Full description
Snorkelling is a fun activity suitable for everyone that will let you discover what lies beneath the surface of the sea. Put on your mask, fins and snorkel and get up close to the marine flora and fauna on an exciting 2½-hour snorkelling tour in Portovenere.
From Lerici, in the province of La Spezia, you will board an inflatable boat to reach the best snorkelling spot. You will visit incredibly beautiful places such as Cala Byron, a natural pool near Portovenere. And then of course you will swim in the crystal-clear waters of the sea with the many fish and sea creatures. You might even spot dolphins!
This excursion will make you experience unforgettable emotions, all to be told!
What we will do
The rendezvous is in San Terenzo Lerici, in the province of La Spezia, where we will be met by our guide and skipper. We will then board a dinghy from the small port of San Terenzo and sail across the Gulf of La Spezia to Portovenere.
Once past this area, we will enter Cala Byron, a natural swimming pool from which the 5 Terre Park can be observed. We will be provided with all thenecessary snorkelling equipment (mask, fins and snorkel) and we will dive together with the guide, who will show us the underwater points of interest. The stop will last about 1 hour and will allow us to enjoy the crystal-clear water full of fish.
If maritime traffic conditions and time allow, we will then head to the Secca del Diavolo, on which the statue of the Madonna stands, and to the islands of Tino and Tinetto for a panoramic boat ride.
On the return route, we will discover the area behind the islands until we reach Cala dell'Ammiraglio and San Terenzo. The activity lasts a total of 2½ hours.
Who it is aimed at
The excursion is suitable for everyone over the age of 6 . No specific skills or certification are required, the important thing is to be able to swim.
Other information
The activity takes place from June to mid-October, depending on weather conditions.
Depending on the weather and sea conditions, we will either follow the Portovenere route or the Borgo Riomaggiore route, which has equally beautiful scenery.
On the dinghy there will be a mini-bar with water, fruit juices, sweet and savoury snacks (also gluten free).
