About 7 hoursOrange Bay Yacht Trip in Hurghada
The shallow, absurdly clear turquoise strip on Giftun's northern side, with two reef stops on the way out. Shorter and gentler than the Mahmya day — the water at Orange Bay stays waist-deep a long way out, which makes it the easy one for families and non-swimmers.

Good to Know
The practical truth about this one — timings, conditions, and what we can’t promise.
- Forty-five to sixty minutes each way, and around two hours on the island.
- The shallow, clear water is the whole point — this is the trip for families, nervous swimmers and anyone who wants the photo without the depth.
- Shade on the sandbar is limited. Bring a hat, and reef-safe sunscreen.
- Do Orange Bay and Giftun/Mahmya on separate days rather than trying to combine them — they're different trips to different sides of the same island.
