Private Boat Trips out of Hurghada
Orange Bay Island Private Boat Trip from Hurghada
Description
Orange Bay Island private boat trip from Hurghada gives you a full day on the Red Sea, with two snorkeling stops and around two hours on the island. Around Giftun Island, the water lets you look for reef fish and coral from the surface. With a private boat, your group has more space and can keep to a quieter pace than on a larger shared excursion.
Your day starts with a transfer from Hurghada to the marina, where you board the private boat with the crew. Once you leave the coast, you can sit on deck, watch the open sea and enjoy sunbathing on a boat cruise before the first swimming stop. The crew goes over the basic safety points and helps you get ready for the water.
The two snorkeling stops are chosen according to the conditions that day. At each one, you can enter the water to see colorful fish, coral formations and other small Red Sea marine life. You do not need previous snorkeling experience, but you should feel comfortable in the water. Life jackets and snorkeling equipment are provided, while travellers who would rather stay aboard can relax on the boat.
After snorkeling, the boat continues to Orange Bay Island, where you have around two hours on shore. The island has a white sand beach and shallow water near the beach, giving you time to slow down after the morning at sea. Walk along the sand, sit beneath a shaded area where available, swim close to shore or look across the Red Sea. It is a simple chance to enjoy and see an amazing white sand beach without fitting in another attraction.
Lunch is served while you are at Orange Bay. It gives you a proper break between the boat journey and the return trip, and drinks and personal snacks can be arranged according to your needs. The schedule allows for a relaxed visit, without rushing from the beach back to the boat. After lunch and free time, you return to the private boat and sail back towards Hurghada.

This excursion suits couples, families and small groups who want to enjoy a relaxing day away from the hotel pool. Children can join with close adult supervision, particularly near the boat edge, marina and water. The trip is less suitable for travellers with significant mobility difficulties, as boarding the boat may involve steps and the island beach can be uneven. Tell our team about any mobility, dietary or swimming concerns before the excursion so we can explain the arrangements clearly.
We organise the transfer, marina arrangements and boat schedule, leaving you to focus on the sea and island. Bring swimwear, a towel, sun protection, a hat and secure footwear for the beach and boat. Departure time depends on your pickup location and the day's operating conditions, so our team confirms the details before travel.

Your Itinerary
Our team collects you from your Hurghada hotel and transfers you to the marina, where you board your private boat. After a short briefing, the captain heads out across the Red Sea towards Orange Bay Island. Settle on deck during the cruise, enjoy the sea air and spend quiet time sunbathing on a boat cruise before the first swim stop.
The boat anchors at two suitable snorkeling areas during the crossing. At each stop, you can enter the water with your guide and look for reef fish and coral, with time to swim at a pace that feels comfortable. After snorkeling, continue to Orange Bay Island and spend around two hours on its shore. Walk along and see an amazing white sand beach, relax by the water, or simply enjoy a relaxing day away from the mainland.
Lunch is served during the island visit, giving you time to eat before returning to the boat. Once back at the marina, our driver takes you to your Hurghada accommodation for drop-off. The exact timing can change with sea conditions and the day’s operating schedule.
