Night Snorkel, Looking for Octopus
Have you ever been in the sea during the night? This is a completely different adventure that you’ll remember all your life. We'll snorkel in a privileged area where octopus and squids hunt during the night and do not worry we are there just to observer and learn, we'll not fish or kill anything. We'll walk from the shore to the water and move around an area no bigger than two basketball court, the maximum depth is 2.5 meters so it’s pretty safe. Every person will have a lantern and a strobe. If you feel that you need a life jacket, we can provide you with one. I'll have my camera ready all the time to take pictures and videos for you and I'll send all to you after the experience. We'll spend at least one hour and a half or two in the water depending on how you feel, we'll have to work as a team because the octopuses are experts in camouflage. We'll always keep a safe distance to the animals, even if sometimes the squids come very close to us, we'll explain you how to behave to not hurt them. After the experience we'll take you to your hotel or Airbnb and you can ask me any question about the animals, I am always happy to share all what I have learned. Do not worry if you do not know how to swim, we can take some time to teach you some basic moves that will allow you to enjoy the experience.
