Highlights

Beach time on Orange Bay, Giftun Island
Two snorkelling stops on the way
Lunch and soft drinks on board
Great value for families

Orange Bay is the postcard everyone brings home from Hurghada: a curve of white sand on Giftun Island, a wooden jetty and water that shifts from pale turquoise to deep blue within a few metres.

The boat stops at two reefs on the way, where the crew helps everyone into the water and keeps an eye on beginners. Then it is beach time on Orange Bay, with sunbeds, shade and a beach bar for cold drinks.

This is a popular, sociable trip. For a quieter day with fewer people on board, look at our smaller-group island trips, or ask us about a private boat.

Very well organised, honest prices and no hard selling. We booked a second tour the next day.

Lovely day out. The lunch was better than expected and the reef was beautiful. Bring cash for the park fee.
