Great experience with the best guide

Our boat trip was incredible thanks to Adam. He was friendly, helpful, and great to talk to, and he truly made the experience unforgettable

Family

Gebusi_M, Jan 2026

We had an amazing full-day trip to Orange Bay from Hurghada with our family (two adults and three children aged 2, 5, and 7), and everything went better than expected. We were picked up right from our hotel doorstep, which made the day start stress-free. The entire trip was very well organized from start to finish, and the staff were extremely friendly, attentive, and welcoming, especially with our kids. Food and drinks were plentiful and fresh, the music created a fun and lively atmosphere, and everything was clean and well maintained. Our children had an incredible time with the water activities and snorkeling, and it was very reassuring to see how family-friendly and well managed everything was. Orange Bay itself was beautiful, relaxing, and perfect for families with younger children. We were brought back to our hotel on time, happy and exhausted in the best way. We highly recommend this trip, especially for families with young kids. Truly a fantastic experience and great value for money, we would definitely do it again

The trip to Orange Beach...

Stefano_C, Dec 2025

The trip to Orange Beach is very nice! The island is ok and the water super clear especially when you enter, the color is amazing. The best attractions are the snorkeling stops where we saw a lot of colorful fish. The best thing is the crew, super friendly and always trying so you have a good time. Special thanks to Adam for the help and the talk, see you soon Habibi!

Amazing !!!

Rickie_T, Sep 2025

We went on a boat trip that included snorkeling, a visit to Orange Bay, and water sports — and it was absolutely fantastic! Adam and the rest of the staff were amazing. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone was safe and having a great time. The food on the boat was delicious, with a great variety to suit everyone’s tastes. Thank you so much — we had the best day ever!

almost nice sea experience

Endre_T, Sep 2025

I have to inform you that we had some unpleasant moments on the ship. The crew asked us for passports, saying that this is mandatory from this year. I have the Viator booking confirmation in front of me, and it doesn't say a word about this. I'm sorry if I caused any inconvenience to the crew. Best regards, Endre Trepper

a beautiful day!!

beth_c, Aug 2025

we loved this trip and had an amazing day! beginning with the watersports, we didn’t take part in this as we wanted to soak up some of the sun on the boat however the snorkelling was fantastic. we stopped near some gorgeous coral reefs and seen so many fish!! gutted my go pro ran out of storage as i would have got some fantastic footage!! after both snorkel stops we had some lunch, we got a real plate full and can’t complain what so ever. i’m not sure what the potato dish was, but i could have gone back for a 2nd, 3rd and 4th helping, it was delicious!! after lunch we then went to orange bay and wow this place is so beautiful. it is literally paradise and just looks like a postcard. overall i would highly recommend this trip, the guides on the boat were so kind, helpful, funny and made the day super enjoyable. i’d love to do this again!

Great Excursion!

Patrick_N, Mar 2025

It was a great day. The journey was smooth and the boat and snorkeling part was great! The guys working on were all friendly.

Poor communication

Jenny_S, Mar 2025

We were told a pickup time of 8:30 from our hotel - instructions were to wait in the reception area. We stood outside the front of the reception building where other transfer vehicles had previously picked us up. Having reached 8:55, I was trying to contact the transfer as to how long they’d be, what vehicle to look out for, and details of where exactly we were waiting. We were rudely told to walk outside of the security gates and onto the street outside of our hotel as that’s where the driver was waiting. The driver had no patience and did not apologise for the miscommunication. Upon arriving at the marina, we were guided to our boat, again with little communication as to the itinerary or departure time. We took our seats at around 9:15 expecting to set off soon as the excursion start time was advertised as 9am, hence the 8:30am pickup. After hearing nothing regarding departure from the marina by 10:20, my partner and I decided to leave the boat and spend our day elsewhere. The crew tried to explain they were waiting for the government to allow permission for them to set off but our issue was the advertised start time that we had gotten up early for, to then be sat around on the boat for over an hour with no communication. We felt it was very poor and that the passengers at least deserved updates on the situation. The crew were not very happy that we wanted to leave the boat, until we stated that we did not care about getting a refund, we just didn’t want to waste our final day on holiday sitting around. This experience was so highly rated and we’re devastated we couldn’t get to see Orange Bay before we left, but ultimately the lack of professionalism from the crew on the boat was most disappointing.

This is the one you are looking for

Mariyana_K, Feb 2025

Nice boat and tasty food. The lads picked up us on time from the hotel. Atmosphere on the boat amazing. All activities were good, just wished we had more time in Orange Bay. The best priced experience.

Amazing experience, the best team

denisavasilichioaei, Feb 2025

I really recommend this trip and also go for the vip pack. The boat was amazing 3 floor boat, the team.. i don t have words to describe this guys. I laughed a lot, they danced, help us in every moment, joked with us a lot, they are really the best (Sim Sim and a guy with short dreads, braids). Also the food was very very good. I want to thanks this guys for making my day!

Amazing trip!

Emily_H, Nov 2024

The whole day was great, best trip we’ve done since being in Hurghada. The snorkelling was fun and the team looked after us as we are not strong swimmers. Lunch was tasty and orange bay was beautiful, we were there for 2 hours and it was more than enough time. We arrived before the crowds so got to enjoy the island whilst it was quiet. Our guide Mohammed was really helpful and looked out for us from start to finish. Worth buying the videos as they are very good quality.

Was asked to pay extra...

Thomas_H, Nov 2024

Was asked to pay extra for VIP but onboard there were no benefits because all were VIP and got the same. Staff did not know anything about VIP. Interesting to be asked to upgrade if everyone get the same anyway.....

The must-do activity

Jessy_M, Oct 2024

Among all the activities we did, this was our favorite! The boat ride in those turquoise waters was simply amazing. The island was stunning, but be careful the water is very cold, you have to go quite far to be out of your depth and there is a lot of people. The only downside were the amount of food at lunch and the duration of the banana ride was too short, but otherwise, we have no complaints. The crew was fantastic, and the snorkeling was great! Among all the others activities, this one offers the best value for quality and price.

Average

Ilse_H, Mar 2024

Ordered the VIP package but nothing really VIP about it. Extra trips were forced on us which made what was meant to be a relaxing day, irritating! The constant hussling was a big detractor, making the experience meh, so much so my daughter and I were forced to write a review while still on the tour! Orange Bay however is beautiful. We only had an hour and a half on the island, so really wish we had more time there. My kids enjoyed the snorkelling though. Lunch was average.

Amazing experience

Lorena_T, Mar 2024

I had really have a great experience with these guys. Congratulations, Moon light yacht! Many thanks to Fady, Nemo, Mustafa, the photographer “Shakira”and the rest of the staff! Greetings to you all in the Alibaba group! Very clean yacht, very carry staff. It was my first time snorkeling and I am not a swimer, Nemo was all the the time near me explaining how to handle. All the best from me!️

Great experience

Petar_B, Nov 2023

We enjoyed this experince a lot. Great organisation.. the boat, food, equipment were really good. The biggest asset was Mahmoud who was our representative ( guide ), he took good care of us and made sure we were satisfied with everything. We booked this agency because of the reviews on him and he surely fulfilled the expectations and beyond that! Would definitely recomment booking this trip

Great with a few improvements needed :)

Viktorija_L, Nov 2023

We had a great day here! The team were very helpful, especially the main man who hosted us. A few pointers for the team: - The second part of the snorkelling was in very choppy waters so it was hard to keep up and a group of that size in one area is a lot of people to swim across and avoid hitting. - Some snacks on board would be nice - The food needs improvement, was quite bland - The photo taking is not necessary when people are trying to enjoy themselves - More time at the beach would be great because we only got an hour or so there. What we loved: - The team’s spirit - The boat was very nice and clean, and spacious - The hospitality - Snorkelling was very fun Would definitely recommend this tour nonetheless.

Day orange bay was pretty...

Setty_M, Feb 2026

Day orange bay was quite windy which made snorkeling too cold. Lunch on the boat was inedible and orange bay was a small beach with freezing water. Nice to see Egypt from the boat and the blue water but nothing special. What was also strange is that you have to pay another 17,- pp according to the guides this is tax and entrance fee for orange bay, but I wonder what the other 17,- pp was for

Great day on orange bay

Pedro_M, Aug 2025

The trip is fantastic, with beautiful choirs and a beautiful beach to relax, and our guide Adam was super helpful and attentive.

Good experience

Francisco_O, Aug 2025

The experience itself was good. Other boats doing the route also played music, ours had the music equipment broken as we were told, but everything was great. The fact that I put 4 stars on it is that the driver was 40 minutes late.

Perfect.

Oceane_S, Jul 2025

Everything was perfect! Animators, snorkeling, excursion, water games. I highly recommend

Schönstes Erlebnis in Hurghada

Sena_D, Aug 2024

Ich bin wirklich begeistert von diesem tollen Erlebnis. Es war eines meiner besten Tage in Hurghada. Unser Touri Mahmoud war sehr bemüht und hat uns den ganzen Tag lang begleitet, ein echt kompetenter Mann. Unser erstes Ziel war Orange Bay und es war wunderschön dort, wie auf den Malediven. Wir hatten ganze zwei Stunden Zeit, die wir sort verbringen durften. Danach ging es zu zwei verschiedenen Korallenriffen, wo wir mit dem Team zusammen schnorcheln durften. Es waren wunderschöne bunte Fische zu sehen. Zuletzt durften wir auch noch mit der Plastikbanane und der Plastikcouch über das Meer driften. Achja und das Essen auf dem Boot war ganz in Ordnung und man durfte sich zu jeder Zeit ein Getränk holen. 🤩

Kann man machen.

Christoph_P, Aug 2024

Ist ein ganz schöner Ausflug,man muss sich aber darüber im klaren sein das diese Insel überlaufen ist von Touristen und man ca 20min in der Schlange steht bei der schaukel im Wasser. 😆 Das Schnorchel ist auch ganz nett,in hurghada sind halt die Riffs durch diesen riesengroß Ansturm an Touristen größten teils tot.
