White sand and a shallow turquoise lagoon off Hurghada, reached from El Gouna on the boat that suits you.
Ask guests in El Gouna about their best sea day and many will name Orange Bay. This island spot off Hurghada, in the protected Giftun islands, has soft white sand, a shallow turquoise lagoon and coral reefs close by. You can swim, lie on the beach or snorkel, and most trips stop twice at a reef. The day begins when our driver takes you from your hotel to the boats at the marina in Hurghada.
There are six ways to get there. The classic snorkeling trip is the favorite. The Elite VIP boat has a spacious deck for more comfort, and the pirate sailing boat is a hit with children. Curious about diving? One trip adds an optional first dive with an instructor. You can also pair Orange Bay with Magawish Island, or hire a private speed boat for your group alone.
What to pack: swimwear, a towel, sunscreen and sunglasses, as beach towels are not provided. Lunch, drinks and snorkeling gear differ from boat to boat, and on the private speed boat the Orange Bay entrance fee is paid on site. We send the exact pickup time for your El Gouna hotel by WhatsApp or Telegram.
