Chouette journée
Joli plage avec une eau limpide, très peu profonde, idéale pour les enfants.
Snorkeling sympa mais ne pas s'attendre à des poissons tels qu'on les trouve en Polynésie ou aux Maldives.
Bateau et quipage très sympa. Très accessible même si on ne parle que l'Anglais très moyennement (niveau scolairel.

Magnifique plage
Accessible en bateau. Plage magnifique aux eaux turquoises.
Plage touristique.
Seul point négatif : prix exorbitant des consommations.

Bonita isla pequeña como el paraíso, pero se llena de gente
Las islas son preciosas pero se pone muy ocupado.
Visitamos orange bay como parte de un paquete de snorkel y buceo con sunrise aqua joys propia empresa de excursiones Global dive y tuvimos un muy buen día.
Después de una increíble experiencia de buceo nos dirigimos a la hermosa isla de Orange Bay. Tuvimos que subir a un bote pequeño para llegar a la isla y luego caminar por el muelle. Nos designaron una zona de estar y nos dieron 3 horas para disfrutar de nuestro tiempo.
La isla es hermosa, con un montón de fantásticas oportunidades de fotografía.
Lo único negativo es la cantidad de mosquitos, asegúrese de tomar spray para insectos y también lo atestado que puede llegar a estar. Tienes que esperar unos buenos 15 minutos + para tomar una foto, ya que todos los demás tienen la misma idea.
Sin embargo, volveríamos, así que eso demuestra que lo disfrutamos.

Très belle journée, magnifique expérience
Une journée bien rempli avec plusieurs activités. Vous commencez par partir en bateau direction orange bay, vous vous arrêtez une première fois pour 30min de snorkeling à côté des coraux, dans une mer presque transparente. Les guides vous mettent en confiance et sont là pour vous regardez. Vous repartez ensuite, puis vous vous arrêtez sur un autre spot de 30min.
Ensuite vous mangez le repas du midi qui était bon.
Ensuite direction orange bay, une île magnifique avec une eau transparente. Seul chose à redire, nous sommes rester 1h30 la bas et nous aurions aimer rester un peu plus. Mais cela était très bien.
Ensuite vous retourner au point de départ pour faire de la Banana Boat. Parfait

GO TO ORANGE BAY!
This is a mini Maldives. The water is clean and shallow for miles. There are various photo opportunities on the island to capture your moments there.
There is fresh mangos and mango juice on the island.
The prices of drinks are expensive, but that is to be expected as this island is extremely remote. That’s why I won’t knock it to a 4 rating, because if you’re expecting an island which is a boat journey away from civilisation to be cheap then that’s on you, no one lives on this island. It is extremely well preserved.
Each boat company or excursion company has their own strip of the beach with beanbags. Our excursion company had the first space which was great as it was a short walk to toilets and bars!
We came on a boat trip from our hotel in Makadi Bay, which started at 8:30am, where we made our way across the ocean towards the island with a single stop for snorkelling near the coral reefs.
We spent an hour and a half to two hours on the island before making our way back to the hotel, with another snorkelling stop, making it back at 4:30pm. This was €60 per person and worth every penny. The boat was very calm on the water, which was a relief because I was worried about sea sickness, which wasn’t an issue for anyone onboard. The boat also provided lunch for us! (It wasn’t the best food in the world, but it was alright and filled a hole). To actually get onto the island, we needed to get off out main boat which was anchored in the middle of the sea nearby with other boats. We got onto a small speed boat which was decently fast but again, not long or fast enough of a journey to cause sea sickness in the average person.
I think the trip to Orange Bay is shorter if you go from Hurghada, as it is closer.

Beautiful but packed
This was an overall nice day spent on the boat doing activities but it felt a bit like a money making scheme.
Pros:
- nice boat and crew for the most part (the captain was constantly screaming abuse at the crew)
- great experience snorkeling but due to the number of people it was less enjoyable
- orange bay beach was beautiful
- food was decent, as was the tea served along with Fanta, Coke, sprite and instant coffee
- we got some snacks and water bottles when we got on the boat
Cons:
- on the booking it says to be ready for pick up at 8:30, after booking we were told to be ready for 8:10. In the end they came at 8:30 so we all lost sleep
- we spent about 40 mins in the car driving around picking people up
- the snorkeling gear is of the MOT.basoc quality
- you'll be herded as a group the entire day, the only free time will be on the island and even that is strongly recommended to be confined to a specific area with a specific bar they get commission from, all in USD, all cash, expensive cocktails
- we only had an hour and a half or so in the actual island which was the entire point so it was very short. You either swim and take pics or chill with a drink but no time for both
- we didn't receive any more water after the initial bottle at 9am and the trip ended at 16:00
- due to the boat being crowded and overbooked, the water activities at the end were completely cancelled in order to get everyone off the boat quickly before the inspector arrived
- we ended up then waiting for 15 minutes in the hot sun for our ride back to the hotel because they were not prepared
- a lot of time was spent taking in water videos and photos offered but at expensive prices,I wanted one or two underwater videos as a souvenir and was told it would be €40 whereas I have friends that have all gotten some for €10, beware
- local ice cream that costs LE30 was offered for $3 USD
Overall it was a nice day, but I don't think I'd do it again. All of the tourist trap moments and cancellations/changes/ delays really made the experience less and less enjoy. The tour guide also wasn't present with us after the water bottles were handed out after getting on the boat, didn't hear from him again except to ask for reviews which were asked for along with tips before they informed us that the water sports activities were cancelled and we'd be taken back to the port. The contact who organised it did call one of us to offer the water sports for the next day as a recompense but it was a Monday and we were leaving. He was apologetic.

Amazing day out in Hurghada
Great experience all the crew and staff were extremely friendly and helpful, smiling at all times. Amazing value for the money as you are taken out for pretty much the whole day from morning until evening. 10/10 would recommend for everyone visiting Hurghada
