An Uncrowded Alternative to Tour Boats
The main perk of this tour is escaping the busier, crowded boat trips often filled with snorkel stops and groups of travelers packed onto the same vessel. Instead, a private speedboat whisks you from Hurghada Marina directly to Orange Bay, a pristine slice of paradise on the Giftun Islands. The boat journey takes around 20 minutes, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the scenic views of the Red Sea without feeling rushed or crammed.
Travelers who’ve booked this note the advantage of choosing your departure time. You could arrive early in the morning for a peaceful sunrise or late in the afternoon for calmer waters and fewer visitors. Once at Orange Bay, you’re left to your own devices—whether that means lounging on sunbeds, taking a swim, or grabbing a bite at the restaurant.
The Private Beach Experience
Orange Bay is described as a paradise-like setting with soft sands, clear waters, and lush surroundings. Since this is a private beach, the space feels exclusive, and you don’t have to share the amenities with large crowds. The site offers sunbeds, umbrellas, and a bar—perfect for lounging without the noise and chaos of larger tour group beaches.
Reviewers often mention the stunning views—crystal-clear waters, vibrant marine life, and the feeling of being in your own secluded corner of Egypt. One guest commented, “You can go straight to the beach and leave any time you want,” highlighting the freedom of the schedule.
Amenities and Activities
While the main draw is relaxing, Orange Bay offers extra amenities like massage services, shisha cafes, toilets, lounge music, and a restaurant. These are optional extras, but they help make your stay more comfortable and enjoyable. The entry fee is included in the package, so no surprise costs when you arrive.
Snorkeling is a possibility, although activities are at your own expense and not included. If you’re into underwater life, the calm waters around the island are an ideal spot to paddle and explore marine life in peace.
Flexibility and Duration
What makes this experience stand out is its duration flexibility. Whether you want a quick 2-hour visit or a leisurely 8-hour beach day, you decide. This means you can tailor your schedule around other activities or simply indulge in a full day of relaxation.
One reviewer said, “Unforgettable memories. You can go straight to the beach and leave any time you want,” emphasizing how freeing this approach can be. The ability to leave early or stay longer without feeling rushed is a huge plus.
