Dry Reef Trips for Safaga Guests

How a semi-submarine works

How a semi-submarine works

Not everyone on holiday in Safaga wants to put on a mask, and that is fine. A semi-submarine floats like a boat but has a deck below the waterline with large windows, so you sit in comfort while corals and fish pass by. It never dives under. Grandparents, small children and non-swimmers love it, and every trip on this page includes the ride from your Safaga hotel and back.

Sea Scope, Panorama and Nefertari

Sea Scope, Panorama and Nefertari

Three boats, three styles. The Sea Scope sails from Hurghada and adds an optional snorkeling stop in clear water. The Panorama runs in Makadi Bay, between Safaga and Hurghada, with big windows and an air-conditioned viewing deck. The Nefertari, also from Makadi Bay, is decorated in a pharaonic theme, with an underwater deck, a guided snorkeling stop, photos in ancient Egyptian costumes and a 3-course meal of seafood or chicken.

Private glass bottom boat

Private glass bottom boat

Want the view for your group only? The private glass bottom boat leaves from Hurghada with room for up to 8 people and spends 3 hours on the water. You look down through the glass floor, and anyone who wants can jump in at the reef stop. Photos and videos are not included on any of these trips. Your driver's time is sent on WhatsApp or Telegram once you have booked.
