“Despite having picked a day of strong winds, our boat still sailed and it ended up being one of the nicest experiences we've had in Hurghada. Warm clothes and big towels are a must. We stopped first on Orange Bay, took some photos, then sailed to the first snorkeling stop near Giftun island. Although the water in February is colder, snorkeling was worth it, seeing the corals and the many different color fish made my day. Seafood lunch on board was delicious.

The diving was great and the guides were friendly and knowledgeable but I was expecting a short trip without any extras so I could still have the rest of my day to do something else. So just be aware you will not be on a two hour dive like the listing advertised.”

Having a small boat with only the Captian and the two of us was way better. Be aware that you'll have to pay a 5$ tourist tax per person on site. You can decide what you want to do during the trip. Wanna go snorkeling, just a boat-trip, see some islands? The captian will do what you want. Should we ever come back we will certainly make the trip again.”
