Ce qui vous attend

Ce National Geographic Day Tour exclusif vous emmène explorer les merveilles du système de la barrière de corail méso-américaine. Sous la conduite de spécialistes de la mer, profitez de l'occasion unique de plonger en apnée afin de constater l'impact de l'homme sur le récif et d'assister au blanchiment des coraux. Vous continuez avec un exposé sur les mesures à prendre pour restaurer les récifs.

Vous embarquerez et prendrez la mer lorsqu'elle est plus calme, avec le cap mis sur deux différents récifs, chacun touché par le blanchiment dû au réchauffement climatique, à la pollution de l'eau et aux microplastiques. Vous visiterez le récif appelé El Meco, abritant les plus jeunes coraux et donc d'intérêt particulier.

Les bateaux utilisés pour l'activité sont certifiés par le Pavillon Bleu pour le tourisme durable, garantissant que votre excursion s'inscrive dans le cadre de pratiques respectueuses de l'environnement. En chemin, vous ferez connaissance avec la faune locale et un repas composé de burritos est prévu le midi.

Cette excursion vise à sensibiliser à la protection des écosystèmes marins, ce qui est l'objectif du projet Pristine Seas, parrainé par le National Geographic. Ce projet a mené des expéditions au Banco Chinchorro, une partie importante du système récifal mésoaméricain. Le travail de ce projet souligne l'importance de préserver les environnements marins de l'influence humaine, tout en protégeant les derniers endroits sauvages de nos océans.

En participant à cette excursion, vous devenez un contributeur essentiel de l'effort de préservation et de protection du fragile système méso-américain de la barrière de corail. Vous constatez par vous-même les merveilles de l'océan et vous apprenez à mieux connaître les récifs coralliens et leur rôle essentiel dans la biosphère.

The guide was very knowledgeable and engaging and tried to take us to see as much as possible but it was extremely rough in the sea. I’m a fairly good swimmer but found it hard going. Sea wasn’t that clear so visibility wasn’t great

Interessante Schnorcheltour mit 2 anderen Teilnehmern- sehr gut. Meine Erwartungen zu den Informationen über den Erhalt und die Aufbauarbeit der Riffe wurde nicht erfüllt. Leider nur mit englischem-spanischem Guide. Die angesteuerten Schnorchelplätze waren sehr interessant und sehenswert.

The presentation was cut short as the projector stopped working. We were told that the reef is a symbiotic relationship between the coral building animals and zooxanthellae but not told why the reeds are under threat or how they get stressed. Once in the water it was very choppy and there was current and other groups so it was difficult to work out where we were supposed to be even with the leader shouting. The second stop was even rougher and current stronger. Not good for first time snorkelle
