Malaga · SNORKELING
The good snorkelling trips fill up first in spring and again in September. Here are 8 of them, with prices, durations and the detail that decides between two that look alike.
Nerja snorkeling by speedboat to Maro-Cerro Gordo, sea scooter time, wetsuit gear, and free GoPro photos from Educare Aventura.
“Guide was absolutely fantastic and very informative throughout the tour! Would recommend to anyone”
Paddle the Maro-Cerro Gordo cliffs in a kayak, then snorkel in clear coves near Almuñécar with a friendly English-speaking crew.
“Hi, Kate. As soon as we arrive we see offshore that the waves are getting bigger and bigger. Despite the message received by another group that we should not go there we went anyway. Several people vomited because of seasickness which left the ride a little less fun, the waves rose up to 2m high.Because of the waves we could not get into the caves, otherwise the visit does not make much sense anymore. Despite this, we still have a memory that will be remembered.Auto-translated”
Benalmádena boat trip with dolphin search, snorkeling a 1852 shipwreck, a 20-foot sea slide, kayaks, paddle boards, and lunch.
“the boys luiz and alvi did a very great job, the bus driver josé was also very friendly. we were late due to a triatlon in town but they took the time to let us enjoy the boottrip a little bit longer. they searched until we found the common dolphins, very closely to our boat, the ship wreck was nice to experience and we got tips and tricks how to dive to it. they made awesome films of us! the sandwiches were very tastfull. after the ship wreck we got to enjoy a little playing in the sea with the slide, kajaks and supp boards… in the return home we…”
Small-group hike from Maro to a natural park beach with optional snorkeling, clear-water swimming, and included fruit, water, and snorkel gear.
“Amazing little trip to an oasis. Really beautiful location for snorkelling, and the host is extremely helpful, knowledgable and has a great sense of humour. Highly recommend this trip!”
Boat tour from Benalmadena with dolphin spotting, snorkel at an 1852 shipwreck, a 20-foot sea slide, plus kayak or paddle board and snacks.
“We were lucky enough to see lots and lots of dolphins. I was hoping to see some colorful fish but we didn’t see any! I though for sure on a snorkeling trip you would see at least some fish or even a turtle. Lunch was not what I thought it would be. They offered a sandwich and water. I was expecting at least a snack and a piece of fruit. I was also expecting a bigger boat.”
Half-day hike from Malaga to the Cliffs of Maro, then snorkel a secluded bay. Small group, included gear, and a 16th-century tower.
“Amazing activity; nice hike with beautiful views topped with snorkelling in a super warm, secluded bay with many fish. Alfonso is great, very relaxed yet totally responsible and alway in control. He broke the monotonicity of the flat part of the hike with a botany lesson where we learned to recognize mango & avocado trees, sugar canes, chilli moya (spelling ok? we did not know at all this one), and much more. This is a relatively easy hike, just a tiny bit challenging for people who never did any hikes before only because the path is narrow and occasionally one slides on the dry dirt. This activity is totally worth…”
Hike Costa del Sol cliffs near Nerja, find Moorish towers and secret beaches, snorkel turquoise water, then enjoy a local picnic.
“Great hike along the cliffs in the natural park of Maro and Nerja. Moderately strenuous hike with some steep areas and loose gravel. Thanks David for helping Monica on some of the downhills! Breathtaking views along the coast from the top. Our family of four from US with two young teens and family of 3 from South Africa. We made our way down to a small remote beach with a pebbly shore that was a little tough on the feet without water shoes. Water was chilly but refreshing after the hike. Visibility was limited near shore by surf break breaking and some floating algae but there were lots of fish…”
Private boat cruise from Puerto Banús with snorkeling and paddle board, drinks onboard, and chances to spot dolphins off Marbella.
“Perfect!! Veronica was the best captain, all of us had a great time, a great swim and lots of fun with the snorkel and paddle board. The drinks were perfect to stay hydrated! Highly recommended !!”
Every kind of day out on this coast, and the best of each.
