This 2.5-hour outing from Calvi pairs a boat ride along the Pointe de la Revellata with a snorkeling stop in the Gulf of Calvi. You check in at the Hippocampe Plongée dive center at the marina, get fitted with snorkel gear, then ride out by boat to a spot at the Revellata point that the operator says can only be reached from the sea. There you get free time in the water before heading back.
The tour is run by Sarl Subdive and is aimed squarely at families and first-timers. No snorkeling experience is needed, though you do have to be able to swim. Reviewers regularly describe it with words like well organized and good value, and several families with children aged four to eight said their kids loved it.
A guide and crew come with the trip, and the boat ride itself is part of the fun, with teenagers in one family reportedly delighted by a little swell on the way out. Food and drinks are not included.
Here is what to know before you book, based on the operator's listing and what past travellers have reported.
Common issues. The main complaints are mild. Some travelers mention they would have preferred more time in the water, and others have asked for clearer separation from dive groups. One parent described the in-water supervision as minimal, though in line with what the trip costs. There is no hotel pickup, so you need to make your own way to the marina in Calvi. Food and drinks are not provided.
The price covers the boat ride, a guide and crew, and snorkel equipment fitted at the dive center. Food and drinks are not included. The tour lasts 2.5 hours.
The meeting point is Hippocampe Plongée Calvi at Le Port de Plaisance, 20260 Calvi, at the marina. Hotel pickup is not included, so you need to arrive on your own. Allow time to get fitted with gear before departure.
Yes. The listing encourages bringing the whole family, and reviewers have taken children as young as four, who they said loved it. No previous snorkeling experience is needed, but everyone must be able to swim.
No. The operator states that no previous experience is necessary. The only requirement is that you can swim, since the site is reached by boat and you snorkel in open water.
You can cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. The listing does not state the terms for cancellations made after that point.
Snorkel equipment is provided, so you do not need your own gear. Food and drinks are not included, so plan for anything you want to eat or drink yourself.
