Orange Bay Island Snorkelling Cruise
Overview
A full day on the water: two reef stops, a white-sand island with clear shallows, and lunch cooked on board.
The most reliable good day out from Hurghada. Two snorkelling stops on live reef, then a couple of hours on Orange Bay's sandbar where the water is waist-deep and turquoise for a hundred metres out.
Equipment, instruction and lunch are all included. Non-swimmers are genuinely fine here — the island shallows do not go over your head.
Highlights
- Two live-reef snorkelling stops
- Orange Bay sandbar and shallow lagoon
- Buffet lunch on board
- Mask, snorkel and fins provided
