Know what your Hurghada excursion includes
Check the total price, hotel transfer, shared or private format and time spent on the activity. These are the details we help you clarify before you choose.
What is included in my price?
Check the included and excluded lists for your selected trip. Hotel-area supplements, island access, entry tickets and optional extras must be clear in the booking total or confirmed quote. Ask us about any item that is unclear before paying.
When will I know my pickup time?
Pickup depends on the hotel area and departure programme. We send the collection arrangements before travel, normally the evening before. Use the contact in your confirmation if you need to check the meeting point or report a delay.
Is the experience shared or private?
The trip format is stated on the page. Shared departures include other bookings; a private boat or vehicle is reserved for your group. Tell us your full group size, including children, so capacity can be checked.
How much time is spent on the activity?
Total trip length includes transfers and waiting as well as the activity. Check the itinerary and activity-time information, especially for snorkelling, island visits and quad riding. Timings are estimates and can change with conditions.
Does the programme include shopping stops?
Check any planned stops when comparing sightseeing trips. If avoiding shops is important to your group, tell us before booking so we can confirm a suitable programme, particularly for a private tour.
Do I have to buy photographs or extras?
Photos, videos and other optional purchases are separate from the booked programme unless specifically listed as included. Ask for the price and decide whether you want an extra before agreeing to it.
Which Hurghada day trip fits your holiday?
For island beach time and snorkelling, compare Orange Bay with the other Red Sea boat trips. If you are interested in a sea day with the chance to see wild dolphins, read the Dolphin House programme. A wildlife sighting is never guaranteed, and sea conditions can change the planned stops.
For a desert outing, compare a quad safari with the longer Super Safari programme. If you prefer a shorter local activity, browse city and family trips. Save a separate full day for Luxor or Cairo and review the early starts and travel time before choosing.
Shared or private: what changes?
A shared boat or group tour follows a common departure programme and includes other bookings. It can suit travellers who want to join an organised itinerary. Check group format, hotel pickups and the timetable on the selected trip page.
A private yacht, private jeep or private Luxor trip gives your group its own boat or vehicle. Confirm what is reserved exclusively for you, the agreed programme and the full group price. Weather, port rules, site access and operating hours still apply.
Compare the whole day and the whole price
Use the total duration to plan your day away from the hotel, and the activity-time information to understand how long you actually ride, snorkel or visit a site. Transfers, boarding, briefing and rest stops take time too. The itinerary describes the planned programme, with timings subject to conditions.
Check the price unit beside each excursion. A per-person fare, a private-boat price and a single-quad price describe different bookings. Enter your date, hotel area, adults and children’s ages to see the total, including any pickup supplement and minimum booking price. Optional extras should be clear before you agree to them.
Booking a trip with children
Enter the age of every child on the trip date. On standard per-person trips, ages 0–4 are free, ages 5–10 pay half the adult trip fare and ages 11 and over pay the full fare. Prices per boat, jeep or selected quad remain vehicle prices; minimum bookings and transfer supplements are separate.
Choose for your family’s comfort as well as the fare: consider boarding, steps, time on the road or water and whether everyone wants to take part. A discounted ticket does not remove an activity’s age or suitability restrictions. Our family guide gives you more options to compare.
Payment, confirmation and your hotel transfer
Where online payment is available, choose full payment or a deposit with the remaining balance in cash on the day. Private charters and other supplier-confirmed programmes are quoted before payment. Check the amount due, any cash balance and the cancellation terms shown for your chosen booking.
Select your exact hotel area: central Hurghada, El Gouna, Makadi Bay, Sahl Hasheesh, Soma Bay and Safaga can have different collection arrangements and supplements. We send pickup details before travel, normally the evening before. Keep your reference and contact details available if you need to check an arrangement.

Hurghada Day Trips — your questions answered
How do I choose a Hurghada day trip?
Start with the experience and the time you want to spend away from your hotel. Orange Bay combines beach time with snorkelling; Dolphin House focuses on a day at sea; desert activities range from a shorter quad outing to a longer safari. Luxor and Cairo involve much more travel. Open each trip to compare its programme, inclusions and suitability.
What does the starting price cover?
The price unit is shown beside each trip: usually per person, or per boat, jeep or selected quad. A starting price is not automatically the total for your whole group. Enter the date, adults, children’s ages, hotel area and any vehicle options to see the booking total or request a confirmed quote.
Do children get a discount?
On standard per-person trips, ages 0–4 are free, ages 5–10 pay half the adult trip fare, and ages 11 and over pay the full fare. Enter the age of every child on the trip date. Private vehicle prices, minimum booking prices, pickup supplements and activity age restrictions are shown separately.
Is hotel pickup included?
Central Hurghada pickup is included where stated on the trip page. El Gouna, Makadi Bay, Sahl Hasheesh, Soma Bay and Safaga may have a transfer supplement. Select your exact area in the booking form; any supplement is displayed there or confirmed with your quote.
How do I pay for my excursion?
Where online payment is available, choose full payment by card or a deposit online with the remaining balance in cash on the day. Private charters and other supplier-confirmed programmes are quoted before payment. The available options and the amount due are shown during booking or in your written confirmation.
What is the difference between Orange Bay and Dolphin House?
The Orange Bay programme combines two snorkelling stops with around two hours on the island beach. Dolphin House focuses on a sea and snorkelling day with a visit to the dolphin area and planned reef stops. Wild dolphin sightings are not guaranteed. Sea conditions can affect the route and time at each stop.
Will our boat trip be shared or private?
Shared departures carry other bookings on the same boat and follow the group programme. A private charter reserves the boat for your group. Its route, duration and inclusions are agreed in advance and remain subject to weather and port restrictions.
Which activities suit families with young children?
Compare the length of the transfer, time on board, steps and ladders, shade and your child’s comfort around water. Semi-submarine, aquarium and private boat options can be worth comparing, but suitability and activity age limits must be checked for your family. Enter every child’s age when booking.
Can we visit Luxor or Cairo and return to Hurghada the same day?
The day-trip programmes are designed to return to Hurghada, but both destinations involve substantial travel and early starts. Compare bus and private options for Luxor, and bus and flight options for Cairo. Two-day trips and Nile cruises have different itineraries and overnight arrangements.
Can I cancel my booking?
Most standard day trips allow free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup. Private, flight, hotel and cruise programmes may have different supplier conditions. Check the cancellation policy and the terms shown for your booking before paying.
What happens if weather affects a boat trip?
The captain and port authorities determine whether a sea trip can operate. Routes and stops can change with conditions. If the trip is cancelled because the port closes or it cannot run safely, we arrange another date or a full refund.
What information do you need for a booking?
Send the trip, travel date, exact hotel, pickup area, adults, each child’s age on the trip date and a working email address or phone number. Include any relevant requests, such as a private boat or a particular guide language, so they can be checked before confirmation.
