Sharm El Sheikh Sea Fun: Glass Bottom Boat, Parasailing & Tubing Combo

THE ADVENTURE COLLECTIVE® · Independent discovery and booking for outdoor travel

Read the full experience

You step onto a low-slung jetty and the Red Sea opens in hard light—blue plateaus of water broken by the dark ribs of reef. A glass-bottom boat hums out from the bay, reefs passing below like a secret city of coral and fish; later the tube bounces you over swells and a parasail drags you above sun-sparkled water where the shoreline recedes into cliffs.

Adventure tips

Use reef-safe sunscreenApply a reef-safe, broad-spectrum sunscreen before boarding and reapply as directed; it protects your skin and the coral below.

Take motion-sickness precautionsIf you’re prone to seasickness, take medication before departure—boat movement and tubing can trigger nausea.

Bring water shoesWear slip-resistant water shoes for boarding and when entering shallow snorkel zones to protect feet from sharp coral.

Know health restrictionsMinimum age is 15; not recommended if pregnant or if you have heart or spinal issues—declare health conditions at booking.

Recommended gear

Reef-safe sunscreen: Protects your skin and minimizes harm to coral ecosystems.
Water shoes: Useful for boarding and walking on rocky or coral-fringed shores.
Light wind shell or long-sleeve shirt: Blocks wind chill when you’re up in the parasail and on open-deck boats.
Small dry bag: Keeps phone, ID, and a spare layer dry during tubing and boat transfers.
