Orange Bay
White-sand island in the Giftun archipelago, 90 minutes out. Two snorkel reefs along the way, on-board lunch, shaded loungers on the island. The friendliest first-time day: calm water, sheltered reef, easy snorkel.

Best Sea Trips in Hurghada
Four boat trips, four very different days. Pick by reef quality, distance, family fit and what you want from the day.
Almost every visitor to Hurghada does at least one boat day. The four mainstream options - Orange Bay, Dolphin House, Hula Hula and Ozirea - look similar in a brochure and feel quite different on the water. Below is the honest comparison we give first-time guests on WhatsApp. Prices and durations are kept consistent across all locales on the site.
Dolphin House
Sha'ab El Erg, a horseshoe reef north of the city where wild spinner dolphins often rest during the day. Dolphin sightings are possible but never guaranteed. Even on a no-dolphin day the reef itself is among the best snorkel spots near Hurghada.
Hula Hula
A quieter Giftun island reached by smaller speedboat. Fewer crowds than Orange Bay, similar reef quality. Good fit for travelers who liked the idea of Orange Bay but want a calmer beach.
Ozirea Island
A premium full-day program: a newer island in the Giftun archipelago with an infinity pool, sunbeds, open-buffet lunch and shaded areas. The most facilities-heavy day of the four.
Weather caveat
Hurghada's marina can close for safety in strong wind, mostly in spring and winter. If your trip is cancelled by weather, we move it for free or refund you. Wildlife sightings (dolphins, turtles, rays) are possible but never guaranteed.

Häufige Fragen
Which sea trip is best for kids?
Orange Bay is the easiest with young children: shaded loungers, sheltered swim area, on-board lunch. Hula Hula is similar but the smaller boat is bumpier. Dolphin House and Ozirea are also family-friendly but the days are longer.
Can I do two sea trips in two days?
Yes. Two days back to back is fine. Three days in a row gets tiring because of the salt and sun.
