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 Ayia Napa or Protaras it is at 09:15 outside July and August and at 09:00 in July and August.
Pickup location: The guide as a rule can offer a free ride (from an agreed place eg hotel, etc, in Ayia Napa, or Protaras). 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).
In some cases we have time to visit a third snorkelling spot. Usually we go to Blue Lagoon, for the scenic environment. Other possible options are Green Bay and Crystal Springs, for more biodiverse marine life.
The basic snorkeling route: Along Agia Napa Sea Caves (1+ km / 1 mi) (from Glyky Nero beach going east and back)
Then we visit Konnos beach, where we snorkel, especially for sea turtle spotting.
Lastly, if we have time we may visit a third spot, either for the scenic environment (Blue Lagoon), or for hopefully more biodiverse marine life.
Transportation: The package doesnot include transportation. If travellers are interested, the guide is usually able to offer them a free ride in the company's private car from Ayia Napa or from Protaras.
