Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Jon_HobsonLyndhurst, UK118 contributionsAmazing day. Picked up from hotel and taken to boat. It was not crowded. Option to get off at Orange island or Paradise Island. On paradise island the boat has reserved umbrellas. Drink prices not too expensive ($6 for a beer). The snorkelling was great and if you wanted a quick whizz on the “sofa” behind the rib you could. Lunch on the boat was good and my daughter lived the pasta and chicken. Incredible value for money.

- sherRossOnWyeRoss-on-Wye, UK16 contributionsExcellent experience with fish and turtles. Good crew with attention to passenger safety and cleanliness on the boat. Snorkelling if wanted.
Various prices for the trip so shop around.Written 29 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Heather S6 contributionsWe had a fantastic trip to Luxor yesterday from Makadi Bay. The private mini bus was waiting for us at hotel reception. We had a bit of a wait on the way at a security checkpoint so it was a long journey to get there. When we arrived the guide Hamy met us. First stop Karnak which was fantastic, lots of information from Hamy. It was quite busy. We then went for a lovely lunch at Paris Restaurant on the West Bank before visiting the Collosus of Memnon, the Valley of the King's. We paid $11 extra each to go in the tomb of tutankhamen which was small but worth it, then 3 other tombs which were included. Final stop after an alabaster shop was the temple of Hatshepsut which was also good.
Watch out for the hecklers trying to sell tat and the guides at the temples who will try to tell you stuff but then want paying. The trip back was shorter with no security check.Written 15 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Football FoodieBolton, UK671 contributionsThis is my third time to Hurghada so I'm always looking for new trips to do. I came across this one via Get Your Guide, but it's organised by Egyptra.
The price you cannot argue with. I paid £30 for Sunrise Quad Biking along the Sea & Mountains followed by The Giftun Island Snorkeling trip.
The whole day, from being picked up at 3.45am to being dropped off a bit after 17:00 ran like clockwork. Always good, as I've had lateness and no shows for several trips before-not with this company. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.
The Quad Biking was absolutely awesome. I've done the Bedouin one before and really liked it, but as I've done 3 different versions of that now, I fancied something different. This was in Makidi Bay and definitely not for first time Quad Bikers. I'm no expert, but on holiday I usually book a Quad Biking trip, so I'd say I'm experienced and boy did I need it.
You set off in the dark at a good pace, then as you hit the sand you're off. I just remember following the red light of the quad in front at great speed, not quite able to see fully, but using the back light to follow. It's absolutely exhilarating and you're up and down dunes... One dune was absolutely hugh.... Scarily Brilliant...just letting go and hoping for the best.
After I'd say at least 30 minutes, could had been much longer... I'd totally lost track of anything but controlling the quad.... we arrived by the sea as it was becoming lighter. We stopped here for say 15/20 minutes, and refreshingly the 2 guys used our phones to take loads of pics.... Hurghada is terrible for every trip being about selling you photos.... It costs a small fortune if you do several trips and can make a really good value day out twice the price.
We went further along the beach and came across a rocky area where we watched the sunrise. It was fantastic. We even did a bit of rock climbing 😬. Loads of pictures were taken by the guides again.
The ride back was easier as you could see better, but just as good, hitting more dunes, over and on the side aswell. It was just brilliant. Didn't want it to be over, but I'd say you did a good 90 minutes on the quads.
After, we swapped buses, to pick up other tourists for the Giftun Island Snorkeling trip. This went very smoothly apart from one no show, where we waited around for 30 minutes... I say, especially as this is pre paid for, give late tourists 10 minutes grace, if there not there, leave them. Not the companies fault.
The boat trip was really good and the weather was perfect for it, 25 degrees, and no wind-apart from the sea breeze was the absolute perfect weather for it.
The boat trip was good, but I am used to snorkeling morealess on my own or jumping from a boat and heading off snorkeling in my own area. For the snorkeling, literally 25-30 people were swimming in a pack, making for a poor snorkel and not so enjoyable. This is what the trip is and there was the safety to consider with different types of swimmers, so no complaints. I'll just not do this again as it's not how I like to snorkel. Any fish buzzed off well before I got there as loads of people had already disturbed them. Not their fault-they were doing exactly what I was doing-just way too many people for me.
The next snorkeling stop was shortly after-too shortly after-and I didn't join in with this one along with half the boat. Looking back, I wished I'd skipped the first snorkel and just went on the second one-but much like everyone else, you're dying to get in the water.
Giftun Island was really nice. We had a nice spot and it wasn't too crowded. A bit of snorkeling was enjoyed, but nothing too spectacular-I think I've done that much snorkeling now that my expectations can be a bit high-though I did think I'd see more than several fishes in this area. It was still a lovely hour spent there.
The lunch was pretty good to be honest, the soft drinks were there as and when you wanted them
The boat guys were a good bunch, some better than others, but really good in general.
There is the usual photograph guy, which I didn't participate in-you can tell those who haven't been to Hurghada before. Each to their own though.
The one thing that really got my back up was that before the first snorkel I was offered a wet suit-I'd showed zero interest in it and was very happy to swim in just my swim wear. Well, at the end of the trip, something was being said that I didn't quite understand, so just left them to it, I was relaxing. This this young guy-more of a child-had 5 euros in his hand waving it at me, asking me for 5 euros for the hiring of the wetsuit. I told him not a chance. He said a family had paid for theirs. I said more fool them. It got a bit heated and I swore directly at them saying that they would be getting XXXX all and if they're that bothered take it from the tip I just gave them. I'm glad I stood my ground, though I know a lot of people would had been intimidated by them. That's the thing with Egyptians, they try to squeeze every last penny out of you-don't let them. Be generous, but don't let them take the pxss, cause they will try.
This wasn't enough to ruin my day, and overall I had a cracking trip. The transfer back, once again ran like clock work and I was back at the hotel for 5.
I would definitely use Get Your Guide and Egyptra again.Written 9 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
