Often called the “Maldives of Egypt,” Paradise Found: Orange Bay & Giftun Island Snorkeling is the ultimate tropical escape from the mainland. Imagine a day where the only thing on your schedule is lounging on white powdery sands, swinging on wooden sea-swings in knee-deep turquoise water, and exploring the kaleidoscopic coral reefs of the Red Sea. This is a journey to a protected marine park where the blue of the sky meets a dozen different shades of sea.
Morning: Set Sail for Paradise Your day begins with a convenient pickup from your Hurghada hotel. You’ll be transferred to the marina, where you'll meet your friendly crew and receive your high-quality snorkeling equipment. As the yacht glides away from the coast (approx. 45–60 minutes), find a spot on the sun deck to enjoy the breeze and the panoramic views of the Red Sea’s islands.
Midday: The Orange Bay Experience We drop anchor at the pier of Orange Bay on Big Giftun Island. You’ll have approximately 2 hours of free time to enjoy this eco-friendly resort. Walk far out into the shallow sea on the soft sandy bottom, relax in a shaded cabana, or grab a drink at the wooden beach bar. The water here is so clear and calm it feels like a giant swimming pool, making it perfect for families and non-swimmers alike.
Afternoon: Exploring the Underwater Kingdoms Once back on board, the yacht heads to two different, hand-picked snorkeling sites. Each stop (approx. 45 minutes each) offers a different underwater landscape. At Shaab Sakala or El Aruk, you’ll float over "towers" of coral home to hundreds of species of tropical fish. Your professional snorkeling guide will be in the water with you to point out hidden marine life like blue-spotted rays or giant moray eels. Between stops, a delicious buffet lunch (including fish, chicken, pasta, and salads) is served on the deck.
Late Afternoon: Adrenaline & Return Before heading back to the marina, the crew often brings out the "Banana Boat" and "Sofa" for some high-speed fun on the water. As the sun begins its descent, enjoy a relaxing cruise back to Hurghada, arriving at your hotel in time for a quiet evening.
