Description

This small-group snorkeling trip combines fun, nature, and accessibility. Meeting points are on easily reachable beaches or coastal locations where you receive all necessary equipment, including fins, mask, snorkel, anti-UV lycra, and an underwater scooter per participant.

The activity consists of snorkeling alongside an underwater scooter with stops to observe local marine life such as octopus, sea urchins, and fish. The trip also includes an educational focus to raise awareness of the surrounding underwater environment.

Beginners benefit from effortless movement, while more confident snorkelers can use the scooter’s full power and maneuverability, even attempting breath-hold dives.
