The experience
The semi-submarine has large panoramic windows that wrap around the cabin, giving you a 360° view of the reef below. Colorful fish, coral formations, and other marine life pass by as the vessel moves through the water. Families, non-swimmers, and anyone who wants to see the underwater world without suiting up can book this tour. Infants can ride in a pram or stroller, and small children sit on an adult's lap during the descent.
Hotel pickup happens in an air-conditioned vehicle, and the driver brings you back the same way after the tour ends. The guide speaks English or Arabic throughout. At the time of booking, cruise ship passengers need to provide the ship name, docking time, disembarkation time and re-boarding time so the operator can time the pickup to your schedule. Contact the hotline one day before the tour to confirm your exact pickup time.
