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.

This was such a lovely trip - staff were polite & friendly fro the pick up at the hotel until I returned after. The boat itself was comfortable and it gave a beautiful window to sea life, with lots of fish to see of every shape & size, to the huge variety of corals. I could have sat there just looking forever! There was an opportunity to snorkel for those who wanted, including some brave young children! I would happily go again in the future!

Has a lovely morning, well worth the trip if you have children (or adults ) scared of snorkelling in the sea. You can also snorkel on this trip if you wish but all round lovely experience. Tub of Pringles £9 beware !!!!!

Views were great Guide explained that most of others on excursion were German speakers so he’d speak to them first then tell me separately in English. After telling me that he never spoke English throughout the whole excursion until it was time to ask for tips for boat staff just before exiting boat.

It was longer than we thought. Details said it was a 3 hour trip and it was nearly 5.

Bus drive was a very scary experience. Not enough seats on the boat and the seats were spinning around the whole time (if you were lucky enough to get one) Lots of waiting around as your guide chatted to other people

Very good views and would recommend. It isn't a glass bottomed boat! It's a semi submarine with glass on the sides when you go downstairs. It isn't a tour for claustrophobics. Maybe the tour needs renaming? We were much later getting back than expected. Not sure why. There was a lot of standing around as the guide seemed to have problems getting tickets for the tour.
