Semi Submarine Underwater Tour from Hurghada, Safaga, Soma Bay, Makadi & El Gouna
Discover the living coral kingdoms of the Red Sea without getting wet.
The semi submarine Red Sea tour offers a rare opportunity to observe the thriving coral reefs and tropical marine life of the Red Sea from a comfortable, air-conditioned viewing cabin fitted with large panoramic windows. Suitable for all ages and swimming abilities, this excursion requires no diving certification and no prior experience. It is one of the most accessible ways to witness the underwater world that has made this coastline famous among nature enthusiasts worldwide.
Departing from hotels across Hurghada, El Gouna, Safaga, Makadi Bay, and Soma Bay, the journey takes you directly to some of the most pristine reef systems in the region. Guests are seated in personal swiveling chairs positioned alongside wide underwater windows, allowing unobstructed views of coral formations and the abundant fish species that inhabit them. The seating arrangement ensures that every passenger has a clear line of sight throughout the voyage.
An optional short snorkeling stop is included for those who wish to enter the water and experience the reef more directly. Towels are recommended for this portion of the excursion. Photography and video are permitted and encouraged throughout the tour, and the slow pace of the vessel gives ample time to capture detailed images of the marine environment below.
The reefs visited during this tour are part of an ancient ecosystem that has developed over thousands of years. Guests are reminded not to touch or stand on the coral at any point, as physical contact causes lasting damage to these fragile structures. The crew maintains a responsible approach to reef access in line with marine conservation standards.
