Dolphins spotted
Nice crew. Drinking alone was not continuously available.
Dolphins can see well. Only too windy for swimming along

Orange Bay and snorkelling.
I booked a trip to Orange Bay andsnorkelling for very good price.
The tour operator was so helpful and friendly.
It was a 7:30am pick up and I was ready by 7am. Small buggies usually travel around the hotel area as it’s very big, roughly every 10 minutes you’ll see 1 to pick you up and take you to reception or wherever you need to go on the premises.
Unfortunately, I was not informed that at the early hours of the morning this doesn’t happen. I waited and waited and waited and began receiving messages from the tour guide to find out where I was.
Eventually, I called reception they said they’re sending a buggy now making me half an hour late to my cab.
The hotel apologised for not informing me that buggies don’t rotate on the premises every 10 minutes early in the morning.
I finally made it to the front gate for the cab driver to be so rude and obnoxious.
I tried to explain to him what had happened but he just gave me attitude.
I informed the tour guide and thank God they didn’t have the same attitude as this horrible cab driver.
They said they were looking into it and told me to enjoy my day (very professional good customer service)
Orange Bay was a lovely experience, a small paradise, and I watched from the boat, along with a quarter of the tourists, see the rest enjoy snorkelling.
Food wasn’t the greatest it was a small dish of chips, spaghetti, a couple chicken nuggets, a small piece of beef along with rice.
All the staff members on the trip were very friendly with great humour.
The staff made things very clear us.
It was a lovely day. I really enjoyed myself and would recommend it.
The only thing I dreaded in the end was getting in that same cab and seeing the same cab driver again.
Fortunately for me the tour guide changed the cab driver.
Happy days.

Snorkeling in Hurghada
We had an absolutely fantastic time snorkelling with Mustafa, who was our main guide! We spotted so many fish, beautiful coral, and shiny shells. It was a truly memorable experience, and we also had plenty of time to relax and enjoy Orange Bay Beach. We would recommend this experience.
