Excursion Description
Glass-Bottom Boat in Hurghada — a private sea trip for a family or group of up to 8 people. The boat departs from the Sheraton area, so the program is compact, with no long wait times and no other guests on board.
During the trip you go out into the Red Sea, relax on board, view the water and reefs through the glass bottom, and can optionally stop for snorkeling. The route can be discussed in advance: a relaxed sea trip, reefs for swimming, White Island if you like, and a chance to see dolphins.
This is a great option if you don't want to spend a whole day on a big yacht. The program lasts about 4 hours — enough to enjoy and swim in the sea and take great photos. It's especially convenient for families with children, groups of friends, and anyone who wants a private trip on the Red Sea.
