We had an amazing snorkeling experience! The staff was incredibly friendly, funny, and made the whole trip so enjoyable. The atmosphere was fun, and we got to see so many beautiful fish and corals. We couldn’t have asked for a better day – highly recommended!
Full-day boat trip with island stay, lunch, snorkelling and water sports. Great time spent, very good organisation, transfer to the hotel door, great ship's crew, sunny beach, crystal clear water and cool reefs.
Our trip to Orange Bay in Hurghada was truly unforgettable! From the very beginning, the experience was seamless. The agent was incredibly helpful and informative—giving us all the details, staying in touch throughout the day, and answering every question we had. We were picked up right on time, and everything was perfectly organized. We spent the day on the boat Kee, which was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The crew was outstanding. Captain Mustafa made us feel safe and welcome, and our diver Mohammed guided us through two breathtaking snorkelling stops. The water was crystal clear and full of colorful marine life—an absolute highlight of the trip! The crew was also fantastic with the children, ensuring they were safe, entertained, and included in the fun. Lunch was also provided on board and it was delicious! We wrapped up the day with an exciting banana boat ride and a sofa ride that exceeded expectations. We were also lucky to have two talented photographers on board—Tariq and another Mohammed—who took incredible photos throughout the day. Thanks to them, we now have beautiful memories captured from every moment of the trip. This was easily one of the best experiences we had in Hurghada. If you're visiting, don’t miss this tour—it's professional, fun, and filled with moments you’ll never forget. Huge thanks to the entire team of Kee!
She was a perfect day, an amazing team on the boat, very good boat, food, ambiance an activities. Best spot for snorkling. Thanks to the compagny for this beautiful day all my familys enjoy it !
Orange bay island trip was fabulous. All staff members were superb. Right from the pick up at hotel on time, excursion & drop off was smooth & seamless. I highly recommend this tour by Book Tour Egypt. They are the best.
This trip was great. For this price you can expect a full day of activities. With other providers you sometimes pay more than double. Very nice crew. We really can recommend this trip.
Amazing staff and trip! and honestly decent prices for touristic activities in hurghada. And the place is Just like Maldives!
A great boat trip and good value for money. The travel to the marina in Hurghada was a bit bit long but didn’t impact on a great day. Staff on the boat were fab and we did some great snorkelling. The island was beautiful, worth going to visit.
I did the trip on 19/06/24. I had an amazinggg time on this trip. Everything was great on the day from the pick up transport to drop off. The trip organisers were entertaining and made everyone feel safe whilst snorkelling. I can swim but have never swam in sea or very deep waters or snorkelled before, so was slightly anxious but felt very safe once in the water as the guides were close by. Water activities were all fun. Giftun island is beautiful. This was a solo trip for me and met some other amazing people whilst on this trip. Would definitely do this trip again. Thank you
Amazing tour. We saw dolphins on the way to the island. Beautiful beach. Make sure you bring everything with you because the guy from the epicery shop will steal (reap you off) from you.
The boat trip was very good. We were helped during snorkeling due to sea conditions, which made us feel very safe. Lunch was nice hot food, including chicken and potatoes.Salad was provided too. The Island was nice but very commercialised and exspence. But so what you're on holiday.
Lovely staff would be better with more time on island but all round good trip Would do it again happily
What a fabulous day this was! Ali, Boody, and the team were absolutely brilliant, so friendly and welcoming, I can’t speak highly enough of them. The reefs are breathtaking, and the team make it feel very safe and secure so you can enjoy swimming in open water. Lunch is beautifully fresh food, and lots of choice. Orange Bay is a stunning ‘influencer’ hub, but a nice place to enjoy the water and sunbathe or have a drink. All in all, it’s unbelievable value for money!
Fantastic, great value for money. Whole day out with pick up and drop off aswell as lunch. Also the water activities included if you want to take part. Surprised how much was on offer for the price. Would defiantly book again on next visit. Good experience.
Had a fantastic time. The view was great. The weather was fantastic. The tour operator was fabulous arranged everything as in description had lunch on the boat. The boat stuff was absolutely great. One thing to recommend is take your towels with you and swimwear if you’re going to do snorkelling
Team was very friendly, good snorkelling spots, nice atmosphere, good organisation, good food and overall a very nice day together with my family
We booked the trip to Orange bay through the travel agency. Good price 40 eur/ adult and 25 eur/ child. We had included - lunch ( tasty and variate) on the boat, beverager (cofee, water, coca cola and limonade) snorkeling and diving instructors, transfers from the boat an Orange bay and transfer from the hotel at the Marina Bay. Our day was very windy and till 12 o’clock was cold. Indeed we are going in the trip in short pants and t-shirt and a sost hoodie. It’s not enought. The degrees was around 19-20, in the morning. The Orange Bay experience was amazing. The beach is arranged in a luxurios way. Food, drinks, everything you want. The beach is protected, a natural reservation. It’s a must in Hurgada.
Very nice tour and high quality/price ratio.. awesome island’s beach and amazing sea water .. good boat and schedule .. only thing , the transfer Soma Bay -Hurgada is extra on top of the Trip Advisor reservation rate (+10€/pers) , even though the pick up point is clearly chosen on the form .. other than that, my rating would be 5/5 … Dani&Marta
The company behind this tour seems to be Book Tour Egypt. I enjoyed the tour, i was on the boat with Mustafa, Bakkar and the photographer Bisou. Positives: pick up and drop off were perfect, after i booked the company contacted me over whatsapp, i was picked up exactly at the agreed time. They provided free water on the boat. Lunch was delicious. The team tried to engage the group and tried to be funny, but it was not annoying like on some of these kind of tours. First stop of the trip is Orange bay, you can spend time there 90min. Some people dont like orange bay because the water is shallow and you cant really swim, probably the beach of your hotel is better. Lots of tourists there and high prices. I thought it was fine, we had an area there reserved for is with pillows in the shade, i loved that. After that, they take you to 2 snorkeling spots, which was fun. I have to admit that it was really well organized, save and thought through. At the end they also offered a banana boat ride. Another positive thing was that the boat wasnt too crowded, everyboy had a sitting spot in deck of the boat in the shade. On my tour there were Russian, Romanian, Italian and French tourists, many families.
BEST PRICES, BEST SERVICE, THANKS FOR ALL. Einfacher whatsapp Kontakt, die Preise sind viel günstiger als in den hotels für die selbe Leistung.
Lovely day ❤️ Good lunch even for vegetarians like my self. The snorkeling was fascinating and very beautiful.
Amazing trip. Highly recommend it as everything was really perfect, starting from the pick up ( bus arrived on time and was in a very good condition) then the people responsible for the trip on the boat were beyond friendly and helpful. I have with me 4 children and they were really happy and felt so safe because of the crew. A big thank you for the crew
Very professional. Picked up on time, friendly staff on boat, very enjoyable day. We had to change dates of trip twice whilst in Egypt due to illness and the company was able to facilitate this which was very good of them. Would highly recommend this company and would definitely use again.
Great day with lots of fun activities for people of any age. We were looked after by our entertainers well.
it was incredible !!!!! The crew was super professional and friendly, kind and pleasant. We enjoyed everything about our day, from the welcome, the diving, the meal, and the beach!. It was great, we would have wanted to do it again the very next day. Be careful, in the booking offer the entrance to Orange Bay was extra, €10/person. So €25, but it is well worth it as the services and the quality are there. The captain and his crew are adorable.
It was very nice. Really. A very nice experience. Nice people - from the pickup, to the boat trip, the food - and also the return trip. Everything was very good! We have already recommended you to other hotel guests as well. And to friends who will also be traveling to Egypt. And on our next vacation in Egypt, we would very, very much like to come back to you. Thanks again for everything! And keep it up! You are doing a really good job and have very, very fair prices.
We did not perform the activity. We paid and upon arriving on the boat we were asked for 37 euros more. We had agreed that there were customs fees amounting to 9 euros per person. We were asked to pay to access the dolphin tour and buoy. Why not include everything in the price? To this day I do not know if I will be refunded. Activity to do but not with TripAdvisor. Shameful
Great hotel. We will always come back!
Beautiful experience. Clean boat and very kind staff. It was my first time snorkeling and the staff were very clear in their explanations. They helped me initially until I was confident enough to swim alone. The lunch buffet was complete, varied. There was both meat and fish, pasta, rice, salads of various kinds. Drinks are also included as per description. The program was kept, about 8-17, with the addition of the return to the hotel. On time, at 5.20 pm I got back. We made 2 stops for snorkeling, then stopped in Orange Bay for 2 hours. The company contacted me the day before for hotel pickup and on the morning of the trip they were constantly present via message to make sure everything was fine. Even during the trip they were always available. Photographers are also among the staff, so if you are interested you can take photos/videos both in the water and on the island.
It is definitely worth booking this tour, on the way to the island we made 2 stops to snorkel, after that we had a delicious lunch on the boat. Our stay on the island orange bay is 1.30 hours. The island is very nice there are many choices of fruits, drinks, ice cream and cocktails. There are also many nice ways to take photos.
Excellent!!! Very friendly and cheerful people. Super good!!! And I consider at a good price for the Service provided!!
I enjoyed the boat but on the island a little less the snorkeling was great and the lunch excellent as a boat maybe a little small but I liked it
We booked several excursions with book tour Egypt ( island of hula hula, Marsa Alam for turtles and Luxor ) and it was top at each time, for island of hula hula the boat crew set the Mood and was super cool, the Luxor the people who drove our van as well as the guide who made us visit was great, but our big heart cost was the person who took us to Marsa Alam it was so nice and there for us all day. I recommend them to you 100% always on time and no waiting, I contacted them on WhatsApp and it responded very quickly to my request, it is possible to pay in Egyptian pounds or euro. Thank you a book tour Egypt we came back with beautiful images in mind
I booked an excursion with Book Tour Egypt and everything went well. I highly recommend this travel agency.
Everything is great! Picked up from the resort on time we arrived at the port of Marina and boarded a beautiful boat. (Little Caesar). Captain Tarek and his crew accompanied us to beautiful places and were really nice and professional. Wonderful day ended with banana and water sofa... cool!!!! Highly recommended
Extraordinary experience and once again very special attention from Book tour Egypt who takes care of your transport and well being from start to finish. The two snokeling stops will make your eyes full, the impression of being in a giant aquarium. Crew members are very attentive to the safety of each individual. The island is paradise, with a turquoise sea. The only downside is the world you can find on the island, but you have to understand that you all want to be there...
Great organization, friendly and knowledgeable staff trying to make you enjoy. Activity done in pairs, recommended! Great lunch on the boat, fun on the boat and wonderful places
Snorkeling super We were picked up at the hotel and taken to the port where we took a nice boat with places also lying in the bow. The staff is attentive to needs, helps to need. We did some water sports and then 2 very pleasant snorkeling stops. Egyptian lunch varied and plentiful, soft drinks always present. Stay on the island of about 2.30 hours. Very recommended
Anytime again. Great value for money. Great atmosphere, great team and support. Modern boat and delicious food. Thanks to everyone!
Do you know what "fantastic" means? It's the perfect summary of this experience. Pickup at the agreed time and transfer to a small docking point. We boarded a two-story boat, ready to head to Orange Bay. Once docked, we spent time on the island, swimming and relaxing on the beach. After just under two hours, we returned to the boat to have lunch. After lunch, we reached the first of two snorkeling spots. Here, everyone was provided with masks, snorkels, fins, and life jackets (highly recommended so you don’t have to focus on swimming, just on moving around). At this point, the groups took turns following the guide. The staff was incredibly helpful and ready to assist with any issues. Next, we moved to a second snorkeling spot before heading back to the beach and being transported back to the bus. Note: the banana boat ride was originally planned, but it was canceled due to bad condition of the sea. Our compliments to the whole staff—young, attentive, and engaging! You know what great means? It is the summary of this experience. Pick up at the pick up point at the agreed time and transport to a small docking point. Get on a 2-decker boat ready to go to Orange Bay. Once docked we spent time on the island, swimming and using the "deck chairs" for free. After 2 scarce hours we left for lunch on the boat. Once we had lunch we arrived at the first of 2 snorkeling points. Here we were given everyone masks, snorkel, fins and vests (super recommended so you don't have to think about swimming but just moving). At this point group tours were made following the guide. Staff super helpful and ready for any problem. Then followed a second "snorkeling point" and then return to the beach and be put back on the bus. NB: the banana boat was also planned but due to rough seas it was preferred not to do it. Congratulations to all the super young and attentive and engaging staff.
It's a great tour. Tour guide boat food transfer great. Things to do, snorkeling and island stay perfect Absolutely recommended
Very well organized! On time transport for pick-up, two pretty spots snorkelling quite a lot of fish and corals to see, island rather not bad but nothing extraordinary 2 hours on site more than enough I recommend 100%!
Les personnes qui s’occupent de vous, du driver ( adorable) au personnel du bateau ! Dommage que les activités ne durent pas assez longtemps !
We did the excursion with them already before we had perfect Airport Pension transfer on time and back the same. We are satisfied with the services offered by this agency and return to the excursion made to Orange Bay Award Value for money everything is well indicated and followed by WhatsApp to the smooth running of the outing since the collection at the Pension on return it went as indicated on their program so on return to Egypt I would appeal to this agency without hesitation to highly recommend.
Welcomed by a great team, in my opinion this excursion is ideal to start a stay. The only downside was that my mother was photographed in the water, but no commercial arrangements were made with us for the photos. Also, you have to be vigilant: a small street vendor sells canned drinks at an additional cost. The boat team will provide you with bottled water and sodas served by the glass. Following various recommendations, we did not go to Orange Bay, but to Paradise, without any regrets. We did snorkeling, tubing towed by a zodiac, and we fed the seagulls. We had a great day.
On a passé une très bonne journée à l’île de Guftun, je recommande cette excursion qui n’est pas cher et très agréable
Hermosa experiencia. Tripulacion amable. Isla paradisíaca. Snorkel aceptable aunque podrían brindar l mascaras mas modernas. Y la espera para la recogida por el hotel fue un poco larga. Igualmente fue un momento inolvidable.
Une équipe au top, une ambiance festive et divertissante. Un paysage magnifique, la nourriture était bonne. Tous s'est déroulé magnifiquement, un grand merci à l'équipage pour cette journée inoubliable
Toute une journée inoubliable! Des vues paradisiaques, gentils personnels , bateau propre, des moments magnifiques.
