How a semi-submarine works

How a semi-submarine works

Not everyone wants to put on a mask. Maybe you travel with toddlers, a grandparent or a friend who never learned to swim. On a semi-submarine you sit in a deck below the water line and watch coral and fish through big windows, while the boat stays at the surface. For guests in El Gouna, it is the easiest reef trip for the whole family.

Sea Scope, Panorama and Nefertari

Sea Scope, Panorama and Nefertari

Three boats are on offer. The Sea Scope sails from the marina in Hurghada and adds a snorkeling stop for anyone who wants to swim. The Panorama semi-submarine cruises in Makadi Bay with an air-conditioned underwater deck. The Nefertari, also from Makadi Bay, is a pharaonic-themed boat with an underwater deck, costume photos, guided snorkeling and a 3-course meal. We drive you there from El Gouna.

The fourth trip is private: a glass bottom boat for up to 8 people, 3 hours long, where you watch fish through the glass floor and can jump in at a snorkeling stop. Pickup and drop-off at your El Gouna hotel come with all four trips. The tour pages list everything that is included, and your pickup time arrives by WhatsApp or Telegram after booking.
