Lanzarote’s Inclusive Underwater Adventure: Sea Trek and Diving for Handicapped Visitors
Imagine exploring the vibrant underwater world without needing to hold your breath or worry about your mobility. That’s exactly what Native Diving Lanzarote offers with their innovative Sea Trek and Diving experiences designed specifically for handicapped travelers. For around $208.23 per person, you get approximately three hours of guided, accessible fun off the coast of Costa Teguise, Lanzarote — one of the Canary Islands’ most scenic spots.
What we love most about this experience is how thoughtfully it’s designed. First, the creation of a water-adapted wheelchair makes the underwater adventure possible for those who might usually feel excluded. Second, the presence of three experienced instructors guarantees a safe, patient environment that welcomes everyone — from seasoned snorkelers to first-time underwater explorers.

This tour is particularly suited for people with disabilities who want to enjoy the sea in a way that’s safe and inclusive. It’s also perfect for friends and family looking for a meaningful activity that demonstrates genuine accessibility, making it as much about shared joy as individual discovery.
