About

The Trip: It is a private customised snorkeling trip, depending on travelers’ preferences and time availability.

The water is usually crystal clear and snorkelling along this rugged coastline, with sea caves and rock formations, in light blue waters, is a great experience.

Pickup time: Lovers' Bridge is the meeting place. Otherwise if travellers would like a free ride in our private car from Larnaca it is at 09:00.

Pickup location: The guide as a rule can offer a free ride (from an agreed place eg hotel, no ports or airports) from Larnaca. It should be clear that guiding time starts when the guide meets the travellers.

Itinerary: We enter from Glyky Nero beach and snorkel east along the Agia Napa Sea Caves, including Lovers' Bridge, and back. If the sea is calm (it usually is before eleven during the summer season), we snorkel inside two to four of the sea caves.

Then we snorkel (usually either around Konnos beach or Green Bay) and hopefully for sea turtle spotting (very likely in summer).
