Four Hours from Playa Blanca to Papagayo: Snorkel, Paddle, Plank and a Shipboard BBQ.
Departing the harbour at Playa Blanca, this four-hour Chillout Cruises voyage runs to the beaches of Papagayo along southern Lanzarote, combining time anchored in crystal-clear water for snorkeling and paddleboarding with an on-board barbecue service and chances to spot dolphins when seas allow.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Crystal-clear snorkeling at Papagayo
The trip anchors at Papagayo Beach for over two hours, giving extended access to the south coast’s clear water for snorkeling and swimming.
A shipboard BBQ of ribs, sausages and Canarian potatoes
When hunger hits, the crew grills a barbecue on board: ribs, sausages and beef fillets served with salad, Canarian potatoes and drinks on the food-inclusive options.
Paddleboards, a pirate plank and dolphin-spotting
The outing includes stand-up paddle, a daring pirate plank from the upper deck and, when seas are calm, the boat may sail offshore to look for dolphins.
What the day feels like
What the four hours feel like
You leave Playa Blanca’s harbour, and—weather permitting—the skipper may head offshore to scan for dolphins before anchoring at Papagayo for well over two hours of snorkeling, paddleboarding and deck-side antics like the pirate plank; mid-ride the crew prepares a barbecue to eat on board as the coast of southern Lanzarote slides by.
