Full description
Never snorkelled before? Here's your chance to start discovering the marine world!
Dive into the crystal clear waters of the Sierra Helada Natural Park and explore accompanied by guides and marine biologists.
You can choose to do it from the beach (1 hour and a half), for a more relaxed exploration or by boat (2 hours and a half), accessing more remote areas, and with more diverse marine life.
An easy, fun and amazing experience that ends with a picnic included!
What we will do
We will meet 30 minutes before the agreed time at the meeting point in the town of Mutxamel, in the province of Alicante, very close to the Sierra Helada Natural Park. There we will meet the guides and marine biologists who will accompany us on this adventure. We will start with a short briefing of about 10 minutes, where they will explain us how to use the equipment and everything we need to feel safe and enjoy ourselves to the maximum.
Afterwards, we will be equipped with a wetsuit, mask, snorkel and booties. From there, depending on the option chosen, we will enter the water directly from the beach or we will board an 8.5 metre RIB that will take us comfortably to the dive site.
Once in the water, we will explore the seabed of the area for about 40-45 minutes. We'll see shoals of salps, bream, obladas... and who knows, maybe even some octopus among the rocks! It will be great fun and we will feel like fish, floating in a spectacular natural environment.
On the way out, we'll take off our equipment and we'll have a very interesting talk at the end. The guides will tell us interesting facts about the species we have seen and talk to us about the importance of conserving the marine flora and fauna of the park. To finish, we will enjoy a picnic with a drink included, ideal to recharge our batteries.
In total, it will be an experience of 1 hour and a half if we choose the option from the beach, or 2 hours and a half if we do it from the boat. Whichever you choose, it will be an unforgettable first snorkelling adventure.
