Top Hurghada Day Trips - page 14

We had a great day. Yes it’s an early start, yes it’s hot and yes it’s tiring. Reading some of the reviews I’m not sure why some people don’t expect this? Our drivers were amazing and also tour guide very helpful. Plenty of drinks for all throughout. Enough toilets stops on route and back and most of all the itinerary was amazing. We opted to pay for Nile boat and is worth it. I think if you want to spend significant time in each place this isn’t or you as it’s an all in one day tour (also with the heat I wouldn’t want to spend a huge amount of time in each)! Overall I’d recommend this trip - we travelled from Hurghada and it’s a nice small tour.

Overall super happy. Organized this very short term (like 12 hours before departure) and everything went super smooth. The van was spacious so that we (family of 5) could sleep all the way after the 4 AM start. Our guide Osama was super knowledgeable and very accommodating of our ask to accelerate the tour a bit given the full thing was a bit too long for our kids. The restaurant they picked was very (!) good Overall great experience would recommend any time

Exactly what I was expecting and more! The Jeep ride through the sandy desert was super exhilarating! I wish the camel ride was a bit longer...but grateful to do it. The sunset and walk around the village with the dinner was nice. But the telescope to see the moon and planets BLEW my mind!! The instruction of the stars and constellations was awesome! Thank you!

This boat tour was absolutely amazing! The gides were super welcoming and nice and took care of us so well! We werent the best of swimmers but we still swam in the red sea and the fishing was absolutely incredible! The ride was smooth and very enjoyable and the food was absolutely delicious! 10/10 will definitely reccomend! :)

We had a great day with Mido and his colleagues. The staff were the friendliest ever. They looked after us well and kept us entertained all day. We had two stops for snorkelling and were also taken to see dolphins in the bay before we had an afternoon stop at Orange Bay. We were given an extra bag of snacks on arrival because we had booked direct through Viator. The lunch offering could be improved in quality slightly however don’t let this stop you booking with the company as it was adequate and we had an immensely enjoyable day.

The day began with a timely pickup by Ahmed. He is a gem! Comfortable vehicle, relaxed drive, and super kind toward our family. He was also there to pick us up following the excursion. We enjoyed snack and refreshments. The boat crew and captain were fantastic. Again, incredibly warm and helpful. They were fabulous in accommodating all people on the boat, whether young or old, novice or experienced. Day began with seeing dolphins while still tied up at port. Then a long haul to the Dolphin House. Along the way we spotted dolphins from the boat. On location, we were able to swim near some coral and had two small pods of dolphins swim very near us. It was incredible. Important to jote is that the crew of our boat was respectful towards the reefs and dolphins. This cannot be said for other boats and zodiacs we observed. Lunch was tasty. More dolphins observed on our way to the final snorkeling location. That last reef was another pleasant swim with good variety of fish and a couple of rays. The people working this tour, from driver to crew to captain were all lovely and worked hard to make it enjoyable for all.

We went to a spot where we could see dolphins swim in the middle of the sea. We did orange bay as an added extra (10€ pp) and so worth it. Beautiful place. Our private tour guide was really good and the snorkeling was stunning. He took us for 45 minutes and waited for us and showed us different fish etc. They provided good snacks and soft drinks/water. Nothing was too much trouble. Easy communication and transfer to and from where we needed. Highly recommend a private tour for a more private experience.

We were picked up from our hotel right on time — the driver came into reception to collect us, which was a nice touch. The car journey was about 25 minutes from where we were staying. The quad biking was great fun! Definitely recommend wearing the provided goggles — sunglasses won’t be enough for the dust. We brought scarfs with us. Our leader, Mohammed, was really friendly and took lots of photos for us, which made the experience even better. The camel ride was short but cool, and the tea they served was lovely. There are small shops on site if you need to buy anything, and you can bring a small bag with you. Overall, a really good experience! We did pay 400 LE for a fridge magnet, which was quite steep — so make sure to double-check prices before buying souvenirs.
