Great Day at Orange Island!
Had a fantastic time on the Orange Island trip! The snorkeling was amazing — clear water and beautiful fish. Lunch on board was tasty and relaxing. The banana boat ride was so much fun and full of laughs. Everything was well organized and felt like a fun escape back in time. Highly recommended!

Amazing trip!
Very smooth trip — comfy van and good driver, friendly guides, and a fun group of people from everywhere. The food and drinks on board were really good. Orange Bay was beautiful, with super soft sand and cool lazy bags on the beach to relax in. Water sports were fun too, and our Little Caesars boat was the nicest one around. 3 levels on the boat, all accessible. Great day all around!

Great experience
Great van and driver, great guides, Barakuda group was nice, from all around the world, we had drinks, orange bay sand is so interesting , it's so small sand it's like clay further down in water. Water sports was nice, our Little Caesars boat was the best out of all boats we saw on the trip.

Very disappointing!!!
Although we did have an ok time we didn't get what we paid for. The trip was advertised as private and clearly states in the additional information that the tour/activity is for your group only however it wasn't, in fact it was very busy. Also the trip was meant to include 2 hours on Orangebisland and we only got 1 hour 30 which didn't feel anywhere near long enough. AND, the trip was meant to include Thriller boat ride or banana boat ride which didn't happen at all. This was very disappointing as we had teenagers with us that were looking forward to that bit the most. We booked this trip for Christmas Day to have an amazing time together as a family but unfortunately we were left disappointed and ripped off as we didn't get what we paid for. I did bring all this up with both Viator and the tour operators and didn't get anywhere other that a measly 10% refund. Not happy customers at all.

Expected more snorkel time and activities
3.5 stars rounded up. Orange Bay island looks like a deserted island that was turned into a perfect party place for large groups or families with young kids. The water is really shallow for several meters. No picnicking allowed here. All food and beverages must be purchased. Prices are definitely set for tourists. I’m not the type of person that does things for social media so I got kind of bored after an hour of exploring. I was pleasantly surprised to have a plate lunch where the crew served us 4 different dishes (including salad, pasta and some fresh fruit). It was very portion controlled so if you have a hungry appetite, I recommend bringing your own snacks. After that, we stopped at 2 locations to snorkel. I felt it was short and calculated a total of 6 hours, not 8, as described. So disappointed there was no “water sports super thriller boat” other than the boat we were on to transport us. I thought there’d be a speed boat or something. There was no other water sport except for snorkeling and there was no banana boat or inflatable sofa ride. I felt interrupted a lot during my snorkel time to take posed pics, which were for sale, with crew’s camera. I just wanted to enjoy snorkeling.

VIP Yacht Trip to Orange Bay Island with Snorkeling and Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does VIP Yacht Trip to Orange Bay Island with Snorkeling and Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $49 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 VIP Yacht Trip to Orange Bay Island with Snorkeling and Lunch 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 VIP Yacht Trip to Orange Bay Island with Snorkeling and Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 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 VIP Yacht Trip to Orange Bay Island with Snorkeling and 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 VIP Yacht Trip to Orange Bay Island with Snorkeling and Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book VIP Yacht Trip to Orange Bay Island with Snorkeling and Lunch?
+
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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does VIP Yacht Trip to Orange Bay Island with Snorkeling and 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: Luxor Valley of the Kings & Tutankhamun Tomb Trip, Orange Bay Island, Luxury Cruise to Orange Bay and Hula Hula island Trip. 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.
