Is snorkeling gear included?

Snorkeling equipment is typically provided, but confirm specific inclusions with the operator when booking.

What's the fitness level required?

Intermediate fitness is needed. The hike includes steep sections, rocky terrain, and sustained elevation changes; this isn't suitable for beginners or those with significant mobility limitations.

Will the activity run in bad weather?

The route and sometimes the activity itself is adjusted based on daily weather and sea conditions for safety. Heavy wind or rough seas may limit snorkeling access or alter the planned course.

How deep is the snorkeling?

Snorkeling is surface-based (no diving). Depth varies by location, but the focus is on coastal waters and shallow marine ecosystems accessible from the island.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen, water shoes, a towel, extra clothing layers, and plenty of water. Confirm snorkeling gear inclusion and ask about any items the operator supplies.

How do I get to the starting point?

Meeting point and exact location are confirmed after booking. Plan travel time to reach the island departure point, as it may require a short transfer or ferry.

our guide Carla was brilliant and a stingray half-buried in the sand was the highlight. Went last tuesday so it wasnt too busy. Last day of the trip, and did it on our first morning. Would book again no question.

our guide Diego had so many stories and a stingray half-buried in the sand was the highlight ... Last day of the trip so it wasnt too busy. Used it for our summer trip, and perfect for first-timers, and water was like 28 degrees. Would book again no question.
