Orange Bay Island Snorkeling — Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Orange Bay Island located?
Orange Bay is a white-sand island on Giftun Island, about 45–60 minutes by boat from Hurghada Marina. It's famous for its shallow turquoise lagoon and colorful coral reefs, making it one of the top snorkeling spots on the Red Sea.
How long does the Orange Bay snorkeling trip last?
The trip is a full-day experience lasting around 7–8 hours, typically from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, including hotel pickup and drop-off, two snorkeling stops, and free time on the island.
What is included in the trip?
The trip includes hotel transfers, boat ride, snorkeling equipment (mask, snorkel, and fins), a professional guide, an open-buffet lunch on board, soft drinks and water, and access to Orange Bay Island. National park fees may be paid separately depending on the package.
Do I need to know how to swim to join?
No. Non-swimmers can join the trip and enjoy the island's shallow lagoon. Life jackets are provided free of charge, and the guides assist beginners in the water at the snorkeling stops.
Is the trip suitable for children and families?
Yes. Orange Bay is very family-friendly thanks to its calm, shallow waters and sandy beach. Children of all ages are welcome, and kid-sized snorkeling gear and life jackets are available on board.
What marine life can I see while snorkeling?
The reefs around Orange Bay are home to hundreds of species, including clownfish, parrotfish, butterflyfish, angelfish, and sometimes sea turtles. Dolphins are frequently spotted along the way, though sightings can never be guaranteed.
What should I bring with me?
Bring your swimsuit, a towel, reef-safe sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and some cash for optional extras (photos, drinks, or souvenirs). An underwater camera or waterproof phone case is highly recommended.
What time is hotel pickup?
Pickup is usually between 7:00 and 8:00 AM depending on your hotel's location in Hurghada, El Gouna, Makadi Bay, or Sahl Hasheesh. The exact time is confirmed a day before the trip.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Trips run year-round, but if the sea conditions are unsafe, the trip is rescheduled to another day or fully refunded. The Red Sea enjoys sunshine most of the year, so cancellations are rare.
Can I cancel or reschedule my booking?
Yes. Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the trip. You can also reschedule to another date at no extra cost, subject to availability.

July 10, 2026The Orange Bay Island Snorkeling was easy to book and even better in person than it looked online. Timings were planned so that we reached the main sites before the crowds arrived. The whole team were warm and welcoming and nothing ever felt like a hard sell. A day we will be talking about for a long time.

June 14, 2026Ta wycieczka łatwo się rezerwuje, a na miejscu było jeszcze lepiej niż w opisie. Krajobrazy i świątynie robią jeszcze większe wrażenie niż na zdjęciach. W stosunku do ceny to bardzo dobra wartość. Jeśli się wahacie, rezerwujcie.

May 22, 2026I did the Orange Bay Island Snorkeling with my wife and we are both really glad we picked this one. Timings were planned so that we reached the main sites before the crowds arrived. Lunch was generous, freshly prepared, and they handled our dietary requests without any fuss. Thank you to the whole team for looking after us so well.

March 5, 2026Wir haben diesen Ausflug gebucht und es war das Highlight unserer Ägyptenreise. Die Zeiten waren so geplant, dass wir vor den großen Gruppen an den Sehenswürdigkeiten waren. Für diesen Preis war das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis hervorragend. Sehr empfehlenswert, besonders wenn man wenig Zeit in Ägypten hat.

December 30, 2025We hebben meerdere aanbieders vergeleken voordat we deze excursie kozen, en daar hebben we geen spijt van. Voor deze prijs is de kwaliteit uitstekend. Het landschap en de tempels zijn nog indrukwekkender dan op de foto's. Van begin tot eind goed georganiseerd.

December 21, 2025I travelled solo on the Orange Bay Island Snorkeling and never once felt out of place or rushed. Lunch was generous, freshly prepared, and they handled our dietary requests without any fuss. Pick-up was on time to the minute and the driver was careful and calm in traffic. Easily one of the best days of our holiday.
