    AMAZING! Only £25!

    It was amazing trip!! (ONLY £25 pp) They took us to banana and sofa-very safe. They took care of us! And snorkelling they (mustafa) kept making sure we were okay. Pointed out any fishes, (I also can’t swim very well but it felt safe ). Our tour guide was Muhammad and I booked with his wife Denise. Both were very easy to book with, made sure we were taken care of. PRICE ONLY £25!!!! Orange bay was great too! They also gave us 2 hours there, which was more than most. I would highly recommend booking with them. The team (every member on boat) are so friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed the trip!! Worth every penny!! BOOK: +447827630385

    Amazing

    We did a few trips with Denise & Mohammed they were absolutely fantastic and nothing at all was too much to ask. They was amazing with our young child and went above and beyond to make our experiences the best possible. Highly recommend booking any trips with these guys & will always cherish our memories from our trips in Egypt thanks to them!

    Snorkeling and Swimming at Orange Bay Island: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Snorkeling and Swimming at Orange Bay Island cost?

    +

    Prices start at $34 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 Snorkeling and Swimming at Orange Bay Island 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 Hurghada is not rushed.

    Is Snorkeling and Swimming at Orange Bay Island worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 20 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 Snorkeling and Swimming at Orange Bay Island?

    +

    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 Snorkeling and Swimming at Orange Bay Island 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 Snorkeling and Swimming at Orange Bay Island?

    +

    Around 7 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Snorkeling and Swimming at Orange Bay Island 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.

    What is included in Snorkeling and Swimming at Orange Bay Island?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Carbonated beverages; Bottled water; Lunch; and Use of snorkeling equipment. Not included: no towels provided; and extra fees of $5 for transport from makadi bay sahel hashish and safaga el gouna and soma. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Snorkeling and Swimming at Orange Bay Island include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 3 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 Snorkeling and Swimming at Orange Bay Island offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, Arabic, Russian, English, Italian, Polish, French, Romanian and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Snorkeling and Swimming at Orange Bay Island?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Snorkeling and Swimming at Orange Bay Island wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Snorkeling and Swimming at Orange Bay Island if the weather is bad?

    +
