Cruise from Hurghada to Orange Bay for coral-reef snorkeling, lunch, water sports, and a beach day at a remarkably low price.
“Despite experiencing a shaky start to the trip due to anxiety from an overly animated taxi driver and a few close calls on the road, I ended up having an amazing experience. Navigating through boats was a bit challenging for me, especially with my balance issues and the heightened anxiety from the ride. However, once I managed to get past that hurdle, everything turned out to be truly wonderful. The trip itself and the tour guides were fantastic, and visiting Orange Bay was a highlight of the journey. Just a word of advice: it's a good idea to have a watch or phone handy for keeping track of time, as…”

The guide made the trip amazing, he was friendly and helpful. He knew loads of interesting stuff and the museum was really good as a result. Lunch was delicious, buffet style and lots of choice even for my picky 13 year old. The pyramids themselves were incredible. We took the extras of camel ride and boat trip. The boat was great, I didn't love the camel! We did stop at the papyrus place and perfume place. Not for me…”

Snorkel Ras Mohamed, visit White Island, enjoy lunch aboard a yacht, and compare the excellent marine life with the tour’s crowds and limited water time.
“The location and the coral reefs are stunning but the organization of the tour is poor. The activity is 6-7 hours long but in reality you won't snorkel for more than 30/40 minutes in total. It's true that it takes some time to reach the snorkelling spots by boat (but that it's an enjoyable time). The problem is all the time wasted here and there waiting because nothing is properly organized.”
