The underwater scooter at Ngor Island is a 30-minute session with an electric propeller, to explore around the island swimming with far less effort. A briefing is given before departure, and the price is per person.

Swimming without wearing yourself out

The electric underwater scooter pulls the swimmer through the water: it helps you move underwater and at the surface, so that you can enjoy the surroundings of Ngor Island with much less effort. The experience mixes swimming, discovering the seabed and the thrill of gliding. The session lasts 30 minutes, in the morning or the afternoon, and the price is per person.

The scooter and the briefing are included: how it works is explained before departure, and the safety instructions given on site must be followed. Bring a swimsuit and a towel, and arrive a few minutes before the session starts. Access to the activity may depend on age and ease in the water, and it depends on the weather and the state of the sea.

Ngor, village and island

Ngor is a village district at the northern tip of the Cap-Vert peninsula, known for its lively beach, its Lébou culture and its island, reached by pirogue. The underwater scooter offers another way to explore the coast: from below rather than from above, with the island as a backdrop. It is for people who love the water but do not want to spend the session fighting to move forward, and it combines with a break on the beach or a lunch in the village. If you live in Dakar, it is a playful activity to add to a beach day; if you are visiting, a short highlight to slip between a visit to the island and a lunch by the water. The Ngor page presents the district, and the Ngor Island page details its atmosphere.

Other ways to explore the sea

To carry on, diving and snorkelling offer more technical approaches, paddle and kayak stay at the surface, and the boat excursions widen the setting.
