- 951JohnD9510 contributionsA positive end resultThe Quad adventure itself was great but the pick up at our hotel was terrible. I received an email changing our pickup from 10:00 to 9:00. Waited in the lobby until 9:45. Hotel could not get a phone call answered. Later the hotel in formed the pickup was changed to 10:00. Waited until 10:45 and no pickup.

Boat and snorkeling trip to Orange Bay. We had 2 snorkeling stops . At least 10 boats in the same location with 30 people per boat. Far to many in the area. Then we were headed of to orange Ireland. We were herded off the boat to what could only be described as a holding pen. Dirty bean bags in a small area. Each boat had their own Isle. There were at least 30 boats an hour and fortunately you only got to spend an hour on the island. This is not a suitable trip for disabled travellers. There is nothing to see on the island. Don't waste your money on this excursion. The facilities on the island are also very expensive. £8 for a beer of £20 for a pizza.

Thank you for your review, which is not directed to our company business, but to the place itself. Orange Bay is favourite place to many returning customer. The others recommend the Paradise Island, which we can offer as well. May you find the tranquility of Red Sea holidays next time there...?

The only positive point of this excursion is the color of the water, a magnificent shade of blue.
The negative points :
- the stops for snorkeling are a real tourist factory, the boats are lined up and you have to follow the boat staff to swim.... the seabed is very poor in fish for the 2 stops that we made. We had a coral reef outside our hotel that had a lot more fish
_ Orange Bay what can I say.... you are parked in rows of beach mattresses, 2 rows per boat
- The coke is 4 euros, the small bottle of water is 3 euros and the fruit cocktail is 18 euros

Hello and thank you for finding the time to review the Orange Bay tour. The place is undoubtly beautiful and attracts many visitors on boats, every boat has capacity with maximum of 30 people onboard. High prices on the island are expected as on every place located in the middle of the water, so we offer everything for customers on the boat - soft drinks and meal, included in tour price. Despite your experience we hope you enjoyed the beauty of nature and the cruise itself.

Amazing place, read before like Maldives of Egypt and very true, clear blue water and amazing surroundings.
Very pricy on island and cash only, don't take card. 3euro for 1 scoop off ice cream and 8euro for a beer but worth it for views and beach.

Orange bay/ giftun island (paradise island is also on giftun island) is an amazing place, an absolute must if visiting hurghada/ Egypt. White sand, blue crystal clear ocean. It gets very hot on the island, we were using factor 20 at the hotel, but needed 30 on orange bay. A few spots to take good picture such as the swings, the hammocks, and the tables. Very good for instagram pictures, as they do make a good shot, especially if visiting with your partner/ spouse....
Side note/ minor con, make sure you take mosquito bands and insect spray/ repellent as they can get a bit much...
All in all thought, I would recommend Orange bay to anyone visiting Egypt and would 100% visit again.

I've just returned from a amazing holiday in Egypt & I did a couple of the excursions one of them being Orange Bay.
It was absolutely gorgeous!!! Like paradise 😍 The sand was beautiful & the water was crystal clear.
You could literally walk all the way to the reef.
I've been to Egypt twice now but this was the first time I'd been here & I will definitely be going again.
There's huge like beanbags to sit/lay on in the shade. There's a bar to buy drinks from whatever you prefer, pop, alcohol etc. Perfect for sitting & watching the gorgeous sea with.
I would definitely recommend going on a trip here when your in Egypt. You will love it. ❤
