Dive into Aqaba’s Marine Marvels

Aqaba, with its mild winter weather, is the perfect escape for those looking to blend cultural exploration with marine adventures. The Red Sea’s crystal-clear waters beckon, and there’s no better way to start your Aqaba journey than with a Glass Boat & Snorkeling Adventure. Available on both February 1st and 2nd, this two-hour excursion offers a unique glimpse into the underwater world. Begin with an hour of coral viewing from a glass-bottom boat, where you’ll marvel at sights like the sunken tank and airplane, and the vibrant Japanese Garden. Then, dive into the sea for a snorkeling session, exploring the colorful marine life up close.

The reviews speak for themselves:

This was a very good experience: the reef being close to the starting point, the travel time is very short, a few minutes, which leaves time to fully enjoy the reef. The captain maneuvers slowly so that everyone can admire the corals and wrecks. (Reviewed at: 2024-04-11)

After your aquatic adventure, unwind at the Berenice Beach Club, where you can soak up the sun, enjoy the pools, and sip on complimentary soft drinks. It’s a family-friendly spot, perfect for couples and families looking to relax after a day of exploration.
