A full-day boat trip from Marsa Alam up to Hurghada's island chain, hopping between Orange Bay, Giftun and Hula Hula for snorkeling, reef views and beach time.

Hurghada's islands are a bit of a trek from Marsa Alam, but they're worth the early start. This trip strings together three of the best stops in one long day: Orange Bay's soft white sand for a proper beach break, Giftun's reef for some of the clearest snorkeling on this stretch of coast, and Hula Hula for a final swim before the ride back.

We handle transport both ways, so you can just show up, get on the boat, and let the day unfold. Expect time in the water at each stop, a chance to spread out on the sand at Orange Bay, and views of the Red Sea's island chain that you simply don't get from the Marsa Alam side.

It's a long day — this is Hurghada's coastline, not Marsa Alam's — but for travelers who want to see what all the fuss is about without switching hotels, this is the easiest way to do it in a single trip.
