Description

Hurghada submarine and snorkeling excursion takes you below the Red Sea in the Sindbad Submarine, then gives you time to see the water from the surface. The submarine descends to 22 metres, or 72 feet, and its large viewing windows bring coral formations and passing fish into view. You do not need diving experience for this trip.

Our team collects you from your hotel in Hurghada and arranges the transfer to the departure point. Once aboard, the Sindbad Submarine carries up to 44 passengers and has two captains on its crew. The cabin is set up for underwater viewing, so you can stay seated and watch the reef without scuba equipment or entering deep water.

During the main dive, you spend around 50 minutes viewing life underwater at a depth of 72 feet, or 22 metres. The Red Sea is known for clear water, coral gardens and many small reef fish, although visibility and marine life vary with the day’s conditions. Look through the windows for changing reef colours, fish moving between coral heads and the light shifting above the submarine.

The submarine ride is the centre of the excursion, followed by time to experience the Red Sea from the surface. You can swim, float and look down into the shallows at your own pace, subject to sea conditions and the arrangements for the day. Travellers who prefer to stay dry can remain with the submarine experience, while confident swimmers may enjoy seeing the reef from both viewpoints.

The day follows a simple order: hotel pickup, transfer to the submarine, safety instructions, the underwater voyage and time for snorkeling before the return transfer. Your tour team handles the practical details and explains where to go at each stage. The trip suits families and first-time visitors who want to see the Red Sea without committing to a scuba diving course or a full-day boat excursion.

Wear comfortable clothing and bring swimwear if you plan to snorkel. The submarine cabin suits travellers who do not swim, while the snorkeling section requires you to feel comfortable in the water. Families should supervise children closely around the sea and follow the crew’s instructions. Travellers with limited mobility should contact us before booking, as reaching the vessel and moving between the shore and boat may involve steps.

Booking this excursion with our team keeps the day straightforward. We arrange the hotel pickup and drop-off, coordinate the submarine experience and explain the meeting points and order of activities. Snorkeling equipment is provided when included in the local arrangements, but you should confirm the current details before departure. Bring sun protection, a towel, drinking water and any personal medication you need during the trip.
