Description
Seascope Hurghada is one of the most popular short excursions amongst visitors to the city. The seascope Hurghada has been specially designed to allow children and people who cannot swim to enjoy exploring the underwater world of the Red Sea and its many inhabitants without even having to dive in the water. The glass boat (its second name) has two levels: the upper level is a spacious promenade deck where all guests will be able to enjoy a walk on the sea and the fresh sea breeze, while the lower deck, which is equipped with huge glass illuminators with perfect visibility, is underwater. Glassboat tour in Hurghada is a great opportunity to explore the gorgeous underwater world, its flora and fauna without getting splashed.
Our trip will start at about 08.30 or 10.30 (there are 2 flights on the bathyscaphe: the first one departs from the port at 09.00, the second one — at 11.00), we will pick you up from your hotel on a comortable minibus (individual transfer), without long drives to other hotels. And just 15-20 minutes after leaving the hotel, you will be able to enjoy a wonderful ride on the Seaspope Hurghada. The ride will take about 30 minutes, during which you will be able to see the panorama of Hurghada, the city stretching along the coast, contemplate the beautiful sea scenery and take many beautiful photos with the sea as a backdrop. As the seascope approaches the gorgeous coral reef, you will be invited to go down to the lower deck, where comfortable swivelling chairs are located so that if you see something interesting, you can quickly turn to the other side and take a memorable photo of a stingray swimming by. The huge panes of glass are so stable that children can safely lie down on them. While we’re on the lower deck, the bathyscaphe winds down and, slowly at idle speed, circles the coral reef. You will be able to view all the intricate shapes and colours of the coral, many interesting sea creatures. We advise you to keep your camera ready: no one knows how unexpectedly a stingray or a dolphin may swim up to us, and you will have to be in time to photograph it. After 40 minutes of exploring the underwater world, you will return to the upper deck where you will be invited to go snorkelling: masks and fins are provided. Those who wish to go into the water will have the opportunity to see the same inhabitants and beautiful reefs, but not through panoramic glasses, but live. In the water you will be accompanied by an experienced instructor. Return to the port will take about 30 minutes, where our comfortable transfer will be waiting for you to take you to your hotel. On the deck of the bathyscaphe you will be offered water and soft drinks.
Short, but very interesting excursion seascope Hurghada, for a long time will remain in your memory, and especially in the memory of your children, causing associations with the unique inhabitants of the Red Sea.
What to bring: towels, sunscreen, hats, water.
