Watch fish and coral from behind glass: a reef day for Soma Bay guests who would rather not swim.
Not everyone on holiday in Soma Bay wants to put their face in the water, and that is fine. A semi-submarine has a deck below the waterline with large windows, so you sit in comfort while coral and fish pass by. The boat never goes under, which makes it a calm choice for small children, older travelers and non-swimmers. All trips here include pickup at your Soma Bay hotel.
Three boats offer this view. The Sea Scope sails from the marina in Hurghada and has a snorkeling stop for anyone who wants to swim. The Panorama semi-submarine runs in Makadi Bay, between Soma Bay and Hurghada, with an air-conditioned underwater deck. The Nefertari, also in Makadi Bay, is styled like a pharaoh's boat, with an underwater deck, costume photos, a guided snorkel and a 3-course meal.
If you would rather have a boat for your own group, the private glass bottom boat takes up to 8 people for 3 hours, with fish watching through the glass floor and one snorkeling stop. Each page shows what is included. We send your pickup time for Soma Bay on WhatsApp or Telegram after you book.
