Overview

Escape to Orange Bay, Hurghada's own "Egyptian Maldives" - a postcard-perfect island of powder-soft white sand and impossibly clear turquoise water. This full-day yacht trip blends beach relaxation, two snorkeling stops over living coral reefs, and a generous open buffet lunch served on board.

Hotel Pickup & Setting Sail
Your day starts with a convenient pickup from your Hurghada hotel and a short transfer to the marina. Meet the friendly crew, collect your snorkeling gear, and cruise out across the Red Sea toward Orange Island.

Two Hours on Orange Bay
Step ashore for around two hours on the island's soft sandy beach. Swim in the shallow turquoise lagoon, stroll along the shoreline, or simply relax under the sun in one of the Red Sea's most photogenic settings.

Snorkeling the Coral Reefs
Back on board, sail to the first snorkeling site and slip into an underwater world of colorful fish and vibrant coral gardens. Your snorkeling instructor points out the best spots and keeps beginners at ease.

Open Buffet Lunch on Board
Savor a freshly prepared open buffet lunch on the yacht - a spread of hot dishes, salads, and seasonal fruit - with unlimited soft drinks, tea, and coffee as you take in the sea views.

A Second Reef & the Journey Back
After lunch, the yacht moves to a second snorkeling spot teeming with marine life before setting course back to the marina, where a transfer returns you to your hotel.
