Snorkeling in Chania is a beloved recreational activity, ideal for families due to the warm, clear waters. It offers the chance to observe marine life in its natural habitat and savor the tranquility of the surroundings. Suited for all ages, snorkeling requires no special training, just the ability to swim and use a snorkel.
Participants will be picked up and transported to the dive center where they will complete the necessary paperwork. Your guide will provide a briefing on snorkeling equipment, technique and the two snorkeling locations. Subsequently, you will change into your wetsuit and boots, securing all unnecessary personal items in one of our lockers. Boarding our boats, conveniently situated 50 meters from the dive center, marks the next step.
Embark on a delightful 20-25 minute boat trip to the first snorkeling location using one of our fast RHIB boats, meticulously crafted for snorkeling excursions. Upon reaching the initial spot, receive your snorkeling equipment and immerse yourself in the crystal-clear waters under our guidance for approximately 1 hour, and enjoy the opportunity to feed the fish. After this duration, all participants will reboard the boat for a brief break, enjoying surface refreshments like water and a small snack. Once everyone is back on board and refreshed, we'll set sail for the second snorkeling location.
Gear up once more and explore the beautiful island of Lazaretta during your snorkeling adventure. You're free to navigate the area while the guide keeps a watchful eye from the boat. Here you will have the opportunity to feed the fish again and visit the very historic island of Lazaretta, once a Leper colony in the 17th century. After about an hour, return to the boat for the journey back to the dive center. Shortly thereafter, you'll be transferred to the original pickup location.
