SEA & ISLANDS / THE EXPERIENCE
Panorama semi submarine.
A CLOSER LOOK AT YOUR DAY
A window into another world.
See the Red Sea without a full scuba dive. The vessel stays at the surface while guests view coral and marine life through large windows in a panoramic cabin below sea level, followed by a snorkeling stop and diver show.
After hotel pickup, you will transfer to the marina and board the Panorama semi-submarine. The boat remains on the surface while you sit in a viewing cabin below sea level and watch coral, fish and the diver show through large panoramic windows. A snorkeling stop is included in the planned program, but entering the water is optional. After the boat program, you return to the marina and transfer back to your hotel.
THE JOURNEY, STEP BY STEP
How it all unfolds.
Hotel pickup and transfer to the marina
Meet your transfer at the confirmed hotel pickup time and travel to the marina. Bring swimwear and a towel if you want to use the optional snorkeling stop.
Board the semi-submarine and enter the panoramic viewing cabin
Board the semi-submarine and take your place in the panoramic viewing cabin. The cabin sits below sea level, while the vessel itself stays on the surface.
Watch coral and marine life through the large underwater windows
Look through the large windows for coral and fish along the route. You can enjoy this part of the experience without swimming or wearing diving equipment; visibility varies with sea conditions.
Enjoy the diver show
Watch the diver show through the viewing windows as part of the planned boat program. Follow the onboard team for the order and timing of the viewing activities.
Stop for optional snorkeling with equipment provided
At the snorkeling stop, guests who choose to enter the water can use the included snorkeling equipment. Tell the crew your swimming ability and follow their safety instructions; snorkeling is not compulsory.
Return to the marina and hotel
Return to the marina and join the transfer to your hotel. Confirm the boat departure, activity duration and expected hotel return when booking, particularly if you have another commitment later in the day.
Timings and the order of stops can change with conditions and operational arrangements. Your confirmed trip instructions give the final meeting details.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
A little clarity.
Do I need extra money for equipment, photos or food?+
The standard fare includes the viewing cabin, planned diver show, one optional snorkeling stop, a mask and fins, a drink and Hurghada hotel transfers. Professional photos, videos and personal purchases are optional and cost extra. Lunch is not included. Confirm any transfer supplement for a hotel outside Hurghada before booking; another excursion's transport price does not automatically apply.
Does the whole submarine go underwater?+
No. The vessel remains at the surface; the panoramic viewing cabin is below sea level.
Is snorkeling compulsory?+
No. You can enjoy the underwater viewing cabin without entering the water. Skipping snorkeling does not reduce the published standard fare; no separate cabin-only discount is listed. Snorkeling is an optional part of the program, with crew instructions applying to anyone who joins.
Can non-swimmers join?+
Yes. The underwater viewing cabin is suitable for guests who do not want to swim.
Is there a diver show?+
Yes, it is included in the planned program.
What information do you need for hotel pickup?+
Provide your hotel name, room number when available, and a reachable phone or WhatsApp number. Your exact pickup time is confirmed after the hotel details are checked; the activity time is not necessarily your hotel pickup time.
Can I stay on board instead of snorkeling?+
Yes. Snorkeling is optional. Tell the crew your swimming ability, follow the briefing and only enter the water when you feel comfortable and the crew confirms it is safe.
How should I book for children or infants?+
Include every traveler and provide the age of each child or infant before confirmation. The child fare does not remove the need for adult supervision, and participation in water activities depends on the crew assessment.
Is snorkeling equipment included in the price?+
Yes. A snorkeling mask and fins are included in the tour price.
