Details
An exciting world awaits you just below the surface of the water, which you can discover thanks to this snorkeling trip to the Frioul Islands. Starting from Marseille, embark for a 3-hour excursion in a small group, in the middle of wild landscapes... above and under water. With your mask and snorkel, you will explore a shallow area and get to know the local fauna and flora of colourful fish and shellfish. This fun outing is perfect to do with friends or family, from 8 years old, and for everyone: indeed, no need to know how to swim!
After a quick briefing on the equipment and the snorkeling area, you will enjoy two snorkeling sessions. The first one lasts between 45 minutes and 1 hour and takes place with a qualified instructor who will explain to you the secrets of the underwater life in the Mediterranean Sea. The second, between 30 and 45 minutes, is done on your own. It is also possible to do a quick 10-minute trial dive, ideal to discover the sea bed for children... or grown-ups!Meeting & Preparation
