It’s a sea trip to the island with orange-colored sand surrounded by turquoise, azure and bright blue sea waters like in the Maldives. If you want to be mesmerized by such a stunning combination of colors and go snorkeling, this excursion will be your perfect choice!
Picturesque landscapes of the Orange Bay island are complemented by wooden swings standing right in the water. They are one of the most popular photo spots of the island, so impressive photos are guaranteed. After taking pictures, travelers will go snorkeling by coral reef to see colorful underwater gardens, as well as turtles, moray eels and other inhabitants of the reef in detail.
The tour starts from Hurghada Marina. Tourists get to Orange Bay Island by a comfortable yacht with a restaurant on the lower deck where they can have light meals, a cup of tea or coffee while they are cruising. The upper deck is devoted to sunbathing and relaxation.
And the first stop on the itinerary is Orange Bay island, named so because of the color of the rocks and sand. The sea here is also special, the color of the waves is almost the same as in the Maldives. The reason is seaweeds, which give the water a specific hue.
On the beach of Orange bay island travelers can relax, sink into bean bag chairs while sipping a cocktail or two, swim in the sea, do some sunbathing and take great pictures. For example, they can pose, sitting on wooden swings in the sea.
After a restful stay on the beach, you can get a boost of emotions while snorkeling which is preceded by a detailed briefing because safety rules always matter and seeing marine animals, various plants and corals requires certain carefulness. For this reason an instructor accompanies tourists during underwater swimming as well.
Snorkeling by coral reefs is a great chance to see the endangered humphead wrasse also known as the Napoleon fish because of a hump on its forehead and thick lips. However, seeing particular fish species and animals is a matter of luck, the natural environment is unpredictable, so you never know who will swim in front of you this time.
After snorkeling, tour participants are offered lunch with seafood, shrimps and fish or chicken on board the yacht. Such a meal will be a perfect ending of the sea voyage.
