Snorkeling & Kayaking Tours

Whether it’s your first time snorkeling or you’re a coral reef connoisseur, life under the sea never ceases to amaze. Best of all, you don’t need to have a diving certification to have face-to-face encounters with some of the ocean’s most fascinating creatures, all you have to do is pick a destination and step into the shallow waters from your liveaboard yacht, zodiac boat, or sandy beach. Check out our list of favorite places to snorkel around the world!

Many areas, like the sprawling Raja Ampat Archipelago and Galapagos Islands, are so spread out and diverse, that a boat-based trip is the best way to go. Staying at a resort will only give you a small snapshot of the underwater diversity. Additionally, if you are on a boat, you are often much closer to your snorkel locations each day so you can maximize your time in the water instead of relying on day trips from a resort.

Join us as we experience the ocean’s wonders alongside its greatest explorers—magnificent whales. We’ve timed our journeys in five unique destinations to match the migration of whales (and whale sharks!), giving you incredible up-close encounters with these amazing creatures. 

You might think slipping into a swimsuit and slapping on some sunscreen is all you need for your trip, but there are specific items you’ll want to pack. Here are some of our most requested and recommended to make your next snorkeling adventure unforgettable.
