Tour description: Glass-Bottom Boat

A glass-bottom boat is the simplest and most accessible way to discover the underwater world of Sharm El Sheikh. Specially fitted glass or perspex in the hull turns the floor into a window: fish swim directly beneath your feet, corals grow all around, and sea urchins creep across the seabed. All of this without getting wet, without a mask, without any physical effort.

The trip lasts 2-3 hours, cruising along the most beautiful reefs in the bay. A guide narrates the marine life as you go. Children absolutely love it: they literally stand over the fish and can observe them up close. A wonderful option for a first sea experience or a great addition to a beach day.

There is nothing special to bring. Comfortable, light clothing. Trips run in the morning and afternoon.

For all group tours, a white Toyota minibus picks up guests - round-trip hotel transfer is included in the price.

⚠️ Important: Children aged 4 and under travel free. The exact pick-up time will be confirmed after booking.
🎒 What to bring: Water, a camera or phone for photos, and a good mood. Reef shoes optional.

The children were absolutely over the moon! Fish right beneath their feet - just incredible. Easy, relaxed and really enjoyable.

A brilliant option for anyone who doesn't want to get wet. You can see everything beautifully through the glass. Highly recommended!

We booked this excursion for my mother - she's 68 and not keen on getting in the water. What a great choice! You can see the corals and fish through the glass bottom right from your seat. Surprisingly beautiful - vivid corals and fish of every colour imaginable. The hour flew by. For those who don't swim, or for families with young children, this is the perfect way to experience the underwater world without getting wet.

Adam RossGroup · evening trip

I took the evening trip - it's fascinating to watch how the underwater activity changes as the light fades. The glass is spotless, visibility excellent. The fish come right up to the glass, as if they're used to the boat. The reefs are beautiful, the corals healthy and vibrant. A short trip - about an hour - but a rich one. Pairs nicely with a beach day. Well worth it as a holiday extra.

More about this tour

A glass-bottom boat is a simple and effective way to discover the underwater world of the Red Sea without equipment or any swimming skill. Directly beneath your feet, a glass or perspex panel opens onto the reefs, fish and corals below. Fish literally swim right under you, sometimes very close to the surface.

The route follows the most beautiful reefs in the bay of Sharm El Sheikh - areas with rich marine life and excellent visibility. The excursion is short (2-3 hours) and very accessible in price, making it the ideal option for those who want something different from a beach day but are not ready for a full yacht trip.

Best time to visit

The best time is in the morning, when the sun shines from above and creates excellent visibility. Available year-round.

Practical information

There is nothing special to bring. Light clothing is fine - swimwear is not needed, as swimming from this type of boat is not usually part of the itinerary.

Frequently asked questions

Can you swim from the boat?

Generally not - this is an observation boat, not a swimming trip. If you want to swim, we recommend choosing a yacht excursion instead.

What can you see?

Coral reefs, and fish including parrotfish, surgeonfish, clownfish (Nemo), barracuda, and occasionally sea turtles.
