Description

The coastline around Ayia Napa and Protaras is excellent for snorkelling. As well as an abundance of rock formations and caves, there are many species of marine life including turtles, lion fish and up to 20 more types of fish and sea creatures. Visibility is excellent and the water is warm for most of the year.

We enter from Glyki Nero beach and snorkel east along the Ayia Napa Sea Caves, including Lovers' Bridge, and back. If the sea is calm (it usually is before eleven during the summer season), we snorkel inside two of the sea caves. Then we snorkel at either Konnos beach or Green Bay and hope for sea turtle spotting which is very likely in summer.

Usually we have time to visit a third snorkelling spot. Usually we go to Blue Lagoon, for the scenic environment. Other possible options are Green Bay and Crystal Springs, for more biodiverse marine life.

The basic snorkelling route:
Along Ayia Napa Sea Caves (1+ km / 1 mi) (from Glyky Nero beach going east and back)

The we visit Konnos beach, where we snorkel, especially for sea turtle spotting.

Lastly, we may visit a third spot, either for the scenic environment (Blue Lagoon), or for hopefully more biodiverse marine life.

What is not included

Food & drinks

Transportation (The guide does offer participants a free ride from their hotel to the tour start point. This is not a taxi service and the vehicle holds a private car insurance)

Use of snorkelling equipment. For hygiene reasons you will need to bring your own. This can be purchased cheaply at most tourist shops around resort.

Wetsuits

Know before you go - Important information

Not suitable for wheelchairs or the less able.

This is a private tour.

Suitable for adults only with moderate physical fitness who are competent swimmers.

Not recommended for participants with heart complaints or other serious medical conditions.

A wetsuit is recommended before June and after September.

In case of forecasted choppy sea along the Agia Napa Sea Caves, instead, we snorkel only around East Cape Greko (if the weather is expected to be bad everywhere, we cancel the trip).

Snorkelling is a casual non-extreme activity. We take appropriate safety measures (eg using a buoy). Participants should always be alert and cautious when doing outdoor activities, especially in the sea.

We follow weather forecasts and meteorology very closely. If we see that the sea on a particular coast is not calm enough, then we will snorkel on a different coastline. If we see that the sea is rough everywhere, then we will cancel the trip and either reschedule for an alternative date or issue a refund is not suitable alternative can be found.

These trips are about exploration while respecting nature. We strive not to disturb the animals we see, we do not feed them and we avoid getting too close in a way that they may feel threatened, or may be harmed in any way.

As we move away from summer and temperature outside and in the water fall, participants may feel more comfortable wearing a wetsuit (or similar, even a UV protective long sleeved top), especially if we are spending a long time in the water. A 3mm suit should be more than enough for even the coolest days.

Snorkelling equipment is not provided due to hygiene. Snorkel gear can be bought in most tourist shops around resort.
