Tuna Tour: The incredible experience of swimming with bluefin tuna

Today's proposal takes us five kilometers out to sea. It starts on dry land, of course. At the Almendra de Mar. From there, the catamaran departs to take us up close to the bluefin tuna. Wow, so close that you'll swim alongside these two-meter-long fish. And afterward, you can do a tasting. But let's get down to business. We're talking about an activity that's been going on for years and that leaves no one who participates in it indifferent. It's the Tuna Tour of Balfegó, the fish farmers who have brought bluefin tuna to the world's finest restaurants. In fact, you'll have seen on many restaurant menus that the tuna they serve is supplied by Balfegó.

Well, by doing this activity you have the opportunity to go by catamaran to where these tuna are found, in large pools, and swim. There is the option of doing snorkeling, for everyone, and diving, for those who know how. And then, obviously, tasting the tuna. The activity includes an educational section to learn more about tuna: how it reproduces, the health of the species, how it's caught... Keep in mind that no one is forced to do anything. You can just take the catamaran ride, you can swim or decide not to, and you can eat or not. They offer all options at prices ranging from 40 to 55 euros now in August, which is high season. Children get a discount. Children under four years old don't pay, and be careful, children under 5 are not allowed to swim. It's also important to note that they don't provide goggles and snorkels for hygiene reasons. You'll find everything on their website.
