A Hurghada submarine tour is the ultimate way to discover the Red Sea without getting wet.Not everyone is a strong swimmer, but that does not mean you have to miss out on the incredible underwater world of the Red Sea. Captain for Trips offers two unique tours that allow you to experience the magic of coral reefs and tropical fish without needing to swim or snorkel.
Submarine Tour – Dive Into the Deep Without Getting Wet
The Submarine tour is a one-of-a-kind experience that lets you explore vibrant coral reefs and tropical fish through large windows while seated comfortably inside a real submarine. No swimming skills are needed, making it perfect for all ages including young children and elderly travelers. The tour lasts 45 minutes and starts from just $20 per person. It is one of the most accessible ways to witness the stunning biodiversity of the Red Sea up close.
Private Glass Boat Tour – Coral Reefs from Above the Water
The Private Glass Boat tour offers a different kind of underwater viewing experience. The boat features a transparent glass bottom that acts like a window to the sea below, allowing you to watch colorful fish and stunning coral formations without entering the water. This 2-hour private tour is perfect for families and starts from $169. The boat is clean and comfortable, and knowledgeable guides provide fascinating insights about the Red Sea marine life throughout the trip.

If you are looking for a longer, more immersive underwater experience at an affordable price, the Submarine tour is a fantastic choice. For families who want a private and comfortable experience, the Private Glass Boat tour delivers luxury and exclusivity. Both tours are bookable directly through Captain for Trips at captainfortrips.com, and both come with the company’s guarantee of professional service, safety, and unforgettable memories on the Red Sea.
