  • DurationFull day
  • StartsArrival, hotel pickup
  • GuideEnglish
  • Group sizeUp to 15 travelers
  • CancellationFree cancellation up to 36 hours before the start time.

Overview

The Aqua Star Eilat experience puts you in a personal mini submarine for a close look at the coral reef and fish of the Red Sea. You need no diving gear, no course and no previous diving experience, so it works for most ages and for people who have never been underwater. The Aqua Star club is at Almog, in the south beach area of Eilat.

Aqua Star Eilat: How the Visit Works

You make your own way to the club at Almog, where the team gives you a short briefing on how the ride works. Then you head out in your mini submarine and glide over the reef, with corals and tropical fish all around you. Back on shore, photos or video of your ride may be available at the club for an extra fee. Plan for the whole visit to take up to about 4 hours, including arrival, the briefing and the ride.

It suits families, couples and anyone who loves the sea but does not want to dive. You get the kind of view divers enjoy, without heavy equipment or training. Because it takes only part of the day, an Aqua Star Eilat ride fits easily between beach time, a desert trip or a day across the border.

The activity runs daily, subject to availability, and your arrival time is confirmed after booking. There is one price per person for all ages, and the booking form shows the exact price for your number of travelers. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan a short taxi or bus ride to Almog. You can cancel for free up to 36 hours before the start time. Want more Red Sea fun?
