Disappointing.....
A friend and I were holidaying in Hurghada in February for 1 week. We knew that Egypt was great for snorkling and we were both really keen to snorkle. We booked a trip with Sun International via the rep that visited our hotel. The trip was to Bianca Island offering, watersports, snorkling off the island and an additional snorkle stop off the boat. Unfortunately, the weather conditions were not great, there were very high winds (which I'm pretty sure would have been forecast). We did not know until we reached the island that the snorkling would be unlikely to go ahead. We never got to snorkle at all and could not do any of the watersports that were offered/advertised. I appreciate that weather is unpredictable but as a crew of a boat/ship they would likely have known that it would be too dangerous to do the activities (and we are grateful from the safety aspect). I think they should have postponed that day and offered us to go on another day. The main reason for choosing this excursion was the opportunity to snorkle. Other people from our hotel booked to go the following day (so this could probably have been offered) and they were able to do all the activities and had a great day. We thought the trip was really good value for the money £60 each for the day, boat trip to the Island of Bianaca (which is beautiful) lunch and drinks, snorkling in two places, watersports (donuts and banana boat). However, we didn't get the full experience and value for our payment. If you are thinking of booking a boat trip, I would definitley check the weather forecast and shop around for other providers. We logged our feedback/complaint with the Sun International rep who assured us that he had passed it onto the office but we have not heard any thing from them as of today. I would like them to at least offer a partial refund. It would have topped off a fab holiday. I will be trying to contact them directly....

Snorkeling
Felt a little misled by the booking Description mentioned private boat and thought for the price that’s what we were doing. Many people on the boat and seating not available for all. Food was not great. . Did see dolphins but unsuccessful in swimming near them. Do not recommend for inexperienced snorkelers. My family did love the snorkeling and the captain (Coco) was very helpful to my daughter that got tired while in the water.
Response from the operator: Vielen Dank für Ihre wunderbare Rückmeldung. Es freut mich sehr zu hören, dass der Ausflug so cool war und Sie viel erleben konnten – genau das möchte ich ermöglichen. Toll, dass Ihre Familie Spaß hatte, und dass Sie das Weiterempfehlen mitgegeben haben. Wenn Sie künftig spezielle Wünsche haben oder mehr Privatsphäre wünschen, lasse ich mich gerne darauf einstellen und passende Optionen vorschlagen. Sollten Sie eine Rückerstattung, eine Gutschrift oder eine weitere maßgeschneiderte Tour wünschen, melden Sie sich einfach. Es war mir eine Freude, Sie zu begleiten, und ich freue mich schon auf das nächste Mal mit Ihnen. – Ahmed S.

Fabulous day on the sea
We went as a family of 11 aged 8 to 72 and had a great day . Saw dolphins close up and loved the banana boat and flying sofa at the end of the trip. The crew were great and we wanted for nothing . Plenty of food and drink and fun . Even Grandad jumped into the inviting sea of the top of the boat so credit to him . From the pick up at our hotel at Makadi Bay at 7:40 to our return at around 16:00 we all loved every minute of this extensive and well priced day out . Thank you again to the crew who were brilliant
Response from the operator: Vielen Dank für Ihre wunderbare Rückmeldung. Es freut mich sehr zu hören, dass der Tag für Ihre Familie so reibungslos begann und Sie eine private Shopping-Tour durch den von Einheimischen bevorzugten Bereich genießen konnten. Toll, dass Parfüm, Kleidung und Wolle Ihren Einkaufswünschen entsprochen haben und dass die Pause mit Chai und Zuckerrohrsaft lecker war. Es bedeutet mir viel, dass Sie meine Deutschkenntnisse, meine Freundlichkeit, Ehrlichkeit und meinen Respekt zu schätzen wissen. Dass Sie das echte Hurghada abseits des Massentourismus erlebt haben, freut mich besonders. Ich freue mich schon jetzt auf Ihren nächsten Ausflug mit mir. – Ahmed S.

Swimming with dolphins
Amazing staff lots of information and they actually called the dolphins 🐬 and we actually swam with them in the wild and took lots of photos loved the snorkelling and being in the deep turquoise water. The food on board was delicious and made all the difference having fresh water hose to shower the salt water off. Lovely jubbly

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Snorkeling Day Trip in Hurghada: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does Snorkeling Day Trip in Hurghada cost?
+
Prices start at €31 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 Day Trip in 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 Hurghada is not rushed.
Is Snorkeling Day Trip in Hurghada worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 17 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 Day Trip in 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 Snorkeling Day Trip in 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 Snorkeling Day Trip in Hurghada?
+
Around 6 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 Day Trip in 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.
