Full description
If there is nothing interesting to see near your home, the story changes in the Bay of Paraggi .
Known as one of the best places to snorkel in Liguria, this place will captivate you with its variety of species, of which you will get to know in the company of a guide specialised in marine biology during a1-hour excursion.
All you will need is a mask, snorkel and flippers. But hey, now that we think about it... those are included too!
What we will do
The appointment is 30 minutes before the indicated time at the meeting point in Portofino (GE). Awaiting us will be the guide who will accompany us on our snorkelling excursion.
Before we dive in, the guide will explain some safety procedures and show us pictures of the species we will spot during the tour. We will then be ready to enter the water directly from the beach.
The excursion will take place in the Bay of Paraggi, an area of the Portofino Marine Protected Area interdicted to nautical traffic, which is ideal for safe and quiet activities.
Once immersed, we will discover seabeds extremely rich in marine fauna and flora. In particular, we will swim among shoals of bream, sea bream, sea bass and moray eels above a vast Posidonia prairie which, together with the nearby reef, is home to a large number of octopuses, starfish, sponges and molluscs.
The experience will end with a return to the meeting point and will last about 1 hour in total .
