Introduce your entire family to the magical marine wonders of Egypt with our classic Glass Bottom Boat Tour. Operating daily during all months of the year, this highly accessible 1-hour cruise is safely tailored for passengers aged 3 and up, making it the premier choice for families traveling with toddlers, parents, and seniors alike. To guarantee a personal, relaxed environment where everyone can get a prime view of the seafaring action, each tour maintains a strict maximum capacity of 20 passengers. If you are staying at a Sharm El Sheikh resort and want to show your children the beautiful marine ecosystems without the stress of deep diving, heavy oxygen tanks, or getting wet, this excursion offers a secure and effortless alternative.

Your shallow-water adventure begins at 14:00 PM as a comfortable, air-conditioned transport picks you up directly from your hotel lobby and transfers you straight to the local marina where the specialized vessels are moored. After a short wait on deck for the group to gather, your friendly local guide will escort you onto a brightly colored boat specifically engineered for reef viewing. These unique vessels are equipped with massive transparent viewing panels built right into the hull, measuring roughly 3.5 by 2 meters. As the captain guides the ship into a leisurely drift over the vibrant coastal shallows, these giant windows provide a clear look into a marine world filled with striking red, yellow, and green coral gardens.

During the cruise, you will float directly above ancient coral reefs, some of which are estimated to be over 20,000 years old, having curved over millennia into bizarre, fantastic shapes. The transparent floor reveals a bustling underwater community: you will watch long-spined sea urchins, graceful stingrays, and slow-moving moray eels gliding close to the glass, alongside flashing schools of clownfish, butterflyfish, surgeonfish, and massive Napoleon wrasse. Throughout the voyage, your professional instructor will point out rare species, sharing their names and behaviors to ensure an educational experience for children. After a thoroughly entertaining hour of drifting along the reef, the boat returns to the pier, and your air-conditioned vehicle will be waiting to drop you back at your hotel by 16:00 PM.
