Dive into Madeira’s underwater side with a guided snorkelling trip in the island’s clear Atlantic waters, where rocky formations shelter fish and other marine life.

Guides take care of the route, safety, and equipment, so you can simply enjoy being in the water and seeing the coastline from a different angle.
Snorkelling is a simple, memorable way to experience Madeira from the Atlantic, and you don’t need any previous experience to take part.
Snorkeling spots in Madeira include Ponta de São Lourenço, the Garajau Natural Reserve, and the Calheta area. Guided boat-based snorkelling tours reach the calmer coves on the south and east coast that are tricky to access from shore.
No. Most guided snorkelling tours in Madeira are designed for beginners. The guide runs a short briefing, provides gear, and stays in the water with the group. Basic swimming ability is required.
Common sightings include parrotfish, damselfish, ornate wrasses, and octopus along rocky reefs. The Garajau Natural Reserve occasionally brings dusky groupers. Dolphins and whales are spotted from the boat rides between snorkelling stops.
