Boat trip and snorkelling in Isla del Fraile
Want to enjoy the sea in Águilas without a diving certification? Our boat trip and snorkelling excursion takes you to discover Isla del Fraile from the surface, in a plan designed for the whole family.
We set off by boat from Calabardina to Isla del Fraile, the same area where we run our guided dives, with clear waters, hardly any current and an average temperature of 20 ºC. It's the same setting we describe in our Águilas Dive Guide, but explored swimming on the surface, with mask, snorkel and fins.
It's a guided activity, designed for anyone who has never snorkelled before or is diving from the surface for the first time: no certification or previous experience needed, just feeling comfortable in the water. Perfect for families with children aged 6 and up who want to get to know Isla del Fraile without a diving certification.
Requirements
- Minimum age 6
- No diving certification or previous experience required
