Afternoon Delights: Glass Boat & Snorkeling
As the day progresses and the sun reaches its zenith, it’s time to embark on a Glass Boat & Snorkeling adventure. Available in the afternoon from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM, this two-hour excursion offers a unique perspective of the Red Sea’s marine life.

The adventure doesn’t stop there. After an hour of coral viewing, you’ll have the opportunity to snorkel and explore the underwater world up close. The Berenice Beach Club, where the trip begins, offers a perfect setting to unwind after your snorkeling adventure. With access to the beach, pools, and bars, it’s a great place to relax and soak up the sun.
A review from April 2024 captures the essence of this experience:
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. (Reviewed at: 2024-04-11)
