Orange Bay is one of those places that looks edited, even when it isn't. Pale sand, a shallow lagoon and water in every shade of turquoise, all a boat ride away from Hurghada.This full-day trip gives you the beach and the reef in one go. We pick you up from your hotel around 8:00 AM and take you to the marina, where the crew welcomes you on board. From there it is a relaxed sail out to the Giftun Islands National Park.You get about two hours on the island to swim, stroll along the shoreline or simply lie back on the sand. Between beach time, we stop at two snorkeling spots. Our guide sets you up with mask, snorkel and fins and is there to help. Never snorkeled before? No problem. Life vests are available, and the guide will walk you through the basics.Lunch is served on board as an open buffet, with soft drinks, tea and coffee included throughout the day. Around 25 guests join the trip on a large, comfortable boat, so the day feels relaxed rather than rushed. You are back at your hotel around 4:00 PM.Bring sunscreen (reef-friendly if you have it), a hat, a towel and swimwear. The route and the order of stops can change slightly with weather and sea conditions, and the captain makes the final call.
