Full description
Forget traditional excursions and become a real pirate under the waters of Cabo de Gata.
Immerse your adventurous spirit in Cala Higuera and find the clues hidden under the sea in an exciting 2-hour treasure hunt. Explore a protected marine reserve with the help of a map, overcome fun environmental challenges and feel the rush of discovering hidden booty as you snorkel alongside expert guides. It's the perfect opportunity to conquer the Mediterranean in a totally unique way.
What we will do
We will meet 10 minutes beforehand at the meeting point in Cala Higuera, a picturesque rocky beach with transparent waters located in the heart of the Cabo de Gata Natural Park. There the team will welcome us and hand out all the necessary equipment for the mission, including goggles, snorkel, fins, wetsuit if the weather requires it and the most important element of the day: our treasure map. Before we jump into the water, we will be given a detailed explanation of how to use the snorkelling equipment correctly and the basic swimming techniques so that we can move with complete confidence.
Once ready, we will glide into this marine reserve that has been protected for more than 30 years, an authentic natural aquarium of volcanic origin full of passages and small caves. With map in hand, we will swim close to the coast in shallow waters , searching for clues hidden among the rocks and the immense Posidonia oceanica meadows. Along the way, we will overcome thematic tests that will test our skills and knowledge of this delicate ecosystem, learning to respect and protect the biodiversity of the area while we play.
The qualified guide will dive with us at all times to guide us and ensure the safety of the crew as we scour the seabed. We will float surrounded by salema, bream, starfish and octopus that guard the submerged secrets of the cove. After completing the challenges and unearthing the treasure, we'll return to shore to celebrate victory, remove our equipment and discuss the funniest moments of the treasure hunt. In total, we will enjoy approximately 2 hours of an unforgettable experience full of mystery, laughter and nature in its purest form.
