Is this tour suitable for children and non-swimmers?

Absolutely! The semi-submarine tour is designed for all ages, and no swimming ability is required as you remain dry in the comfortable viewing cabin throughout the underwater portion of the trip.

What is the difference between a semi-submarine and a submarine?

A semi-submarine remains partially above the water, with its lower deck submerged for underwater viewing. A full submarine completely submerges. Our semi-submarine offers excellent viewing and a comfortable experience.

What kind of marine life can I expect to see?

You can expect to see a diverse array of colorful coral formations, various species of Red Sea fish like parrotfish, clownfish, and angelfish, and potentially other marine creatures depending on the day and location.

How long is the actual underwater viewing time?

The duration of the actual underwater viewing session typically lasts around 45 minutes to an hour, allowing ample time to observe the stunning marine environment.

Do I need to bring anything specific for this tour?

We recommend bringing sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and a camera to capture the moments. Comfortable clothing is advisable, and bottled water is provided on board.

Is hotel pickup and drop-off included from all Hurghada hotels?

Yes, round-trip transfers are included from most hotels within Hurghada. Please provide your hotel name during booking for seamless arrangements.
