A boat excursion to Orange Bay in Hurghada is a unique adventure for all lovers of outdoor activities at sea. Orange Island is located just a few miles from Hurghada by sea. The location received this name due to the beautiful color of the water, and in the light of the evening sun it turns orange.
The excursion begins from the moment you are picked up by a transfer that will take you to the pier. Next, the staff will escort you to the yacht, and the guides will help you get settled on the ship, take photos and provide instructions before departure.
On the way to the island, you can admire the beauty of the Red Sea, enjoy the clean air, and make a couple of stops at beautiful reefs for snorkeling or diving. When you arrive at Orange Island, you are in paradise for both shore and sea holidays.
