Snorkeling experience in Hurghada - 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.

Airport transfer and orange bay - 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.

Great day at Orange Bay - 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.

Had the most Amazing time!! - 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

Relaxing day to start the stay - 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.

A great boat trip and great value for money. - 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.
