The morning light cuts across S'Agaró Bay and the sea looks like glass—blue and thin enough to read the shapes of rock below. You push off a sit-on-top kayak and the coastline immediately changes: cliffs lean out, small caves gape like doorways, and pine-scented headlands dare you to round them. Guides set the pace, keeping the group tight as currents nudge boats toward narrow entrances where the water shivers with cold and life.

Know how to swim
This activity requires basic swimming ability; participants who cannot swim are not permitted for safety reasons.
Morning departures are calmer
Wind and boat traffic increase in the afternoon—book an early slot for glassy water and better visibility for snorkeling.
Protect your skin and the sea
Use reef‑safe sunscreen and a rashguard—UV reflection off the water intensifies sun exposure and sunscreen chemicals harm Posidonia beds.
Secure small valuables
Bring a small dry bag for keys, phone, and medications; the operator provides a changing room and safe storage but you’ll want essentials on you.
Mask, snorkel, fins (if you prefer your own)
Personal gear often fits better and is more comfortable during snorkeling stops.
