TL;DR
Book excursions online in advance via trusted sites (like Empire or the official Albatros hotels site) rather than through a local resort guide, whose prices are the highest. Plane-based excursions run around $300 per person.
Another trusted option is the Tripster platform: excursion and transfer prices there are usually lower than through tour operators, there's a wide selection, and each excursion has genuine reviews (only actual bookers who attended can leave a review).
Booking several excursions in advance with a well-known operator (Albatros) sometimes gets you a free airport transfer as a bonus.
Plane-based excursions can be booked directly, but avoid buying through your resort guide — their offers are the most expensive.
As a price reference: a plane excursion (e.g. to Cairo/Luxor) booked through a tour operator cost around $300 per person.
Search Google for "Hurghada excursions" and use trusted results — the Empire agency site and the official Albatros hotel chain excursion site are top recommendations; avoid random unverified sites.
One traveler's good experience: booked three excursions online with a large, well-known company (including a swimming tour with an English-speaking guide), all went well, plus a free transfer to Senzo Mall as a bonus.
