Settle in the boat's open or shaded areas, and gaze through the glass panels as you cruise to Taba and back. Admire shoals of exotic fish, float over technicolor corals, and watch for rays and turtles, all in their natural environment. Along the way, learn about the marine life and landscapes from the live guided commentary, and enjoy refreshments (own expense) from the onboard snack bar.
