The experience

You're picked up from your hotel and driven to the boat jetty, then board for a cruise along the Red Sea. The glass bottom panels let you watch brightly colored fish swim past and see the coral reefs alive with color and marine life below: all without leaving your seat or getting wet. This is the core of the experience: the underwater world visible from above the surface, the way the reef changes as the boat moves, the density of fish around the coral structures.

The boat is air-conditioned, and your guide travels with you, speaking English, Spanish or Arabic depending on the group. At the end of the cruise, you're transferred back to your hotel. The whole outing takes about 4 hours from pickup to return. Public transportation options are available nearby if you prefer to make your own way to the jetty instead.
