A pale-blue horizon breaks over the Red Sea as the boat slips out of Hurghada’s marina, the city’s heat giving way to a steady sea breeze. Within an hour the shoreline thins and the water turns a striking turquoise; coral gardens pressure the surface with color and curious fish dart around fins. Guests step from deck into warm water at the first reef — masks fog and then clear, revealing plate corals and clownfish weaving through branching growth.

Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Sun is intense on the Red Sea; use reef‑safe SPF and reapply after snorkeling to protect skin and corals.
Wear water shoes for the island
Orange Bay has soft sand but some areas have broken coral; water shoes protect feet when entering and exiting.
Secure seasickness meds if prone
Boat rides can be choppy—take medication an hour before departure if you get seasick.
Protect phone and valuables
Bring a dry bag or leave valuables at the hotel—onboard space is limited and splash risk is high.
Mask & snorkel (if you have one)
Personal gear often fits better than rental equipment and reduces fogging.
