Aqaba’s May Marvel: Dive into Adventure and Embrace the Sun
With clear skies and perfect temperatures, Aqaba is the ultimate destination for outdoor enthusiasts this May. Dive into the Red Sea’s wonders or relax on the sandy shores—adventure awaits!
Dive into Aqaba’s Aquatic Adventures
Aqaba, nestled along the Red Sea, is a treasure trove of aquatic wonders waiting to be explored. With the sun shining brightly and the skies clear, it’s the perfect time to dive into the vibrant marine life that this coastal city has to offer. Start your adventure with the Glass Boat & Snorkeling experience. Available on both May 3rd and 4th, this two-hour excursion offers a unique glimpse into the underwater world. The journey begins with an hour of coral viewing from a glass-bottom boat, where you’ll marvel at sights like the sunken tank, airplane, and the enchanting Japanese Garden. Following this, don your snorkeling gear and dive into the crystal-clear waters for an hour of exploration. The Red Sea’s rich biodiversity is on full display, and whether you’re a seasoned snorkeler or a first-timer, the experience is sure to leave you in awe.
The reviews speak for themselves:
“A pleasant and exciting 2-hour excursion - We did the 2-hour activity including a 1-hour visit to the reef with the glass-bottom boat and an hour of snorkeling. It was a very good experience: the reef being close to the starting point, the travel time is very short, a few minutes, which leaves time to fully enjoy the reef. The captain maneuvers slowly so that everyone can admire the corals and wrecks (plane, tank, boat, etc.). For the second part, diving with a mask and snorkel, safety is respected and everyone will find something for themselves: those who are comfortable will move away from the boat with a member of the team, the less daring will stay close to the boat (with a buoy provided). In short, a short but busy activity which allows a first approach to the underwater depths of the Red Sea with a professional team. Being able to then enjoy the Berenice club, with its beach, restaurant and swimming pools, is a real plus.” - Reviewed on 2024-04-11
After your snorkeling adventure, take advantage of the complimentary access to the Berenice Beach Club. Relax on the sandy shores, take a dip in the pool, or enjoy a refreshing drink at the bar. The club is a perfect spot to unwind and soak up the sun after a morning of exploration.
