Snorkeling on Crete
We can offer you a lot of possibilities to snorkel on Crete. We offer snorkel lessons at diving schools. You can go with a speedboat to a nice snorkeling spot or even with our Boat trips there is a change to have a nice snorkel experience. But you can also snorkel in the neighbourhood by yourself. There are enough opportunities to snorkel on Crete.

Snorkeling tour with speed boat
We always do a snorkelling lesson in the pool before the snorkelling excursion explaining the basics of safety rules and equipment. From a little harbour in the South of Crete we go by boat to a deserted beach where you can only come by boat or by foot. Here we spend the day, snorkelling and enjoying the beach. We prepare lunch on the beach. And for those who like, we visit a monastery located high on the rocks. From here you have a great view over the bay.

Day trip to Agio Farango

A wonderful combination of a short gorge hike in the south of Crete and an afternoon of snorkeling in the Libyan Sea. The gorge walk is only 6 km and is very impressive because of its rough nature and special rock formations. At the end of the gorge we will have an amazing view of a secluded bay. Snorkeling out here is a wondrous experience; you can see the bottom of the sea without a problem. We will snorkel to a tiny island with mysterious underwater tunnels; we will see tropical fish and make the most beautiful pictures. We will have lunch on the beach, because this much beauty will get everyone hungry. This day is a big chance for snorkeling on Crete.

Snorkel lessons
There is also an opportunity to have snorkel lessons on Crete. We can arrange snorkel lessons for you or we will send you to a nice diving school to have the snorkel lessons.

Also have a look at the snorkel excursion photobook.

Ideal conditions for an active week: beautiful spring weather with a pleasant 22°C. Although there may be a sprinkle of rain later in the week, it will quickly clear up again for a sun-drenched continuation.
