About this tour
Set sail from Tarifa on a three-hour coastal voyage with hands-on instruction from the captain, who'll walk you through navigation basics if you fancy taking the wheel. Drop anchor in calm waters teeming with fish, slip on a snorkel and strap into an underwater scooter for effortless exploration of the seabed. Between dives, settle into tapas and drinks while gazing across at the Moroccan coastline. Guides speak Spanish, English and French throughout.

What to expect
Expect a relaxed morning or afternoon at sea rather than a workout. The captain runs through sailing essentials and hands you control of the boat—manageable even for non-sailors. Once anchored, you'll kit up with snorkel gear and the scooter, which takes the strain out of propelling yourself through shallow, fish-filled waters. The seabed is visible and accessible. Back on deck, tuck into local tapas and cold drinks while floating off the coast, with views towards Morocco. The pace is unhurried; this suits mixed fitness levels and curious types more than adrenaline seekers.
Good to know
Children under 5 cannot join. Public transport links Tarifa town to the departure point. Bring sun protection and a towel. The underwater scooter requires minimal effort—it's designed for comfort and accessibility, not speed.
