Day out with the Alesta Crew
It was an amazing experience with the Alesta crew from the organisation of the activities at Orange bay, snorkelling and swimming. They ensured everyone was taken care of and safe. The food, drinks and fruit service was impressive. It was a beautiful experience and I will recommend anytime.

Best crew ever!
Been on lots of boat trips and eventhough it was really cold the crew made up for it in their energy. Had an amazing photoshoot at hula beach and he made me feel beautiful. Food was yummy, First meal i have really loved and even went back for more.

Such an amazing day & staff so kind & helpful too. We saw Orange Bay/Giftun Island, met a dolphin pod & had a wonderful boat tour. We also had snorkelling off the boat which was incredible.. Amazing fishies & wildlife 🐠🐬🪼
Thanks to all the staff onboard, for bringing me food & making sure we were all okay through the day.

Bella Vista Resort Hotel in Hurghada
Nice hotel. Our second stay in this one.
Pros:
Close to the airport (15 minutes), small man-sized hotel with its private beach in front and a beautiful swimming pool. Beautiful view from the rooms with sea view. Good food. Small price for flights, transfers and stay in "all inclusive" formula. Beautiful excursions are offered for those who want to visit Cairo, the Pyramids and the new museum, or Luxor.
The "minus" are more details:
Like many hotels on this coast, it faces north (you have to turn back to the sea on the beach to face the sun), and there are flies that annoy. Half of the beach beds are stoned (sunken canvas) and should be replaced. It's a bit of bed hunting in good condition when you get to the beach! The basis of the dishes is always: chicken, grilled fish and well-cooked beef, cooked in different ways to vary the menu, but after a week of eating the same thing lunch and evening, you get a little tired. But it's well cooked.
The animation is weak in quality and the music sometimes too loud, while we come to rest. But it's over!

Much better than expected
It was a nice experience. We had two chances of swiming close to the dolphins, they were fast but at leats wr could see them really close. Afterwards we went twice snorkling around some astonishing coral reefs. Really great day.

Good experience and...
Good experience and keenly priced. Boat trip to island, 2 hours on island, then lunch on board, followed by two snorkelling stops. Boat personnel very good and helpful. However, transfer from hotel to port took too long... almost 2hrs for me in a minibus as I was the first stop. Problem was people not turning up which meant minibus driver waited, which acted like a domino effect for remaining passengers, eg he was an hour late for last pick-up. Also, clients need to be told that the island stop is cash only, and that an extra €15 is added to the trip for transfer and island (which is a nature reserve)

A 5-Star Trip: Patient, Encouraging, and Perfect for Non-Swimmers!
This was one of the highlights of our trip to Egypt. The entire day was extremely well organized. The boat was very comfortable, the lunch and drinks were excellent, and the staff were attentive throughout the trip and constantly checked to make sure everyone was comfortable.
We spent about 1.5 hours at Orange Bay and the place is absolutely beautiful — clear water, soft sand, and a very relaxing atmosphere.
However, for me the true highlight of the trip was the snorkeling. I cannot swim and I am actually quite afraid of deep water. I was very unsure whether I would even be able to try snorkeling. The instructors on the boat were extraordinary. With incredible patience they literally held my hand in the water and helped me slowly overcome my fear. They stayed beside me the entire time and constantly reassured and encouraged me.
Thanks entirely to their support, I was able to admire the stunning coral reefs and colorful fish of the Red Sea. It was an unforgettable experience. By the end I felt so comfortable in the water that I actually did not want to get out!
Without their kindness, patience, and professionalism I would probably have given up within two minutes. Instead, they made it possible for me to enjoy something I had never imagined I could do.
I highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Hurghada — especially if you are a beginner or even a little nervous about snorkeling. The team truly goes above and beyond to make sure everyone has a great experience.
