Full description
Do you want to enjoy the sea without complications? Join our snorkelling trip around Benidorm.
All you need is to know how to swim or feel comfortable in the water... and a lot of desire to have fun!
Clear waters, shoals of fish and amazing seascapes await you, all this without the need for any qualifications or previous experience!
What we will do
We will meet at the meeting point in Benidorm 30 minutes before the booking time. There we will be met by the team so that we can fill in the necessary documentation and equip ourselves for the experience.
Afterwards, we will travel by van to the port of Villajoyosa in about 12 minutes to embark for Benidorm Island, Mitjana Island or the Serra Gelada Natural Park. The boat trip will take between 18 and 30 minutes and will allow us to admire the beautiful coves, caves and cliffs of the Costa Banca.
Before entering the water, we will receive instructions about the area, the marine fauna we will be able to see and the safety rules. Then, we will have 50 minutes of free snorkelling in one of the best seabeds in the Mediterranean. All under the watchful eye of the skipper who will follow us from the boat, it will be our responsibility to be cautious and stay in visible areas.
We will be able to see schools of damselfish, barracudas, bream, mojarras... And also a multitude of gobies, blennies and starfish while we swim among fish of various colours . We will make our way back to the starting point again by boat and then by van, tired but satisfied .
