About this experience
You will be picked up from your hotel by air-conditioned transfer bus around 10 am and driven to the New Harbor in Hurghada. There you climb the glass bottom boat. Through huge windows in the keel of the ship, you can enjoy an almost unclouded view of the underwater world on both sides. The ship cruises the big reefs at a slow pace, leaving plenty of time to take a close look at everything. You can spend the return to the port on deck of the ship and relax while enjoying the view of the Red Sea. Upon arrival at the port, the transfer will take you back to your hotel.

Don't fall for it, choose a reliable company!
Worst company ever! We booked the trip at 2pm, they wanted to pick us up at 10:20, thqts almost 4 hours before time. We didn't agree to that as it's just way to early. They said they would check with management again and come back, they never did until late night when i asked them again. They said nothing could be done, so i asked for the address so we can come there ourselves even though we paid for pickup. They refused to give the address and eventually in the morning on the day of trip they said the trip was cancelled for us even though it shows as confirmed on viator. We couldn't cancel anymore as it was less then 24h before and they didn't cancel for real on viator aswell. So should this mean we paid for nothing? I would not recommend you take the chance, better to choose a reliable company instead.

Trip on a glass bottom boat from Hurghada: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does Trip on a glass bottom boat from Hurghada cost?
+
Prices start at $10 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hurghada usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Trip on a glass bottom boat from Hurghada take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hurghada is not rushed.
Is Trip on a glass bottom boat from Hurghada worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hurghada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Trip on a glass bottom boat from Hurghada?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Trip on a glass bottom boat from Hurghada suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Trip on a glass bottom boat from Hurghada?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hurghada can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hurghada and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Trip on a glass bottom boat from Hurghada start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hurghada within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hurghada?
+
On Outty we rank every Hurghada experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hurghada: Luxor Valley of the Kings & Tutankhamun Tomb Trip, Orange Bay Island, Luxury Cruise to Orange Bay and Hula Hula island Trip. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hurghada?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hurghada?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
