Excursies Egypte
On this full-day excursion from Hurghada, you can start off by working on your tan on the powdery white sand beach and continue by snorkeling along the spectacular reef as you marvel at the variety of colorful fish. Enjoy a short boat ride to the private white sand beach on Paradise Island. Relax in the shade, sunbathe, swim, snorkel, or just sip a cool drink at the beach bar.

Not collected and messed around... do not recommend
We didn't end up doing the experience as we were not collected. Night before travel I tried multiple attempts to contact the company. Then got WhatsApp messages very late evening explaining they had no space on the boat. I booked this month's ago and they had been paid. Tried to charge me £15pp extra to upgrade to a later VIP 10:30am boat. Said I wouldn't pay extra wasn't my fault. They then said they'd upgrade for free. I said ok. Then they said they had made space for us on original excursion at 8am. Annoying but said ok. Next day we waited from 7:45am to 8:35am. No one came for us. Tried to contact the WhatsApp number. No response. Security Tried calling. We got fed up and returned to our room and began refund request. Then the guy contacted trying to upgrade us again. Kids really didn't want to go anymore as they didn't want to sit about waiting and I was fuming so knew it was pointless trying again. Had been messed about so much. Viator did a great job of processing the refund swiftly after reading chat screenshots. We've rebooked the Snorkeling at Hurghada dolphin house which is run by a very well communicated, efficient and friendly team.

Great for a break on a sandy island, turquoise sea
Privatization of a boat organized by #enviedegypte. We were 5 participants for 5 crew members. Extraordinary trip from Hurghada whose purpose was to practice snorkeling on spots not frequented by other boats. The crew was at the top and offered unlimited hot/cold drinks, fresh fruit, pastries,... We made a small stop (break) for lunch on "Paradise Isle" Arrived on the place said, a boat came to pick us up at the boat to take us to the island "paradise" but too busy. We were lucky to have rented this boat privately to be super well taken care of with everything included: Fast boarding and disembarkation, unlimited buffet on Paradise Isle, glitter on the beach, ... Simple buffet but very good and nice (BBQ chickens, salads, rice, bread, fruit, unlimited drinks) on the site. We took a lunch break on PARADISE ISLE, time to eat, splash around a bit, take some pictures. We swam in clear and transparent water....amazing with this pollution. Regrettably the boats moored so close to the island (pollution) and that on the island there is an apparent landfill with their garbage cans (end of beach but closed to the public). The owners of the site could hide this dump by bamboo or glitter After our break, we went back to sea to go snorkeling There are several paradise-style islands that are usually the purpose of sea trips, where people stay 3-4 hours before heading back to sea to return to their hotels. To do once, to see ...

The highlight was the quality...
<p>The highlight was the quality snorkelling and the boat trip itself. The island is a place to relax but nothing to explore. The 7.30am start was unnecessary as we had to wait at the quayside for 1hour and 40 minutes before other passengers arrived. The company used were extremely helpful although there were constant interruptions of your day for photos to be bought at a later date. Out taxi driver was excellent!</p>
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your great review and feedback after your amazing One day trip to Paradise island excursion from Hurghada. We are so happy that you had a great experience with us .❤️ Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're thrilled that you enjoyed the snorkeling and the boat trip. We understand your concern regarding the early start and the wait at the quayside, and we’ll look into improving the timing of our departures. We also appreciate your feedback on the photo interruptions and will work on minimizing these distractions for a smoother experience. We're glad to hear that our taxi driver provided excellent service. Thank you for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon. Best regards, Rana

Paradise island excursion from Hurghada: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does Paradise island excursion from Hurghada cost?
+
Prices start at €36 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 Paradise island excursion from Hurghada 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 Paradise island excursion from Hurghada worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.3/5 across 3 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 Paradise island excursion from 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 Paradise island excursion from Hurghada 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 Paradise island excursion from Hurghada?
+
Around 1 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 Paradise island excursion from 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 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.
