**What You’ll Do**
Commencing the day bright and early, you’ll be picked up from your hotel and transported to your awaiting boat anchored at Playa Sámara. Upon meeting your amiable crew and fellow adventurers, the excitement kicks off as you bid farewell to the picturesque coastline and set sail towards Isla Chora, a few miles offshore known for its abundance of sea mammals. With a stroke of luck, you may encounter frolicking bottlenose, spotted, and/or spinner dolphins, and if you’re visiting from August to November or early January, you might even catch a glimpse of majestic humpback whales up close.
Listen attentively as your guide imparts insights and anecdotes about the local marine life, the surrounding environment, and the delicate balance of the ecosystem. After acquainting yourself with the waters from the comfort of the boat, it’s time to delve deeper and explore the underwater realm. The engine will be silenced, allowing you to don your snorkeling gear and dive in to revel in an underwater paradise teeming with colorful fish, lively coral reefs, and other marine creatures, perhaps even encountering bashful sea turtles if luck is on your side.
