Red Sea Day Excursion
Orange Bay Island Full-Day Boat Trip with Snorkeling and Water Sports
A full day of sun, sea, and coral reefs at the Red Sea's most celebrated island destination.
This Orange Bay Island excursion brings together white-sand beaches, coral reef snorkeling, and onboard dining into a single well-paced full-day trip from Hurghada's marina. The island is widely regarded as one of the most scenic natural spots along the Egyptian Red Sea coast. The experience is designed to suit a wide range of travelers, from first-time snorkelers to those simply looking for a relaxed day on the water.
The boat departs in the morning and reaches the island after roughly 40 minutes of sailing across the Red Sea. Once on shore, guests can walk the beach, swim in the shallow lagoons, or simply take in the scenery at their own pace. The calm, clear water around the island makes it easy to explore even without snorkeling gear.
After the island stop, lunch is served onboard before the boat moves to two designated snorkeling sites along different coral reefs. All necessary safety equipment is provided, so no prior experience is required. The afternoon closes with banana boat and sofa rides before the group heads back to the marina.

Spend free time on the white sandy beaches and swim in the shallow, crystal-clear lagoons of Orange Bay Island.
Snorkel at two separate coral reef sites and observe a wide variety of colorful marine life native to the Red Sea.
Safety equipment is included throughout the trip, making snorkeling accessible for beginners and non-swimmers alike.
Enjoy a freshly prepared lunch and soft drinks served onboard during the trip between island and reef stops.
Take part in fun water sports including banana boat and sofa rides in the warm Red Sea waters.
