Orange Bay Island Trip Price
What an Orange Bay island trip from Hurghada costs: every option of the cruise, the beach day, the sea taxi and the yachts, per person, plus the fee and island extras.
An Orange Bay island trip from Hurghada costs from US$34.50 to US$75.50 a person on the shared options carded here (checked November 2026). The spread comes from three things: whether the hotel transfer is in the option, how far out your hotel is, and how long the day lasts. Royal Cruise Hurghada’s Luxury Cruise Trip to Orange Bay with Lunch, with the transfer, lunch and the marine fee in its price, is from US$59 a person (checked November 2026).
The short answer
Expect about US$40 to US$60 a person for a full Orange Bay day with the transfer from a Hurghada hotel, and more from the outer resorts. Every price is per person: two adults pay twice the figure and a family of four pays four times it. Then add what the price leaves out: the fee your listing excludes (EUR 5 per person on the Go Shalabi and Go Luxury trips; other listings state their own amount) and anything you buy on the island.
The calendar above is the cruise, with 7,249 reviews (checked November 2026). Pick a date and your party to see the price you would pay.
Every option, per person
Per-person prices (checked November 2026); the calendar shows the price for your date. The Go Shalabi and Go Luxury figures are rounded, because their dollar prices moved by cents between readings. The private-boat options are left out: they are priced per boat, not per person.
Of these, the cheapest way onto Orange Bay with a meal and snorkelling is Zanetta Tours’ beach day without transport, if your hotel is near the Moreno Horizon in Hurghada; with a shared transfer it is US$47.50, against US$59 for the cruise with pickup and a massage.
The crossing is part of what every option buys: the Orange Bay beach is about 8 km in a straight line from Hurghada Marina, on Giftun el Kebir.
What two adults or a family pay
Every option above is per person, and the price goes up in step with the party: two adults on the cruise from Hurghada came to US$118, two on the sea taxi’s 4-hour option about US$78 and two on Zanetta Tours’ beach day without transport US$69. These figures are for adults; pick your date and party on the calendar to see what a child costs.
What the price leaves out
The Nature Reserve Fee is EUR 5 per person, adult or child, on the Go Shalabi and Go Luxury trips, and not included there; on Royal Cruise Hurghada’s cruise, Zanetta Tours’ beach day and Miniature Egypt Hurghada’s cruise it is in the price. Egyptra Travel Services leaves out the “Admission Fee - Giftun Island National Park”, US$5.00 per person, on its option without entrance fees, and EGYPTOUS leaves out “Government Fees”, EUR 10.00 per person. No Egyptian authority’s page with a current Giftun fee amount was found (checked November 2026). For two adults on the sea taxi, that makes about US$78 plus EUR 10.
Food and drinks on the island are extra on every trip. Reviewers on Go Shalabi’s sea taxi report US$5 for a 300 ml soft drink and US$12 for a burger with chips (6 October 2026), and 650 Egyptian pounds for a cheeseburger with fries (7 September 2026); one found the island took cash only (20 October 2026). Photos are sold separately on several trips, and gratuities are not included on Zanetta Tours’ and Go Luxury’s. Snorkelling gear is not in the sea taxi’s price.
