This guide explains our actual excursion prices, family calculations and the separate private-boat option. Prices and program details were checked on 2 October 2026. View the standard Orange Bay snorkeling trip for the live booking options and confirm the total for your date.
1. Orange Bay Hurghada price: current standard fares
The current standard Orange Bay snorkeling trip costs €25 for ages 11+, €15 for children aged 4–10 inclusive, and is free for ages 0–3 inclusive. These are the fares for our linked standard shared excursion, not a claimed average across every company selling an Orange Bay visit.
| Guest category | Base fare | What to enter when booking |
|---|---|---|
| Adult, age 11+ | €25 | All guests aged 11 and over |
| Child, age 4–10 | €15 | Each child’s actual age |
| Infant, age 0–3 | Free | Include the infant in the passenger count |
A three-year-old falls in the free category; a four-year-old pays €15. A ten-year-old still pays €15, while an eleven-year-old pays the adult fare. This distinction matters when calculating a family total and matching the booking form to your party.
Orange Bay and Paradise Island charge a fixed €15 for ages 4–10; the general half-adult-price rule does not apply. Cairo and Luxor have their own child prices, and massage charges the full adult price for a child. Each product must be checked on its own terms.
The Orange Bay Hurghada price in this guide is quoted in euros. Do not treat an old dollar estimate as the same amount or assume a card issuer’s conversion rate. Confirm the accepted payment currency and method with your booking before travel. We do not publish an unsupported promise that weekdays, winter or last-minute bookings are automatically cheaper.
2. What the standard price includes
The standard Orange Bay snorkeling trip is approximately eight hours overall, with about two hours at Orange Bay and two planned snorkeling stops. It lists boat travel, snorkeling equipment, onboard lunch and drinks, and hotel transfers within Hurghada. Water activities such as the Banana Boat remain subject to conditions and participation requirements.
| Part of the day | Current listed arrangement | Useful distinction |
|---|---|---|
| Island visit | Approximately two hours at Orange Bay | The whole excursion duration is not beach time |
| Snorkeling | Two planned reef stops and equipment | Sites and activity order depend on conditions |
| Food and drinks | Onboard lunch and drinks | Purchases at an island café are separate |
| Hotel transfer | Pickup and drop-off within Hurghada | Other resort areas have supplements |
| Boat | Shared excursion, maximum 50 guests | The capacity limit is not the promised passenger count |
Compare the full arrangement before comparing a headline Orange Bay Hurghada price. A booking that includes transport from your hotel is different from one that expects you to reach a meeting point yourself. A beach admission ticket is also different from a full-day boat excursion with snorkeling and lunch.
The standard Orange Bay Hurghada price covers the excursion linked here. This guide does not offer or establish the price of a separate entry-only ticket. Ask for the exact package and written total if another advertisement uses “ticket,” “entry,” “VIP” or “all-inclusive” differently.
Snorkeling equipment being included does not automatically confirm a wetsuit, specialist sizes or individual instruction. Explain your needs before booking. Similarly, a lunch inclusion does not confirm a specific dietary menu; ask whether your requirement can be accommodated.
3. Transfer supplements and optional spending
For the Orange Bay Hurghada price to be useful, add the transfer arrangement for your actual hotel. Hurghada pickup and drop-off are included in the standard program. The current published supplements are €5 per person for Makadi Bay or Sahl Hasheesh, and €10 per person for Soma Bay, Safaga or El Gouna.
| Hotel area | Supplement | Before booking |
|---|---|---|
| Hurghada | Included | Send the full hotel name to confirm pickup |
| Makadi Bay or Sahl Hasheesh | €5 per person | Confirm the party total and child application |
| Soma Bay, Safaga or El Gouna | €10 per person | Confirm the party total and child application |
Do not assume a hotel’s marketing address is enough to calculate collection. Send its full name and ask for the confirmed total. The child excursion fare and a transfer supplement are different charges; the amount applicable to children and infants should be confirmed for your party rather than guessed.
Optional spending can include professional photographs, personal purchases and drinks or food bought ashore. Ask for the price before accepting a service. The fact that lunch and drinks are available onboard does not mean an island café bill is included.
We do not add invented environmental fees or entrance surcharges to the published package in this guide. Before confirming, ask whether the quoted total includes all mandatory charges for the named program. If a charge is required, it should be clearly identified in the booking total; it should not be confused with an optional purchase.
Bring a towel and sun protection. Do not assume towel hire, a reserved beach seat or access to every photographed facility is included. If a specific facility is essential, have that point confirmed before choosing the excursion.
4. Calculate your family or group total
Calculate the Orange Bay Hurghada price for your party from the guest ages, then add confirmed supplements and any extras you actually choose. For the standard tour, the base calculation is €25 × guests aged 11+ + €15 × children aged 4–10. Ages 0–3 add no excursion fare but still need to be included in the booking.
| Party | Calculation | Base total |
|---|---|---|
| Two adults | 2 × €25 | €50 |
| Two adults and one child aged 4–10 | €50 + €15 | €65 |
| Two adults and two children aged 4–10 | €50 + €30 | €80 |
| Two adults, one ten-year-old and one three-year-old | €50 + €15 + €0 | €65 |
| Two adults and one eleven-year-old | 3 × €25 | €75 |
For an adult-only example, two adults staying in Makadi Bay have a €50 base fare plus the published €5 supplement for each person, giving €60 before optional spending. Two adults from El Gouna have a €50 base fare plus €10 each, giving €70. Confirm the hotel arrangement when booking.
To confirm the Orange Bay Hurghada price for a family with children, use the base examples above and obtain the transfer total for the actual ages. Do not copy an adult-only supplement calculation onto an infant without checking how the transfer charge applies. Keep the agreed amount with your booking confirmation.
If one person decides not to snorkel, do not subtract a snorkeling fee unless a different fare has been explicitly agreed. The standard price is for the combined boat-and-island program. Activities being optional to join does not mean the package is priced as separate refundable components.
Guest counts must also match the actual party. An infant travelling free is still a passenger, and a family should not leave that child off the form to make the total appear correct. If the form does not reflect the confirmed arrangement, contact us before completing the booking.
5. Shared Orange Bay trip versus a private speedboat
Our private speedboat trip has a different pricing model: €150 for the whole private boat for up to six guests in total, including children. Its published duration is approximately four hours. Orange Bay is an optional addition at €10 per visiting guest, and any transfer supplement outside Hurghada is confirmed separately.
That €150 is not a per-person adult fare. There is no separate half-price child boat fare to calculate because you are booking the vessel for your group. Children count toward the six-person maximum. Confirm the optional island charge for every guest who will visit before agreeing to the total.
| Option | Published base | Important difference |
|---|---|---|
| Standard shared Orange Bay excursion | €25 adult / €15 child / ages 0–3 free | Approximately eight hours, onboard lunch, planned Orange Bay visit |
| Private speedboat | €150 for the whole boat, up to six guests | Approximately four hours, fruit and drinks; Orange Bay optional at €10 per visitor |
For example, four adult guests choosing the private boat and four Orange Bay visits have a published base calculation of €150 + €40 = €190, before any separately confirmed outside-Hurghada transfer supplement. Dividing €190 between those four adults gives €47.50 each for that particular arrangement.
Six adults with six island visits have a calculation of €150 + €60 = €210 before any transfer supplement, or €35 each when divided equally. Those examples illustrate the whole-boat pricing model; they do not make the private product identical to the standard shared itinerary.
The private boat lists fruit, water and soft drinks, not a full lunch. Its program includes a wild-dolphin search and snorkeling, with Orange Bay available as an addition. Wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed. Confirm how the island visit fits into your requested program before booking.
When comparing a private quote with the shared Orange Bay Hurghada price, privacy, duration, food and route matter as much as dividing the total by the passenger count. A private vessel does not reserve the island for your group or guarantee smoother conditions. Choose the product that fits your day, then compare the complete quote.
6. Compare value without relying on a VIP label
For background on the Giftun Islands’ beach setting, see the Egyptian Tourism Authority’s Hurghada guide. Use the specific excursion page and your confirmation to establish what your payment includes.
A higher Orange Bay Hurghada price does not by itself prove a better reef, a quieter beach or more time ashore. Compare the named destination, planned island time, total duration, hotel transfer, group arrangement and food. Ask what a premium label changes in concrete terms.
If a listing says “VIP,” establish whether it actually means a smaller group, private use, a specific vessel or an additional service. Our linked standard island excursion is shared and lists a maximum of 50 guests. Do not interpret a private hotel transfer as proof that the boat is also private.
For snorkeling, ask about the briefing, assistance and planned stops. No provider can guarantee particular fish or water clarity for a future date. Our Orange Bay snorkeling guide helps you compare the water-based part of the day.
If the beach is the main decision, compare the Paradise Island trip too. Its current standard adult and child fares are also €25 and €15, with ages 0–3 free. Read our Orange Bay versus Paradise Island comparison to choose the destination, rather than assuming a price difference that is not present in these two products.
When timing matters, use the Orange Bay timing guide to plan around comfort, current conditions and your available dates. No lower price or seasonal label guarantees the sea conditions or crowd level you will encounter.
7. Booking, payment and cancellation costs
To confirm the Orange Bay Hurghada price for your group, send your date, full hotel name, adults and every child’s age. Ask for the named program, pickup arrangement, expected return and full amount. Keep the reply so everyone in the party has the same understanding.
Want the exact total for your hotel and family? Ask Hurghada Travels on WhatsApp with your date, hotel and traveler ages.
For cash-on-arrival bookings, no advance deposit is required. Pay our representative at pickup on the tour day, before the trip begins. Prices are published in euros; if you want to pay in another currency, agree the currency and exact amount before the trip. Keep the written booking total and agree the price of any optional purchase before accepting it.
Our cancellation and date-change policy allows a full refund for cancellation received at least 24 hours before the confirmed tour start. Deadlines use Egypt local time. Later cancellations and no-shows are non-refundable. Any non-refundable ticket or committed-cost exception must be disclosed before payment and included in your confirmation.
For a date change requested at least 24 hours before the start, there is no change fee, subject to availability and any price difference. The revised date requires confirmation. A request is not the same as a confirmed change, so retain the operator’s reply.
If we cancel, including for unsafe weather, choose an available alternative date or a full refund. If an individual activity changes while the tour still runs, ask about that particular change. Do not assume the whole excursion has been cancelled or that every included element has a separate advertised refund value.

What does a family of four pay?

No. The €25 adult fare is for the linked standard boat excursion with its listed program. We are not quoting a standalone Orange Bay admission ticket in this guide.
Do I pay separately for lunch on the island?
The standard excursion includes lunch and drinks onboard. Food or drinks you order from an island café are separate personal purchases unless your confirmation explicitly states otherwise.
Can I get a discount if I do not snorkel?
Do not assume a discount. The standard fare is for the combined boat-and-island program. Tell us you want to skip snorkeling and ask whether a different agreed arrangement is available.
Is the private speedboat €150 per person?
No. It is €150 for the whole private boat for up to six guests, including children. Orange Bay is optional at €10 per visiting guest; outside-Hurghada transfers are confirmed separately. The program and duration differ from the shared excursion.

No full lunch is listed for the private speedboat. It lists seasonal fruit, water and soft drinks. Compare its confirmed program separately from the standard shared trip with onboard lunch.
Are there mandatory hidden fees?
The listed boat trip, Orange Bay visit, lunch, drinks and snorkeling equipment are included. Professional photos, videos, island café purchases and personal spending are optional; you can take the standard program without buying them. Confirm any hotel-area transfer supplement and the full total before booking.
What cancellation charge should I budget for?
Cancellation received at least 24 hours before the confirmed tour start qualifies for a full refund under the stated terms, subject to any exception disclosed in advance. Later cancellation and no-shows are non-refundable. Egypt local time applies.
