Other Options for Snorkeling

Boat trip along the Malaga coast

If you're looking for something simpler, our boat trip along the Málaga coast allows you to enjoy the sea and, depending on conditions, stop for snorkeling at some point along the way. It's a more relaxed option for those who want to explore the Costa del Sol from the water without snorkeling being the main focus of the experience.

Ideal for those who prefer a relaxed pace, with views of the Malaga coastline and the possibility of combining several activities without such an intensive focus.

Everything personalized, everything included, everything at your own pace.

Ideal for small groups, getaways with friends, intimate celebrations, or families who want a tailor-made experience.

Lu Sea Toro Private

If your group is larger, the Lu Sea Toro Privado is our other option for snorkeling on the Costa del Sol. This 20-meter boat can accommodate up to 50 people and is designed for large groups who want to enjoy snorkeling and other water activities with all the space and comfort of a larger vessel.

Just like the Lu Sea Tour, the rental is completely private and customizable for 3 hours and 30 minutes

Had a lovely boat trip today to see the dolphins and swim in the sea. The crew were so professional, we got rescheduled due to bad weather and it was handled very well and communication was super clear. Pickup from our hotel was perfect and easy, special shoutout to Jordi (sorry unsure about the spelling of his name), as he was extremely professional!

Absolutely amazing experience. The dolphin spotting was magical. We were lucky enough to see 5 to 6, including mummy and baby. The water toy experience was so much fun, especially if you're a thrill seeker. Jumping off the top of the boat, slides and sea trampoline were a highlight. Worth every penny!

It was an amazing afternoon, not just a five-star one, but a TEN-STAR one!!! Everything was so much fun: the slides, the snorkeling boards, the canoe, the trampoline—nothing was missing!!! The crew was super friendly and professional!!! Thank you so much!!

A fantastic experience! They took us to see dolphins, and the staff didn't stop until we found them. They treated us incredibly well. Afterward, we went to an area where we went kayaking, paddleboarding, water slides, and snorkeling. It's true that, given the currents, it's not the best place to see anything while snorkeling, but their explanations of why and how to do the activities were very thorough. They are very professional. The catering was adequate. We never ran out of drinking water. Since we were delayed due to some other clients, we stayed longer to make sure we had all the time and did all the activities. The whole team is truly professional and friendly, and they have amazing patience with their customers. Thank you for everything; I loved it and enjoyed it immensely!

An unforgettable family experience! ❤️ The boat is simply spectacular, super comfortable, and fully equipped for an amazing day out. They have everything for fun: they brought out paddleboards, water slides, and to top it all off, we got to see dolphins in their natural habitat! It was magical. They also thoughtfully provided delicious snacks during the trip. Special mention to the crew: incredibly friendly, attentive, and hardworking at all times. You can tell how much they care about making sure everything is perfect. We'll definitely be back. 100% recommended!

We absolutely loved it! The staff were so friendly and helpful, and the games were fantastic—it was a really fun morning! I highly recommend it. And finally, the dolphins made it a great day!

Absolutely fantastic. I went out of curiosity with my 14 and 13-year-old grandchildren, and that curiosity turned into admiration for the excellent organization, supervision, and guidance provided by the four professionals on board. It was one of the most enjoyable mornings I've ever had, watching my grandchildren wander around the boat and slide into the sea using the two slides on the bow, as well as paddleboards, kayaks, and other water sports. Oh, and I almost forgot, we enjoyed a refreshing beer, a delicious meal on board, and music perfectly suited to the occasion. Congratulations!

The experience was incredible, totally worth it. We saw lots of dolphins, and they even set up the water slides and gave us goggles and fins. They also brought out several boards and gave us paddles. They also provided food and drinks at no extra charge. 10 out of 10! I'll be back with my family next time.

Excellent experience with Lu Sea. Last Sunday, they gave us the time of our lives. We spotted quite a few dolphins, got plenty of time to swim, and used the paddle courts and slides.

My friends and I had an amazing time on this tour, and it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip! From the very beginning, everything was very well organized, with a convenient pick-up option and a super friendly crew who made us feel right at home. The snorkeling was fantastic; we saw colorful fish and the remains of a centuries-old shipwreck that left us all quite impressed. The water slide was the best part, and the paddleboards and kayaking brought out our inner child in all of us, making us laugh a lot. To refuel, lunch was included and it was delicious—just what we needed after so much activity. Overall, it was the perfect mix of fun, relaxation, and adventure. The three of us wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting Benalmádena!

Had a trip of a life time! Luis and Alvaro were brilliant. We were not rushed or anything and they made sure my 8 yesterday old daughter had enough time to watch dolphins and on the slide to the sea Could not recommend them enough! They had all the gear we needed and even had lunch for us. Thank you

Great trip with Luis and Alvaro, sea trip + swimming with wetsuit/fins provided, we can also go on the slide as well as paddle surfing. Food included and a short walk to the seaport. I recommend it 1000%, to do at least 1000 times ❤️

It was a really fun experience aboard the Lu Sea (Lucy). The slide is awesome, and they even let us jump into the water from the second floor of the boat. We had a great time! Álvaro and Luis were very attentive at all times. They offered us jackets when it was cold up top (where the views were spectacular), wetsuits for everyone because the water was cold, a glass for my drink, and they made sure the slide was always full of water so we could slide down. A 100% recommended experience.

Really good day on the water. The whole family saw flying fish, got to use snorkels and flippers to swim in the open ocean for the first time, and had a dive down to an old wreck. There were great activities on and around the boat too with a very slick water slide into the ocean, and paddle boards/kayak. The crew on the boat were very helpful and you always felt safe. Strongly recommended.

We had the best time on the Lu Sea, the two lads were brilliant too. They brought us to a little boat wreak where we snorkeled down to see the fish. We used the paddle boards, kayaks and the big blow up side was a real hit with the kids and adults. We weren't expecting to see many dolphins but I was so wrong. There were lots of dolphins splashing and playing around. Some came right up to the boat and swam along side. Highly recommend this boat trip.

Brilliant boat trip, had a great time, guys who were on the boat were excellent and very friendly. Snorkeling paddle boating and fun on the slide. Music was brilliant and kids were delighted to see loads of dolphins

We had the best morning with Luis and Álvaro. Pick up was on time, we were close to marina so got there pretty quickly. First stop the dolphins, we were so lucky to see a pod of about 8, one was a calf with his mum. They swam with the boat for quite some time, but then it was time to head to the sunken boat. Once docked, we kitted up. No need for wetsuits as water wasn't too cold, but they were available. Goggles and flippers on we headed over to the site. We weren't so brave as to venture all the way down to check it out, but it's not too far down, and there was a rope guideline attached to a paddle board to help. Once the slide was inflated we headed back to the boat, where we enjoyed the slide and paddleboards, and some ham, cheese and salad roles.... the kids and adults enjoyed the entire experience. The captains were very kind and attentive. They took and shared some great pictures for us, including our unexpected sighting of a huge jellyfish. We didn't know our fellow shipmates, but everyone chatted and got along. It's not cheap, but it was well worth it!! There was alcohol available but we didn't indulge. We were a family of 4, with a 14 and 15 year old (girls). If you or your kids are prone to sickness you may want to be prepared for that. Water is so calm, but on a small boat it could be rocky at times. Do it.... you won't regret it!

This was a very awesome trip! The slide is just so much fun. Only complaint is the boat can get slippery so be careful! Saw dolphins, a boat wreck, and everything was good!

Amazing excursion if you have time in Malaga! Luis and Alvaro were fantastic and allowed us to have a relaxing end to our vacation. The boat we rented had a captain, slide, paddle boards, and lunch included. If you're lucky, you may be able to spot some dolphins along the way.

Benalmádena town center and its bus stops are less than 10 minutes by car from the port. Also, remember that our coach pick-up service stops at selected points in Benalmádena, Torremolinos, and Málaga, so in many cases you won't even have to worry about the journey.
