were spectacular — the coral reefs at Giftun Island National Park are teeming with vibrant marine life, and the crystal-clear water made every moment feel like swimming inside an aquarium. The beach at Orange Bay lived up to its reputation: white sand, turquoise water, and a peaceful atmosphere perfect for relaxing between activities. Lunch on board was fresh and delicious — a wonderful touch that made the day feel complete. The organization from start to finish was flawless, and the group size was kept small enough to ensure a personal experience. Whether you're visiting with family, friends, or as a couple, this trip is an absolute must when in Hurghada. Highly recommended!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your great feedback We’re glad you enjoyed the Orange Bay snorkeling tour, including the smooth organization, friendly crew, beautiful snorkeling spots at Giftun Island, and relaxing time at Orange Bay. Your review will be shared with the team. We hope to see you again soon for another trip in Hurghada

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Orange Bay Snorkeling with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does Orange Bay Snorkeling with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at €13 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 Snorkeling 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 Orange Bay Snorkeling with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 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 Snorkeling 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 Orange Bay Snorkeling 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 Orange Bay Snorkeling with Lunch?
+
Around 4 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 Snorkeling 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 Diving Adventure one Day with two Dives Boat Trip, Hurghada to Cairo: Pyramids & Museum for First-Time Visitors, Hurghada Scuba Diving Full Day Boat Trip With Lunch & Transfer. 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.

+
Included: Bottled water; Lunch; Snorkeling Equipment; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Transfer from Sahl Hasheesh; Transfer from Makadi or El Gouna; and Government fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Orange Bay Snorkeling with Lunch include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 30 listed pickup locations in and around Hurghada. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Orange Bay Snorkeling with Lunch offered in?
+
It is offered in German, Arabic, Russian and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
