We did a boat trip here and snorkelled with the fish. we were the only boat which meant we had the place to ourselves. loads of marine life and colourful corals to see.

We picked a windy day to go to Paradise Island and that turned out to be a huge mistake. It's a pretty expensive, whole day trip and it was really cold on the boat - so cold I chickened out and didn't go snorkling. In fact, my whole family decided not to get into the water, for which our guide... More

great relaxing spot, shame about the snorkling not much new to see that ya cant see from your local beach

Booked through Thomas Cook/Bright Sky Travel. Cost £117 for two. This excursion was not the advertised trip on the printed list but offered as an alternative when booking.

The lunch was delicious, the boat trip for snorkelling fantastic, and the beach was pure... More

Unfortunately it was very windy and quite rough so we went out in the afternoon to snorkel off a reef but the water was very choppy so we stayed in the boat. In hindsight we would have been better staying on the island. A great treat was on the way back to Hurghada we saw a family of dolphins, 2... More
