Sharm El-Sheikh: Seascope Submarine boat cruise with pickup

Exploring the coral reef and observing the diverse marine life was absolutely breathtaking. The shuttle service was convenient, picking us up and dropping us off right near the village. Our tour guide was incredibly warm and cheerful throughout the trip.

Helpful? Yes

Diving into the vibrant coral reef and encountering such a wide variety of fish was truly unforgettable. The shuttle service was excellent, collecting us directly from the village and ensuring a smooth return. Our guide was exceptionally kind and always had a smile. The only issue was the submarine's air conditioning it was cranked up so high that we were shivering the whole time.

Helpful? Yes

This excursion was absolutely perfect for admiring stunning coral reefs and colorful marine life. Both my children and I were thrilled with the experience! I can't recommend this trip enough the entire staff was wonderful and made our visit truly memorable.

Helpful? Yes

I was deeply disappointed with this experience. Not only was the tour unremarkable, but I was also cheated by one of the submarine staff members. They took photos of me after I paid 1,300 Egyptian pounds, promising to deliver them to my hotel. However, after receiving full payment, they never sent the pictures and stopped answering my calls. It's unacceptable that the service provider allows such dishonest individuals to represent their business.

Helpful? Yes

We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this incredible experience. The entire team was exceptionally welcoming and went out of their way to be helpful. This tour is absolutely essential for anyone wanting to witness the breathtaking variety of fish and vibrant coral formations up close .

Helpful? Yes

Our visit to this section of the reef proved rather underwhelming. The marine life was sparse, with no notable fish sightings or turtle encounters during our excursion. While the coral formations were present, the overall experience fell short of expectations.

Helpful? Yes

While the overall experience was pleasant, I did notice persistent upselling throughout the trip. Staff frequently pushed additional purchases like ice cream and cocktails, and there was noticeable pressure to leave tips despite the already reasonable pricing given the number of participants. This constant focus on extra payments slightly detracted from an otherwise enjoyable excursion.

Helpful? Yes

While the submarine was equipped with air conditioning, it proved insufficient as the interior became uncomfortably warm during the tour. Additionally, I found the ticket price somewhat excessive for the overall experience provided.

Helpful? Yes

The experience surpassed our expectations with its stunning display of marine life surrounding the vibrant coral reef. Transportation was seamless without any complications, and our guide maintained a professional yet cheerful attitude during the entire excursion.

Helpful? Yes

The pickup service from our hotel was overcrowded, making for an unpleasant and cramped journey to the site. We were disappointed to find our tour guide didn't speak English, which limited our understanding of the experience. While we ultimately enjoyed the underwater sights, we felt the overall package didn't justify the high price we paid.

Helpful? Yes

A fantastic experience from start to finish. The company was prompt with communication after booking and provided timely updates. Our transport arrived exactly on schedule, and guide Amr greeted us warmly in the lobby. His excellent English skills and friendly, reassuring manner made us feel completely comfortable. During the boat transfer, refreshments were available for purchase while waiting. Onboard, we enjoyed both deck levels the spacious submarine section offered incredible views of vibrant corals and fish , while the upper deck featured a fun atmosphere with music and optional treats like ice cream and photos.

Helpful? Yes

Our experience was absolutely fantastic in every aspect and completely worth the investment. The bar service was excellent I'd highly recommend enjoying a drink before departure. The crew members were exceptional in their hospitality. My only critique involves the smoking policy: while permitted on deck (as is common), it became problematic when careless smokers allowed ash to drift into others' drinks, particularly unpleasant for families with small children and expecting mothers. A bit more consideration from fellow passengers would have made this perfect outing flawless.

Helpful? Yes

We had an absolutely wonderful experience thanks to our guide Ali, who provided exceptional service and knowledge throughout the tour. We're truly grateful for his assistance and expertise. Azam also contributed significantly, pointing out numerous fish species and enhancing our underwater exploration. The entire experience exceeded our expectations.

Helpful? Yes

We had a fantastic time spotting numerous fish species during this enjoyable excursion. It made for a perfect few hours out on the water exactly the kind of memorable experience we were hoping for.

Helpful? Yes

While the seascope experience itself was beautiful and the trip overall was enjoyable, I was disappointed by the language barrier. Despite booking an English language tour, the primary guide only spoke Russian throughout the excursion. Thankfully, another kind guide stepped in to translate for me personally, which I greatly appreciated. However, having to rely on translation wasn't what I expected when I specifically paid for an English guided experience.

Helpful? Yes

Ali proved to be an exceptional guide, expertly advising us on securing the best viewing spots. The entire boat crew was wonderful their infectious energy and warmth created such a welcoming atmosphere. They went above and beyond to make my sons feel extraordinary, even allowing them to 'steer' while wearing the captain's hat! This thoughtful gesture created priceless memories for our family.

Helpful? Yes

We were thoroughly impressed with our Submarine Boat Cruise experience. Our guide provided excellent care throughout the journey, and communication was clear and effective. The vessel itself was modern, spotless, and well maintained. Every aspect of the excursion delivered great value for the price. Without hesitation, we would recommend this adventure to others.

Helpful? Yes

The trip departed at 9:40 AM with a 45-minute itinerary and returned to our accommodation at 1:00 PM. The underwater portion was impeccable, with excellent visibility and marine life. The stark contrast between the exceptional underwater experience and the mediocre transportation was striking.

Helpful? Yes

We thoroughly enjoyed this well planned excursion. The pickup service was efficient, and we traveled comfortably in a modern, air conditioned minivan. Upon boarding, we appreciated the availability of reasonably priced drinks and fruit cocktails. The boat tour itself was relaxing and never felt overcrowded.

Helpful? Yes

This was an extremely disappointing experience. The excessive waiting time was unacceptable, and the boat tour failed to deliver on its promises. Despite repeatedly confirming that all passengers would have coral visibility, only one side of the boat (where my family sat) could actually see anything - the other side only viewed the seafloor. This misleading information ruined what should have been a special outing. I strongly advise against this activity.

Helpful? Yes

The modern boat provided a comfortable and uncrowded experience, making it easy to observe the vibrant marine life. This hassle free excursion was perfect for a short, enjoyable outing on the water.

Helpful? Yes

What an absolutely magical experience! From start to finish, every detail exceeded our expectations. The vibrant marine life, crystal clear waters, and exceptional service created memories we'll cherish forever. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect outing on the water.

Helpful? Yes

Initially, we were hesitant about booking through a third party rather than our TUI representative, but it turned out to be an excellent decision that saved us significantly. Ali's service was impeccable from beginning to end he even arranged hotel pickup for added convenience. Thank you for creating such memorable moments we'll cherish forever!"

Helpful? Yes

Our experience was somewhat mixed. While the boat itself was comfortable and air conditioned, we faced a 40 minute delay before boarding. The underwater viewing area had two sections one had a guide actively explaining the marine life, but unfortunately our section lacked any commentary. Aside from these issues, the rest of the excursion was satisfactory.

Helpful? Yes

Our guide was truly outstanding knowledgeable, engaging and made the experience memorable. While we thoroughly enjoyed the tour itself, the beachside dining experience under the tent fell slightly short of expectations. With some improvements to the meal quality and presentation, this could be an absolutely perfect excursion.

Helpful? Yes

This was an absolutely wonderful experience that I believe all visitors should enjoy. The convenient hotel pickup and drop off service made transportation effortless. Our guide Sharif was exceptionally friendly and went above and beyond to assist us throughout the tour. A truly memorable outing that we highly recommend!

Helpful? Yes

We thoroughly enjoyed the main part of our excursion observing the vibrant fish and beautiful coral formations was truly spectacular. However, the waiting period before the trip began was less enjoyable and could be improved. Despite this initial inconvenience, the underwater experience itself made the journey worthwhile.

The breathtaking underwater scenery was absolutely mesmerizing, and our guide provided exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable service throughout the tour. Their warm demeanor and expertise greatly enhanced our overall enjoyment of this memorable adventure.

Helpful? Yes

While we enjoyed the overall experience, the photography service could improve its communication. The photographer assured us our framed photos would be delivered to the hotel that same evening, but they actually arrived about three days later. More accurate timelines would help manage expectations better.

Helpful? Yes

Our guide was truly exceptional incredibly welcoming and patient with all our questions, providing valuable insights throughout. While the excursion itself was enjoyable, we have reservations about repeating it due to ecological concerns. The boat's close proximity to the coral reefs raises questions about potential environmental impact, which gives us pause despite the otherwise positive experience.

Helpful? Yes

From start to finish, this was an exceptional experience. Our driver and guide were both incredibly welcoming and professional. The vessel was impeccably maintained with spotless facilities. We appreciated that the crew never pressured us about onboard purchases while still making refreshments available. The breathtaking coral formations and diverse marine life created unforgettable moments.

Helpful? Yes

The onboard photographer became somewhat intrusive, insisting on taking photos that delayed us while other guests claimed the prime viewing spots. Additionally, our pickup was delayed by an hour from the scheduled 9:30 AM without proper explanation. That said, the breathtaking marine views and quality of the excursion more than compensated for these small inconveniences. I would enthusiastically recommend this tour while suggesting these operational aspects could be refined.

Helpful? Yes

Unfortunately, this experience fell short of expectations. The only thing that stood out was the inflated price nearly double what we paid for superior tours in Hurghada. The snorkeling segment was particularly disappointing: just 30 minutes in cloudy water before being rushed out, followed by the odd expectation to help clean the boat's deck. These shortcomings likely explain why the vessel was only half full. Unless significant improvements are made, this operation will continue losing customers to better alternatives in the region.

Helpful? Yes

The boat itself was well designed and felt completely secure. While our transportation arrived later than scheduled, it wasn't a major issue. However, we were disappointed that the onboard guide only spoke Russian, despite the tour being advertised with English guidance. This experience seems ideal for those who aren't divers or strong swimmers wanting to explore underwater life.

Helpful? Yes

I cannot recommend this experience enough thanks to our exceptional guide Mohammad. His warm personality, extensive knowledge, and genuine passion for sharing insights about the marine life and local area transformed this into much more than just a boat trip - it became an enriching guided tour. Among countless activities I've done worldwide, Mohammad stands out as the most professional and engaging guide I've ever encountered. His ability to identify fish species and answer all our questions with enthusiasm was remarkable.

The crowd was typical for this kind of event, and while the view was decent, I expected something a bit more impressive. It was fine, but not extraordinary.

Helpful? Yes

Our guide Ahmed was absolutely excellent knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience memorable. The only small note is that the viewing windows on the seascope could use a good cleaning for better visibility. Still, a fantastic trip overall!

Helpful? Yes

The vessel was well maintained and comfortably air conditioned. Getting such an up close view of the vibrant fish and coral reef was truly fascinating an experience I won't forget. The crew ensured everything ran smoothly throughout our trip.

Helpful? Yes

The tour was okay overall. We were picked up right on time in a clean, air conditioned minivan. Even though all the boat announcements were in Russian, we didn't feel we missed any important details. The underwater scenery showed plenty of fish and coral, and we took some nice photos. Since we spoke German, we were largely left to our own devices. It was acceptable for the price, but not a must do experience.

Helpful? Yes

We had a pleasant overall experience and left feeling content with the service. While nothing extraordinary stood out, the activity met our expectations and provided a satisfactory outing.

Helpful? Yes

This activity is generally suitable for children, though I wouldn't recommend doing it during peak heat hours. While the boat has air conditioning, the extended waiting periods both before departure and after returning to port make the experience less enjoyable in high temperatures. Families might want to consider cooler times of day for this excursion.

Helpful? Yes

It felt like we could reach out and touch the colorful corals and tropical fish swimming by. This unique perspective made for an unforgettable experience.

Helpful? Yes

Our Seascope submarine tour offered decent value for the price. Transportation was adequate, though unremarkable, with a shared bus ride to the site. While the boat served cocktails , we were disappointed by the complete lack of commentary about our route, marine life sightings, or reef locations having a guide would have significantly improved the experience. The crew's persistent tip requests felt unwarranted as they provided minimal service.

Helpful? Yes

We absolutely loved the breathtaking sea views during this experience! The panoramic underwater scenery was so captivating that we'd happily return for more frequent visits. Watching the vibrant marine life through the submarine's windows made for a truly relaxing and enjoyable outing.

Helpful? Yes

After enjoying two fantastic snorkeling adventures, I wanted to experience Sharm's underwater world in a more relaxed manner.

At about an hour long, it's the ideal length for a leisurely marine exploration.
