Tour programs vary, and you can see their descriptions below.
Seascope, Parasailing & Snorkeling
Embark on an unforgettable adventure that combines three of the most popular Red Sea experiences — soaring above the water, diving below the surface, and exploring vibrant coral reefs up close.
Underwater World by Bathyscaphe
Step aboard a modern semi-submarine with panoramic windows and descend a few meters beneath the surface. Enjoy breathtaking views of colorful coral reefs and their inhabitants — schools of tropical fish, graceful turtles, and other fascinating marine life — all without getting wet.
Parasailing Over the Red Sea
Take to the skies and experience the thrill of parasailing. Lifted high above the sea by a speedboat, you’ll enjoy stunning panoramic views of the coastline, the endless blue waters, and the distant mountains. Feel the breeze, the freedom, and the sense of pure exhilaration as you glide above the waves.
Snorkeling on Coral Reefs
End your day with a refreshing snorkeling session in the crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea. Equipped with a mask and snorkel, swim among coral gardens, encounter colorful fish, and immerse yourself in the beauty of this unique underwater paradise. Both exciting and relaxing, it’s the perfect way to complete your adventure.

*The order and total duration of the program may vary depending on departure time and other factors (typically, parasailing takes place after lunch).
Parasailing flights are limited to a combined passenger weight of max. 150 kg. If the total weight exceeds this, two separate flights will be arranged.

If you refuse to take the parasailing flight on the day of the excursion, the original booking cost remains unchanged.
There may be a short waiting period between the bathyscaphe trip and the parasailing activity.
There are only three large, comfortable bathyscaphes in Hurghada, all with spacious cabins:
One has an open upper deck on the second floor (in addition to a covered lounge and the underwater viewing deck). Swimming takes place directly from the vessel.
Another has only a closed deck but takes guests to a special swimming platform at sea.
All vessels have been recently refurbished and are much more comfortable than the older yellow bathyscaphes offered by some tour operators at inflated prices (which also lack covered lounges).
Please note: choice of vessel is not possible. Tourist allocation is made on-site depending on seat availability and daily schedules.
All bathyscaphes in Hurghada operate at government-designated sites near the central marina. While these reefs are not the most vibrant in the region, many visitors — especially families with children — still find the experience fascinating. The number of visible marine creatures may vary depending on weather and sea conditions.
