This private glass-bottom boat tour is one of the most relaxed Sharm El Sheikh day tours available, departing from Naama Bay and cruising over the coral reefs of the Near and Far Garden. You'll see the Red Sea's marine life through a glass panel beneath your feet; no swimming or snorkeling required.
A driver picks you up from your hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle and takes you to the jetty, and the boat itself is private to your group, so there's no shared schedule with other travelers. It suits families with young children, older travelers, and anyone who'd rather watch the reef than swim through it.
Once on board, you'll spot clownfish, angelfish, and damselfish moving between soft corals and fan gardens, and on a calm day, sea turtles are sometimes seen resting near the reef. The boat stays out long enough to pass both the Near and Far Garden sites before heading back to the jetty, where your driver is waiting to take you straight back to your hotel—no extra stops, no waiting on other groups.

Your driver picks you up from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh in a private, air-conditioned vehicle and takes you to the jetty at Naama Bay. There's no group to wait for and no shared schedule; the vehicle and the boat are both private to your party from the moment you leave your hotel.
At the jetty, you board your glass-bottom boat, where a professional tour representative joins you for the trip out over the Near and Far Garden reefs, two of the most well-known coral sites along this stretch of the Red Sea.
Through the glass panels beneath your feet, you'll watch clownfish, angelfish, and damselfish moving between soft corals and fan gardens, and on calmer days, sea turtles are sometimes spotted resting near the reef.
There's no swimming or snorkeling involved on this trip; you stay seated and dry the entire time, with a bottled water or soft drink to enjoy as the boat cruises between viewing points. It's an easy, comfortable pace suited to families, older travelers, and anyone who'd rather watch the reef than swim through it.
Once the boat has passed both reef sites, you head back to the jetty, where your driver is waiting to take you straight back to your hotel
This tour is suitable for all ages and does not require swimming ability. You stay seated above the water throughout, and no water contact is involved. Comfortable, casual clothing is recommended; a hat and sunscreen are useful for the time spent on the open deck.
Please note that boat trips in Sharm El Sheikh depend on sea conditions on the day. If conditions require it, timing may be adjusted by the operator for passenger safety. (This line needs your confirmation. Please verify with operations whether trips are rescheduled, cancelled with refund, or something else on rough-sea days so I can state the actual policy rather than this general placeholder.)

All FAQ about Egypt
A glass-bottom boat stays on the surface, with a viewing window built into the floor of the boat itself. A submarine or semi-submersible tour takes you below deck to view the reef through side windows, closer to the water. Both let you see the reef without swimming, but the experience and vessel are different. This tour is the glass-bottom boat, not a submarine
