Orange Bay From Hurghada Sea Trip

There is a reason Orange Bay is the most talked-about day trip from Hurghada. Turquoise water so clear you can see 45 metres down. A golden sandy beach ringed by wooden cabanas and bean bags. Two world-class snorkeling stops over vibrant Red Sea coral reefs. A freshly prepared buffet lunch on board. And a relaxed, hassle-free day from hotel pickup to hotel drop-off — everything handled, nothing to organise.

Our Orange Bay From Hurghada Sea Trip is the complete island day experience, built for maximum relaxation, incredible snorkeling, and the kind of views that make you extend your holiday.

Orange Bay Island — Giftun Island National Park

Orange Bay sits within Giftun Island National Park, one of Egypt's most protected marine areas and a UNESCO-recognised Red Sea reef system. The waters here are strictly regulated to preserve the coral — which is exactly why the reefs are so spectacular. You'll encounter living coral gardens, shoals of brightly coloured tropical fish, clownfish darting through sea anemones, spotted rays gliding through the blue, and if you're lucky, dolphins surfacing nearby.

The beach itself is one of the most beautiful in the entire Red Sea region: fine white sand, incredibly clear water that goes from turquoise in the shallows to deep blue offshore, and the dramatic rocky backdrop of Giftun Island rising behind the wooden beach structures. The island's facilities — wooden umbrellas, bean bags, sun loungers, cabanas, and an elevated terrace — make it feel more like a boutique beach club than a day trip.

Two Snorkeling Stops — 45-Metre Visibility

What makes the Orange Bay sea trip exceptional is the quality of the snorkeling. This isn't a single brief snorkel over a reef patch — you get two full snorkeling stops in some of the clearest water on Earth.

First Snorkeling Stop: About 45 minutes after leaving Hurghada marina, the boat anchors at a prime Red Sea reef for a one-hour snorkeling session. The visibility here regularly reaches 45 metres — on calm days you can see the reef bottom clearly from the surface. The marine life is extraordinary: chromis, parrotfish, angelfish, clownfish in their anemones, groupers, and the occasional turtle or ray drifting past below.

Second Snorkeling Stop: On the return journey near Hurghada, your guide leads a second snorkeling session over a different reef system — ensuring you see as many different coral formations and species as possible during the day.

All snorkeling equipment is included and provided on board: masks, fins, and life jackets. A snorkeling guide accompanies the group in the water to assist beginners and point out marine life highlights.

Orange Bay Island — Beach Time & Facilities

After the first snorkel, the boat arrives at Orange Bay Island. This is your beach time — completely free and unstructured. Swim in the shallows, walk the shoreline, photograph the stunning blue-to-white-sand gradient, use the beach facilities, or simply lie back under a wooden umbrella and do absolutely nothing except listen to the Red Sea.

The island facilities include shaded wooden umbrellas, beach bean bags, wooden sun loungers, and elevated wooden cabanas with ocean views. The architecture of the beach facilities is rustic and beautiful — all natural wood tones that blend with the desert rock backdrop of the island.

Buffet Lunch & Drinks On Board

As the morning's snorkeling ends and the boat makes its way to Orange Bay, your lunch is being freshly prepared on board by the boat's own kitchen team. The included buffet lunch features a selection of Egyptian and international dishes — salads, grilled proteins, Egyptian breads, and mezze — along with unlimited soft drinks and mineral water throughout the entire day.
