About this tour
Experience the breathtaking marine world of the Red Sea on a Semi‑Submarine trip from Sharm el-Sheikh, where you can explore vibrant coral reefs and tropical fish without getting wet. After a comfortable hotel pickup, you'll board a semi‑submarine featuring a submerged observation cabin with panoramic windows — the perfect spot for all ages, including non-swimmers. Relax in an air‑conditioned seat as the vessel glides below the surface, revealing a dazzling underwater kaleidoscope of coral gardens, exotic fish, and sea plants.
Then ascend to the top deck for a gentle cruise back, breathing in the sea breeze and enjoying stunning views of Sharm El Maya Bay and its rocky surroundings. This is the ideal family-friendly excursion for anyone who wants a safe, awe-inspiring taste of the Red Sea’s underwater ecosystem.
Itinerary, stop by stop
- Start
After pick-up from your accommodation in Sharm El Sheikh, you are transferred in a private, air-conditioned vehicle to the marina, where your guide and the crew welcome you on board the semi-submarine.
- Stop 1
Underwater Viewing Cabin
Once on board, you go down into the submerged cabin and take a seat facing the large panoramic windows. From here you look into the clear water of the Red Sea, with coral reefs and brightly colored tropical fish swimming past.
The semi-submarine usually reaches a depth of about three meters below the surface, so you see the marine life up close while staying safe and dry.
- Stop 2
Upper-Deck Cruise
After the underwater part, the semi-submarine surfaces and you move up to the top deck. You enjoy the sea air and the views of Sharm El Maya Bay, with the mountains of the Sinai coast behind it.
This quiet part of the cruise gives you time to take photos of the coastline and look out over the open sea.
- End
When the cruise is over, you leave the boat at the marina, and your guide takes you to the air-conditioned vehicle for the return to your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh.
