Swim from a quiet sandy cove into an unlit natural sea cave system at Cova Coloms, exploring submerged pools and mineral formations with a guide. This small-group excursion balances hands-on spelunking with coastal hiking and snorkeling.

The day begins on a small, sun-baked beach where the Mediterranean murmurs against limestone and the guide checks lights and wetsuits. You pull on neoprene, feel the cool rush as you slip into crystal-clear water, and swim toward a dark oval mouth in the cliff — an aperture into a subterranean coastline shaped by salt and time.

Arrive hydrated and fed
Bring at least 2 liters of water and a compact lunch — energy is important after wetsuit use and exertion in cool water.
Wear water shoes

Be honest about swimming ability
You will swim short stretches in open water and through cave pools — basic confident swimming is required.
Protect electronics
Use a dry bag for phones and cameras; underwater photos are possible but only with waterproof housings or dedicated snorkel cameras.
Swimsuit
Wear under the provided wetsuit so you’re dry-ready post-tour.
