Your journey

The experience

Your excursion starts early in the morning, at around 6:00 am, from the harbour in Hurghada — on board our high-quality boat.

Thanks to this especially early start, you're among the first guests on the island. This lets us deliberately avoid mass tourism and gives you a peaceful, exclusive stay on Orange Bay.

On board, you'll find comfortable seating and loungers — both in the shade and in the sun. There's plenty of room to relax, lie back and simply enjoy the stillness of the morning at sea.

Start earlier. Experience more calm. See Orange Bay at its best.

White sand, turquoise water and time to breathe.
