Spend a full day sailing from Hurghada to Orange Bay and the Giftun islands: white-sand beaches, guided snorkeling at two reef sites, an open buffet lunch, and chances to spot dolphins in the clear Red Sea.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The hull parts the Red Sea like an invitation—salt on the breeze, sun cutting glass across the horizon—as you leave Hurghada’s marina for Orange Bay. On deck, the sea stretches wide; land slips behind and the boat becomes a promise of white sand and reef-topped shallows. Step onto Orange Island and the sand greets you warm and fine, the water a bathtub-clear blue that invites a slow first swim.

Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply a biodegradable sunscreen before boarding and reapply sparingly from a towel—protects corals and keeps the water clear for everyone.
Prepare for motion
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication an hour before departure and choose a mid-ship seat where motion is least pronounced.
Check and fit snorkeling gear
Confirm mask fit and fin size during the briefing; a leaky mask wastes time and can spoil the experience.
Bring cash and a dry bag
Small tips for the crew and purchases on the beach are handy; a dry bag keeps phones and valuables safe while snorkeling.
