Semi-Submarine + Snorkeling + Parasailing in Hurghada

What Awaits You

A submarine is a semi-submersible boat with panoramic portholes at a depth of about 3 meters. The vessel does not submerge. Corals and fish are observed through the panoramic windows of the lower deck.

During the boat trip there is a snorkeling stop in the open sea at a reef. Another part of the program is parasailing: a parachute flight behind a boat that offers a beautiful view of the sea and the coast of Hurghada.

If you only want the flight without the semi-submarine and snorkeling, choose the regular parasailing in Hurghada. If you'd like to combine the semi-submarine with island time, check out the Semi-Submarine + Orange Bayexcursion. For a relaxed underwater view without parasailing, also consider the glass-bottom boat in Hurghada.
