Orange bay
We had an amazing experience on the Orange Bay boat trip in Hurghada and would definitely recommend it. From the start, the transport was well organised, and the representative explained everything we needed to know before the trip. The boat crew and tour guides were incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout the day. One of the highlights for me was the snorkelling. I can’t swim, so I was quite nervous at first, but the guides were so patient and reassuring that they convinced me to give it a try. I’m very glad they did because it ended up being one of the best parts of the trip. They were extremely careful and made me feel safe the entire time. The food served on the boat was also good. For the price of the excursion, you can’t expect a Michelin-star meal, but there was a good selection and everything was enjoyable. Our stop at Orange Bay was beautiful, although the 1 hour 30 minutes there went by very quickly. The photographer on the trip took some amazing pictures of us, which we later purchased and were very happy with. One thing to be aware of is that Orange Bay can get very crowded. I actually lost my sandals while I was there and had to walk back barefoot! My hat also blew into the sea, but one of the tour guides kindly jumped in and retrieved it for me, which I really appreciated. My biggest piece of advice would be to bring your own snacks, water, and cash. Food and drinks at Orange Bay are quite expensive, which is understandable as it’s a tourist destination. Also, many places do not accept card payments, so having cash with you is essential. Overall, we had a fantastic day. The staff, snorkelling experience, beautiful scenery, and great atmosphere made it a memorable trip, and I would happily do it again.
