Glass-Bottom Boat Tour
Aqaba, Jordan
About This Activity
For visitors who prefer to stay dry, Aqaba's glass-bottom boat tours offer a window into the Red Sea's extraordinary underwater world without snorkeling or diving. The boats depart from the main beach and cruise slowly over the coral gardens, with the transparent hull allowing direct views of sea turtles, schools of tropical fish, and coral formations. Most tours last 45–90 minutes and include a stop in shallow water where passengers can dangle their feet or snorkel briefly. Boats operate throughout the day; morning tours offer the clearest water conditions. Rates start around 10 JD per person; shop around at the beach as prices are negotiable.
