The Itinerary and Experience

The tour kicks off with an informative briefing led by your instructor—imagine a friendly guide explaining what species you might encounter and how to operate the thrusters. This prep time is useful, especially if you’re new to underwater scooters or snorkel gear. The guides, who speak both English and Spanish, take care to ensure everyone feels comfortable before stepping into the water.

After gearing up with all the provided equipment—including wetsuits to keep warm, fins to propel you with ease, and masks and snorkels—you’ll head into the water, which is only a short swim away. Once submerged, the underwater scooters come into play, allowing you to cover more ground with less effort—a real highlight for kids and adults alike. The scooters are easy to handle, and the instructor carries a species identification notebook, making it easy to spot, recognize, and learn about the marine life.

Throughout the tour, the instructor will point out what’s around you, explaining the significance of various fish and sea plants. This educational aspect enriches the experience, transforming simple snorkeling into a fun learning session. The instructor also encourages counting and species identification, adding a playful, interactive element.
