Overview

Sail to Orange Bay for a perfect Red Sea day—two guided snorkeling stops, chill time on the sandy lagoon, lunch & soft drinks, and door-to-door transfers. Choose a small-group boat or upgrade to a private yacht for your crew.

Discover the turquoise shallows and powder-soft sandbars of Orange Bay (Giftun Islands) on a relaxed full-day cruise from Hurghada. We collect you from your hotel, fit you with sanitized snorkel gear, and cruise to two colorful reef sites where your guide leads safe, easy swims for all levels. Afterward, we moor at Orange Bay for free time on the beach—swim, sunbathe, or take photos at the famous over-water swings. A fresh lunch is served on board with water, tea, coffee, and soft drinks available all day. Shade, toilets, and ladder access make the boat comfortable for families. Prefer privacy? Charter your own yacht and set the pace with a custom playlist and flexible timings.
