If you are always curious about underwater life, be sure not to miss this glass-bottom boat tour in the Hurghada Red Sea.

Enjoy the amazing underwater scenery without being a professional diver. The tour starts from Hurghada New Marina and without having to get wet, you can sit comfortably as the boat cruises around the Red Sea so you can explore the sea's underwater treasures with the beautiful corals and fishes. You’ll be amazed by the water clarity, the richness of the coral formations, and the variety of colorful tropical fish that you are viewing via the boat's transparent bottom. The glass-bottom tour takes approximately 45 minutes plus a snorkeling stop for about half an hour for people fond of snorkeling.

The guide was friendly, spoke well and accommodated everyone. Viewing the fish underwater was cool, and the boat was clean with working toilets. However, there was so much upselling and pressure to tip that it became unpleasant. The trip is already expensive, so I don’t want to feel pressured to tip on top. Hearing crew comment on my supposedly private tip to the guide left a very negative impression and wasn’t a great end to the trip. Get a cheaper trip elsewhere - wouldn’t recommend this one

Really enjoyed the trip and the rep Meany was really good and knowledgeable. We was lucky enough to see a sea turtle.

Auf dem Boot war Abzocke 15 Euro für 2 Bier und ein Schoko Riegel.

Insgesamt eine schöne Tour. Es gibt die Möglichkeit zu Schnorcheln oder auf dem Boot zu bleiben. Leider am Ende die unschöne Überraschung, dass 2 Eis für die Kinder 10€ kosten. Ich finde so etwas sollte vorher besser kommuniziert werden.

Service an sich gut. Aber Fische sah man nur die ein und selben, also weniger aufregend. Eis sollte man den Kids auch nicht unbedingt kaufen, keine richtige Kühlkette. Das Schnorcheln war echt super! Die Kids werden super begleitet und es wird aufgepasst. An Bord werden Fotos gemacht und man hat kaum die Möglichkeit diese Fotos und die dazugehörigen Fotoalben NICHT zu kaufen. Sehr aufdringlich.

Leuke ervaring voor mijn zoon van 7 jaar. Heel veel staff op de boot die wel heel behulpzaam zijn. Er was nog een korte snorkelstop die leuk was en de snorkel was inclusief.. Er was wel wat verwarring over een drankje na het snorkelen. Veel mensen dachten dat aangeboden was en uiteindelijk toch betalend. Maar dat was het enige. Overal een leuke ervaring.
