Discover the beauty of Mallorca’s underwater world on a snorkelling boat trip to the Malgrats Marine Reserve, home to a wide variety of marine wildlife and crystal-clear waters. This experience is suitable for the whole family and offers an easy, enjoyable way to explore the sea.
Marine Reserve Snorkelling Boat Trip
Motor boat trip to Malgrats with swimming and snorkelling
The trip begins at the diving centre with registration and a short briefing from your guide, followed by preparation and boarding the boat. You will then enjoy a short 10-minute ride to a quiet cove within the marine reserve.
Once in the water, you will have approximately one hour to snorkel at your own pace. With mask, fins and snorkel provided, you can glide through clear waters, explore small cave areas and observe the local marine life up close. A wetsuit is also provided for comfort and sun protection, helping you stay warm while enjoying the experience.
At any time, you can pause to float on the surface and take in the surrounding coastal scenery, or dive a little deeper to get a closer look at the underwater world. An instructor will always be nearby to ensure safety and guidance throughout.
After the snorkelling session, you will return by boat to the centre, where you can shower and freshen up before heading back.
All equipment is included, so just bring your swimwear and a towel for a relaxed and memorable sea adventure.
