The 6 Lanzarote Snorkeling Tours That Earn Their Price

1.Kayak and Snorkeling at Papagayo Beach

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 430 reviews · 3 hours · from $58Our pick

Kayak along Lanzarote’s southern coast to Papagayo Beach with a guide such as Denise, Ismail, or Nina. After a safety lesson, you’ll paddle past cliffs, stop for photos, eat light snacks, and snorkel among fish in clear water. The route suits first-time kayakers, but you should be ready for steady exercise and changing sea conditions.

“I had signed up for the kayak and snorkeling tour, expecting a bit of a crowd, but to my surprise, I was the only participant because the others didn’t show up. What a luck! This turned the experience into a private tour, making it even more special. The guide was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, sharing lots of interesting facts about the surroundings, the sea, and marine life. During the kayaking trip, I had plenty of time to enjoy the stunning coastline, and we stopped along the way for a relaxing break at Papagayo Beach for a small picnic, where we enjoyed the sun and a pleasant conversation. I didn’t snorkel…”
