7.Snorkeling tour with diving instructor from a boat – Cap de Formentor

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 47 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $65Best value

Meet SCUBANEO at Port de Pollença, choose a comfortable MARES mask, and ride 15 minutes by speedboat toward Cap de Pinar or Cap de Formentor. Your certified guide leads a 50-minute snorkel among bream, groupers, octopuses, starfish, and small caves. Groups are limited to nine, with wetsuits, water, cookies, and showers included.

“Over het algemeen hebben we een fijne ervaring gehad met een vriendelijke gids en goed materiaal. De activiteit zelf voelde echter vrij kort aan. Het staat aangegeven dat de activiteit ongeveer drie uur duurt, maar we waren al na ongeveer twee uur terug, inclusief de uitleg en het klaarmaken van het materiaal. De tijd die we daadwerkelijk in het water doorbrachten of met de boot vaarden, was dus korter dan verwacht. Het koekje en vooral het drinkbaar water achteraf op de boot waren wel een plus.”
