Full description
Embark on an exciting snorkelling tour in the Tuscan Archipelago and discover the hidden wonders of the marine park ofGiannutri Island!
You will embark at Porto Ercole and experience a day of relaxation and discovery in the middle of the sea. You will swim in the crystal-clear waters between the island of Giannutri and the Cetacean Sanctuary.
You will be welcomed by the staff on board, with breakfast and lunch included in the experience.
What we will do
The rendezvous is at 8 a.m. on the seafront at Porto Ercole (GR): after preparing the equipment, we will have a short initial briefing during which we will be explained the day's programme, which we will share with a group of divers. Then we will embark to begin our day of snorkelling in the Tuscan Archipelago. Departure is scheduled for around 9:00 am.
To welcome us on board we will find coffee, tea and pastries to enjoy during the navigation. From the sea we will enjoy the spectacle of the Spanish fortresses of Porto Ercole and admire the coves and most scenic spots of the Argentario coastline.
After about 50 minutes of navigation we will reach theisland of Giannutri and the Cetacean Sanctuary, privileged places for dolphin sightings. Witnessing their leaps will be an emotion we will not easily forget! Meanwhile, the guides will tell us about the island's history and the characteristics that make the marine protected area one of the most important in Italy.
Once we arrive at the first dive point, we will have a briefing on how to use masks and fins properly and discover what fascinating creatures await us underwater, then we will dive independently to enjoy observing the underwater world.
Sailing to the second mooring point, we will enjoy a fantasy of bruschetta prepared by our staff, as well as sandwiches, fresh fruit and drinks. Then we will dive back into the crystal-clear waters without forgetting our masks and flippers.
To end the tour on a high note, we will enjoy a good lunch on board with three first courses prepared by the captain (vegetarian options available), accompanied by wine and coffee.
We will return to Porto Ercole after about 8 hours: a day completely dedicated to the sea and the excitement of snorkelling.
