About this tour
This 8-hour Red Sea boat trip from Hurghada takes you to Orange Bay, where soft sand beaches and thriving coral gardens meet calm turquoise water. After hotel pickup, you'll board a comfortable vessel for two guided snorkeling sessions among schools of tropical fish and reef formations, with breakfast served onboard and a hot lunch prepared mid-day. The pace is relaxed—swim when you want, lounge on deck or beach when you don't—before cruising back to your hotel as afternoon light settles over the water.

What to expect
You'll be picked up early from your Hurghada hotel and driven to the marina. Once aboard, breakfast arrives as the boat motors out to the reef. Expect about 45 minutes to an hour of actual snorkeling time spread across two stops—your guide will point out resident species and navigate you to the healthiest coral sections. Between dives, you'll have downtime on the boat or ashore. Lunch is a casual buffet setup on deck. Water is warm and visibility typically runs 15–25 meters. Even novice swimmers find the reef accessible, though sea conditions can vary day to day.
Good to know
Park entrance fees (€10) and transfers from nearby resorts (€10) are paid separately in cash at pickup. Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a rash guard to minimize sun exposure. The boat rocks moderately in open water; take seasickness medicine beforehand if prone. Infants have access to specialized seats.
