Our experienced guide will explain to you how to use the equipment, and will take you to the most interesting spots on the island. Accessible to everyone, from 8 years old, snorkeling is the perfect family activity! Snorkeling site
The gulf of Ajaccio is one of the most beautiful diving spots of the island, thanks to its steep relief, sheltering numerous underwater species, such as saddled seabreams or salema porgy. Your guide will optimize the course so that you can meet as many species as possible.Programme
We will meet in Ajaccio at our base on Trottel Beach. Free and paid parking options are available within a 10-minute walk of the meeting point. We will start with a brief introduction to the equipment. Depending on your chosen option, we will either snorkel directly from the beach or take a 15-minute boat ride to a designated snorkeling spot.

A very nice trip. We went as a family. The tour was conducted in English. We would do it again.

The trip was well organized; you're provided with wetsuits and snorkeling equipment. It's a guided snorkeling trip, and the guide showed us beautiful spots and explained interesting facts about the underwater world. You have to swim from the base to the boat, so all personal belongings, including towels, are left in a room at the dive center. So, if you absolutely want to take your phone with you on the boat, for example, for taking photos, you'll need to get a waterproof case, etc., which we unfortunately didn't have with us.

It was a fantastic snorkeling trip. There were just two of us, and our guide showed us and explained so much, which was simply amazing. Highly recommended.
