“I came to palma for a day trip and booked this activity. It was a nice and chilled afternoon, we docked and done snorkeling/swimming. It came with a free drink which was OK in taste. The boat was a bit small so felt a bit overcrowded but the day was well spent.”

“We had an amazing experience! We were in a boat that had a toilet and an upstairs area too. We had 2 stops and got a chance to snorkel and use paddle boards (they ask to bring boards back after 5/10 mins so others get a chance to use too, but there’s lots of masks…”

“The crew and service was excellent. Crew made sure that everyone was enjoying their trip. The sail boat took us quite far to the sea and we got to see dolphins. Since the sailing took more time than expected, there was quite a short time for snorkeling, but that didn’t mind. All in all it…”
Paddle Costa Brava’s sea caves and snorkel clear Mediterranean water in a small group from S’Agaró Bay, with guides sharing local myths.

Snorkel Lobos Island from Corralejo with a mini cruise to El Puertito, a drink onboard, and flexible return ferries for one full day.
