The Submarine + Snorkeling + Parasailing excursion is a thrilling, action-packed trip lasting several hours, either in the morning or afternoon, where you can enjoy the beauty of both the underwater and above-water worlds! After such exciting activities, it’s great to have a good meal – our transfer will take you back to your hotel for lunch or dinner!
This program is not only exciting but also more affordable than booking these activities separately!
The submarine is a semi-submersible boat in Hurghada. One of the most unusual sea excursions. Panoramic portholes are located at a depth of about 3 meters, so you can see everything that divers love about the Red Sea. And one of them will feed the fish right in front of your panoramic portholes.
Snorkeling from the submarine yacht is an exciting 40-minute swim in the open sea on a reef to see marine life at arm’s length (equipment: fins and masks are provided on site).
A parasailing flight will give you an adrenaline rush and allow you to see the beauty of Hurghada from a bird’s eye view.

Additional Information:
- Parasailing: The combined weight of passengers for parasailing should not exceed 150 kg. If the weight is more, two flights will be made;

- Cancellation: If you refuse to parasail on the day of the trip, the initial booking cost will not change;
- Wait Time: There may be a short wait between the submarine and parasailing;
- Submarines: Hurghada has two large and comfortable submarines with spacious cabins. One has an open upper deck on the second floor, in addition to a covered cabin and a lower deck for observing the marine world. Swimming takes place from the ship. The second does not have an open deck (only a closed one) but brings passengers to a special platform in the sea for swimming. Both vessels are updated and much more interesting than the yellow submarines offered by tour operators at inflated prices. They also do not have a closed cabin for rest. Detailed photos of both submarines can be found in the main program here (there is no choice of ship; the distribution of tourists takes place on site and depends on available places or a changing schedule);
- Diving Spots: All submarines in Hurghada go to the same specific government-designated places, not far from the central marina. Therefore, the reefs are not the most beautiful and lively in this area, but many tourists are still delighted with the experience, especially children. Depending on weather conditions, there may be more or fewer marine inhabitants.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Your price is so low... Probably you are doing a low-quality service?
We truly offer some of the lowest prices while maintaining a high quality of service. The reason is that we are an online booking company for large tour operators in Egypt, allowing us to offer very competitive prices due to our large volume of tourists. By booking with us, you receive high-quality service without overpaying intermediaries.
What kind of buses and transfers do you have?
A variety of transportation is available for use by the event organizers within the park, including cars, minivans, and comfortable buses. All vehicles are equipped with air conditioning and safety systems. For longer journeys, buses with restrooms are provided. Additionally, all vehicles undergo regular maintenance and sanitation checks, and possess the necessary tourist permits. Furthermore, drivers undergo inspections by the tourist police before each long trip.
How and when do I pay for the tour?
We work without prepayment. All group tours are paid for on the bus or during the tour itself. The exceptions are prepayments for private tours and tours that require purchasing airline tickets or processing documents. Our main programs are paid for directly during the transfer or at the beginning of the tour. You don’t need to look for someone to pay for the tour. An employee of the organizer will approach you. You can pay in cash in US dollars, euros, or Egyptian pounds. For your convenience, we also offer the option of transferring funds to a bank card in rubles, hryvnias, and euros at the exchange rate or to a cryptocurrency wallet in USDT, prior to the tour. For more detailed information on payment methods and refunds, please see here.
Do you have a tourist license?
Egypt is a highly regulated country, especially when it comes to tourism. For any vehicle or yacht to depart on an excursion, daily permits must be obtained from both the police and the military. If the tour operators don’t have a valid tourism license, they naturally won’t be granted these permits. This is why for certain excursions, we may request copies of your vouchers and passports (this applies to sea excursions in Sharm El-Sheikh, private tours, and some group tours if they involve leaving the city. For other excursions, permits are simply issued based on the number of people, and passport details are not required).
Are we insured during the excursion?
Unfortunately, some hotel guides try to convince tourists that their travel insurance is allegedly invalid if they book excursions with external tour operators, as opposed to their own company. This is not true.
Firstly, your travel insurance is valid throughout Egypt, just as it would be if you booked with the hotel’s tour company.
Secondly, if you are on a boat, bus, or other mode of transport, the organizer bears full insurance liability to the passengers. Otherwise, they simply would not be able to obtain a permit to conduct tour activities. Egypt has quite strict tourism regulations, and permits are required before each trip.
How can I retrieve a lost item from a tour?
We always remind our guests to double-check that they have all their belongings when exiting the bus or yacht at the end of the tour. Unfortunately, recovering lost items can be quite challenging due to the immediate departure of vehicles for cleaning and the complexities of Egyptian logistics. While we will do our best to help you locate your belongings, we cannot guarantee a 100% recovery rate. If we are able to find your item, there will be a delivery fee of $5-10. Please be mindful of your belongings!
Should I adjust my plans or wait for the tour?
We have a significant daily influx of booking requests for our programs from tourists. As a result, most excursions are organized daily or on specific days of the week following a detailed schedule provided in each program’s description. After booking, we will send you the exact pick-up time from your hotel. Many tours will be conducted with small groups from various hotels who have purchased excursions through tour operators. The only difference is that our prices are 40-60% lower (our organizers conduct all major excursions in Hurghada and Sharm El-Sheikh for Russian-speaking tourists).
Where can I find the photographer who took photos on the tour?
We would like to inform you that the photographers accompanying you on excursions act as independent representatives of their photo studios. They are not part of our online service or the program organizer team. All terms and conditions related to the photoshoot and its payment are discussed and agreed upon directly between you and the photographer. We recommend that you approach prepayments with caution and ensure the reliability of the services, as well as obtain all the photographer’s contact information before making any payments.
