4.Glass Boat & Snorkeling with day use of Berenice Beach Club

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 41 reviews · 2 hours · from $35

Spend about two hours on Aqaba’s Red Sea with Sindbad for Marine Transportation. You’ll view The Tank, a sunken airplane, and Japanese Garden Reef from a glass-bottom boat, snorkel at two stops, and use Berenice Beach Club for the day. Towels, gear, and soft drinks are included.

Guide leads you around and points out things of interest which was helpful rather than being self lead. Also have access to the beach club with heated pools for the whole day which is lovely. Towels included which was helpful. All staff throughout the day were friendly and helpful.”
