Snorkeling tour times are generally: 12:15 / 13:45 / 15:45, but depend on the chosen day and availability.
Small belongings such as wallets, phones or keys are stored safe by the instructors in waterproof bags until the end of the tour. The rest, such as towels, clothes or backpacks, stay on the shore without a problem.
Our Snorkel Tours begin at the meeting point in Tabarca, where the instructors introduce themselves and take the group to the beach chosen according to the sea conditions. The tour begins with a swim from the shore. There is no additional boat involved.
The snorkel tour begins in Tabarca, for which you have to organise the transportation to the island(from the nearby ports) on your own. The snorkel + ferry tour includes the round trip ferry from the port of Alicante.
The Ferry (with Kontiki Cruises) leaves from the port of Alicante. There are several times available to choose from for both the departure and the return trip. The ferry takes 1 hour to reach the island and each should be on time for the start of the snorkeling tour. With your ferry ticket, the return trip is open to board any of the available ones.
We'll provide our meeting point in Tabarca for the start of the activity once we receive your online reservation. It is very close to the ferry port (100 meters, a 1-minute walk).
Reservations are not required for snorkeling equipment rental. You can do so at the Ferry ticket booth in the port of Alicante, before boarding. We have a limited supply of equipment, if you'd like to reserve yours, you can pre-pay here on the website. The equipment rental is not available in Tabarca.
Enjoy the rental of equipment the entire time you are in Tabarca, from the moment you rent it in Alicante before boarding the ferry, until you return to the boat back to Alicante.
The weather conditions in this area are usually always beneficial for snorkelling, and because we have several routes with different orientations, we can protect ourselves from wind and waves if necessary. Rain does not have to be an impediment to snorkelling, however, strong waves or a storm with lightning can always occur. The instructors will always be the only ones responsible for making the decision to cancel due to not being able to carry out the activity or possible risk for the participants. In case of cancellation, participants will be notified before the activity as soon as possible, with a full refund.
