Full description

Join us on an unforgettable snorkel experience in one of Tenerife's marine protected areas known for its incredible coastal biodiversity. Snorkel in crystal clear waters amongst tropical and sub-tropical fish along Tenerife's southeast coast while enjoying the best equipment and professional care.

The tour leaves from the beach in Abades. This marine protected area has a sheltered bay with calm waters that are suitable for all swimmers. With beautiful rocky reef formations and hidden coves that provide a habitat for a variety of colorful fish, from curious octopuses and camouflaged seahorses. The tranquil sea grass surrounding the reefs give you a chance to spot green sea turtles in their natural habitat. Snorkeling in this marine protected area promises you an impressive journey into the heart of nature's beauty.

THIS ACTIVITY IS FOR ALL AGES, and you don't need to be a good swimmer or have previous experience snorkeling!
