Semi Submarine Underwater Tour from Hurghada

Explore the Red Sea's vibrant marine world without ever getting wet


The Semi Submarine Underwater Tour offers a rare window into the Red Sea's most celebrated coral gardens and marine life, all from the comfort of a climate-controlled cabin. Large panoramic windows and personal swiveling chairs place you face-to-face with a living reef ecosystem that stretches below the surface. This tour departs from multiple locations including Hurghada, Safaga, Soma Bay, Makadi, and El Gouna, making it accessible to visitors across the region.

Guests settle into the air-conditioned lower deck as the vessel glides above coral formations teeming with reef fish, sea turtles, and other native marine species. The panoramic windows provide an unobstructed view, ideal for photography and video without the need for diving experience or special equipment. Each visit is designed to be relaxing, informative, and suitable for all fitness levels.

An optional short snorkeling stop is included for those who wish to enter the water and experience the reef more directly. Participants are reminded not to touch or stand on the corals, as the reef ecosystem is fragile and protected. Bringing a towel is recommended if you plan to take part in the snorkeling segment.
