Snorkeling in Catalonia: Llop Marí Cave by private boat

Motorboat to a secret cave, snorkeling among fish, drinks on deck

Private snorkeling activity in Catalonia departs from Hospitalet de l'Infant port near Salou aboard a motorboat carrying up to eight passengers, sailing to Llop Marí Cave where you snorkel in a beach cove full of fish. The boat, drinks and snorkeling equipment are included. A drone video with photos (40 euros extra, paid during the activity) is optional.

The experience

The boat leaves Hospitalet de l'Infant port near Salou and heads out to Llop Marí Cave, a site locals know but most visitors never find because it's only reachable by water. The motorboat holds up to eight people including the captain, so you're in a small group rather than a crowded tour boat. Once you reach the cave, you'll snorkel in the beach cove inside it where the fish congregate: the whole point of the trip.

Snorkeling gear is provided, and drinks come with the outing. If you want a record of the dive, you can book a drone operator to film and photograph your time in the water. They'll edit it with music you choose and hand you the video to post or share. That costs 40 euros extra and you pay it on the day. The whole activity runs just under two hours from start to finish.

A live guide speaks English, Spanish, Italian or French depending on the group. The boat is wheelchair accessible, and the activity suits all fitness levels, so mobility or fitness concerns don't rule you out.

Is this one for you?Book this if you want a small group snorkeling trip rather than a crowded beach or a large tour boat: eight people max means you're not competing for space or the guide's attention, and the cave itself stays quieter because it's only reachable by water.
