Real experiences from real travelers
We booked the Royal Seascope through this site and it was seamless. The kids loved seeing 'Nemo' through the big windows without having to snorkel. Highly recommend!
The coral was much more vibrant than I expected. The pickup was a bit late but the submarine experience itself was fantastic. Very comfortable and cool inside.
I don't swim well so I thought I'd miss out on the Red Sea reefs. This tour was a lifesaver. It felt like being in a giant aquarium. Booking was easy and secure.
At $40, this is one of the best value things to do in Sharm. Professional crew and great photo opportunities. The transfer was clean and air-conditioned.
We did the 1.5 hour trip. It was just the right amount of time. The guide was very knowledgeable about the different types of fish we saw.
The water in Sharm is so clear. The windows on the submarine were clean and provided a great 360 view. Very impressed with the service.
I have been to many aquariums, but seeing the reef in its natural state is different. The submarine moves slowly so you can really see the details.
No hassle booking. We got our confirmation immediately. The boat was clean and the air conditioning was a blessing in the heat.
