Snorkeling Orange Bay
A big thank you to Egyptra.pro and especially to Ehab Younan for the perfect organization and unforgettable experiences. We did three tours: Snorkeling with Orange Bay – fantastically beautiful, the ship Ayya and the crew just wonderful. Submarine & Snorkeling – unique, the owner is there with so much passion. Star Adventure – exciting, well organized and highly recommended.
Egyptra.pro organizes the tours, the execution is up to the respective providers. If something doesn't go perfectly, it's often due to external circumstances or fellow travellers, not Egyptra. The drivers were on time, sometimes they just had to look for guests. On the way back to the hotel everything went perfectly: the driver is waiting, you can get in immediately and drive back relaxed.
You should also be realistic about the expectations of language – we are in Egypt, and even in Germanland not every taxi driver speaks perfect German or English. A little understanding makes things easier.
All in all a great, lovingly organized experience. Thanks to Ehab, who coordinated everything with so much patience and kindness. We would always choose Egyptra.pro again

Lack of compromise
I did a snorkeling excursion with Egyptra and the excursion itself was very good but the formality of the company leaves a lot to be desired... To begin with, they told me that the activity started at 8 am, they picked me up at 7.10 am and I arrived at the boat and there was absolutely no one there. I was waiting alone for almost an hour and, speaking with the crew, they told me that the activity started at 9. I spoke to the tour operator and showed him my dissatisfaction and, after several intermediaries seeking an explanation, Eguptra told me that they would give me the material free photograph in compensation for what happened. More than 3 days have passed since then, I have written to them several times asking about it and they only tell me that I am going to have it but they do not send it to me; I'm tired of writing to you. I think it is a lack of formality and concern for clients since I do not see it as normal to have to be on top of them constantly.

We are sorry about that. We will try to change this as soon as possible. You can also contact the Egypttra Operations team directly

Super recommend it
Amazing, crew on boat was super friendly, giving clear instructions, even doing magic tricks to entertain us. They helped us with snorkeling, my friend was scared but he stood by us all the time. Food was good, boat was clean, good music and island view was breathtaking. Do it!!!

Wonderful snorkeling trip on the Red Sea
We had a wonderful full day Red Sea trip from Hurghada with snorkeling, lunch and a stay at Giftun Island/Orange Bay. We really enjoyed it. The trip was well organized, including the transfer from and to our hotel. There was enough snorkeling equipment and you could also shower after snorkeling. There were drinks during the whole day and even some fresh fruit. At the end you could also do a short banana boat ride. There were no extra fees. The crew was very nice, fun and helpful! They did a great job!

really pleasant experience
to start things off the transfer to the harbour went really smoothly and we boarded the ship on time. after that, we went to the first snorkeling spot which was a wonderful riff with lots of corals and fish but people who couldn’t swim/were insecure also went into the water so they rushed us through it and it was a lot of people, too. you just kept swimming into each other/crossing each other. please consider it’s probably a well visited riff and the guides are under pressure regarding the time they can spend there and have no influence how many people there are. however, after that minor incident, we went to a different snorkeling spot where we were allowed to roam on our own for however long we liked. afterwards we were allowed to jump from the upper deck into the sea which was a really nice experience. then we got food which was okay, they served standard things like all variations of carbs, some meat and veggies. next we went to giftun island/orange bay. the scenery was breathtaking. there’s things to consider for older/non mobile people tho: you have to get on a transfer boat two times and get on some big steps on a staircase which probably isn’t ideal for people who are limited in their ability to move. then the boat rides back in the direction of the harbour. yet again, transfer to the hotel went smoothly.
theres not much the crew or organisators can improve as it’s not in their hands, as mentioned above. definitely worth the time and money. you had to pay 35€ for photos the photographer takes of you tho which is a bit pricey and it was only like 5 pics and 5 videos, that’s okay tho as that’s probably his only source of income. plus, only one person out of two paid for us and we still received all photos taken of both people and the video jumping from the ship.
big shout out to the photographer, guides and crew. all of them were super friendly, helpful (helped clean my goggles and helped those who can’t swim) and pleasant to be around.
not to mention the organisators and drivers, they were extremely nice and respectful!
