Portugal · SNORKELING IN MADEIRA
This is the shortlist to send a friend: 6 snorkeling in Madeira worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Kayak from Funchal to Garajau, paddle past Lazareto, then snorkel crystal-clear waters with fish and possible cliff jumps.
“Marco was a very friendly and informative guide, the snorkel spot was amazing and would recommend to anyone.”
Snorkel in Madeira near Funchal with a short lesson, gear, and bright fish sightings for about 2 hours, shore or protected reserve by boat.
“This was my first time snorkeling. I felt very safe and loved it”
2-hour Ponta de São Lourenço snorkeling by speedboat from Quinta do Lorde. Wetsuits, gear, and guides in protected waters.
“Great experience. Very helpful staff Jessie ( sorry if I spelled it wrong) and Hernan. They both were very friendly.”
Kayak into Madeira’s Garajau underwater nature reserve, then snorkel in Atlantic waters with safety gear and a small guide-led group.
“Booked a 9am kayaking tour with our guide Antonio Ramos. He was very knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna as well as the landmarks surrounding the area. He brought us to another snorkeling spot after our first one only had a few fish. At the second location we saw a huge amount of wildlife. The views above and below the water were exceptional and we thank Antonio for showing us all of it. We will return to Madeira in the future and will definitely be booking with Lokoloko again for more ocean adventures.”
Kayak from Caniço into Garajau Marine Reserve, then snorkel clear Atlantic waters with a local guide. Small group, 2 hours.
“Communication before the trip was good. Our guides were fab and fun. Instructions were clear. Life jackets provided.The area that we went kayaking and snorkeling was beautiful and there were lots of fish. It was nice that it was a protected nature reserve. There's a hotel and nice restaurant nearby to have a pleasant drink in afterwards too. We loved the area.”
Paddle a kayak in Funchal’s Atlantic, then snorkel on your break. Small groups, lifejackets mandatory, and a low-stress 90 minutes.
“Fabio and Roberto made sure everyone had an amazing time. Very fun activity and suitable for most. My friend Marwan Alhaddad also says he enjoyed.”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
