If you’re headed to Costa Teguise and looking for something truly different, the Underwater Sea Trek Experience might just be your next adventure. This activity, offered by Native Diving Lanzarote, lets you walk on the sea floor while feeling weightless—almost like you’re treading on the moon. It’s a popular choice for those who want a safe, guided underwater encounter without needing prior diving experience.
What really catches people’s attention are two things: how surreal it feels walking underwater with a helmet offering panoramic views, and the chance to get up close with marine creatures in their natural habitat.

This experience suits travelers seeking a safe, accessible underwater adventure that’s great for first-timers, families, or anyone curious about marine life but not comfortable with traditional diving. If you’re after a memorable, quick underwater escape with friendly guides, this could be just right.

What Is the Underwater Sea Trek Experience?

This isn’t your typical snorkel or scuba trip. It’s a walk on the sea floor using a special helmet with a wide, panoramic visor. Connected to a surface boat with an air supply, the helmet gives you the sensation of zero gravity—almost like floating or walking on the moon. The experience is designed to be safe, straightforward, and enjoyable, even if you’ve never been in the water before.
The equipment is included, along with guides who are there to make sure everyone feels secure. You simply walk along the seabed, surrounded by colorful fish and other marine life, which are often fed to encourage their close-up visits.

The Itinerary and Experience Breakdown

When you arrive, you’ll be greeted by friendly staff who will give a detailed safety briefing and demonstration. Many reviews mention how attentive the guides are—checking on everyone constantly and making sure you’re comfortable. The helmets are designed to be easy to wear, and despite initial nerves, most say they felt confident pretty quickly.
Once suited up, you’ll board a small boat that takes you to the designated spot. The actual walk lasts approximately 30 minutes, during which you’ll move slowly along the seabed, enjoying the marine scenery through your helmet’s panoramic view.
While underwater, you’ll be able to see a variety of fish and underwater creatures, and some guides even take photos and videos for you to buy afterward. Many guests, like Rebecca, mention that even after storms affecting visibility, there was plenty of marine life to enjoy. Peter, another happy participant, noted that even at 67 and not being a swimmer, he found it absolutely brilliant.
The Equipment and Guides

The helmets are designed to give a clear, 360-degree view, making the experience more immersive than traditional snorkeling. Guides are experienced and multilingual, speaking English, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, and German. They explain everything clearly, ensure safety, and help those who might feel nervous.
Reviews highlight how guides take the time to make everyone comfortable, with some even taking photos and videos so participants can focus on the experience rather than worrying about capturing it. The guides’ professionalism and friendliness are often praised, making the entire activity feel relaxed and fun.
Duration, Price, and Practicalities

At $85 per person, the price reflects the uniqueness of the experience. Considering what you get—a guided underwater walk in a safe environment—the cost is quite reasonable. It’s a short activity at around 30 minutes, but many find that it’s enough to give a memorable taste of underwater life without the commitment of a longer dive.
The activity runs at scheduled times, and you should arrive 15 minutes early to get fitted with equipment and go over safety instructions. It’s worth noting that cameras are not allowed during the trek, so you’ll need to buy photos afterward if you want to keep a record.
The group size is limited to 8 participants, ensuring personal attention and a more intimate experience. This makes it ideal if you prefer a small-group vibe rather than large crowds.

This experience isn’t suitable for everyone. It’s not recommended for those with limited mobility, recent surgeries, or pregnancy. Children under 8 are not permitted, but kids from 8 and above often love it, especially if they’re curious about marine life and don’t mind wearing a helmet.
Reviewers mention that the helmets aren’t as tricky as they look, and guides are very helpful with instructions. Still, it’s good to be aware that this is an active, guided walk—so if you’re looking for a passive activity, this might not be the right fit.
The Value for Money

Given that the equipment, guides, and the unique underwater experience are all included, $85 feels justified for many. Reviewers highlight the safety, professionalism, and fun atmosphere created by the team. Plus, the opportunity to hold fish and see marine creatures up close is a bonus.
Many guests, such as Steven and Justine, have expressed that it’s among the best experiences they’ve ever had, especially considering how safe and well-organized it was. The photos and videos, available for purchase afterward, add a nice touch, allowing you to relive the moment.
