Small Group Snorkeling in Abades Bay with Licensed Guide
Overview
Abades is a local village on the east coast of the island, away from the tourist area. This makes it a quiet area, with a quiet, sandy, natural beach. Since fishing is forbidden here and there isn´t much movement at the surface, like swimmers and boat traffic, the ocean here is full of life, which you find close to shore.
Our snorkel spots are easily accessible from this beach, which we find a minute's walk away from our dive center.
If you'd like to eat or drink anything after snorkeling, you´ll find small restaurants with outside terraces and a supermarket directly on the cozy square in front of our center.
Non-snorkers will enjoy the beach.
What's Included

- Use of Snorkelling equipment
- Access to your snorkel profile and online registration of your experience
- Snorkel insurance

What To Expect
Discover the wonderful underwater world of the Atlantic Ocean in the protected bay of Abades on Tenerife. No previous experience is needed, and within our small groups, you will get very personal attention.
Upon arrival at the dive center, you will be provided with your new outfit, which consists of a wetsuit, mask, snorkel, and fins. Your instructor will explain to you how to use the equipment and how we should behave in the water.
You will then be transported to another world, accessible directly from the beach, and experience how it feels to breathe underwater through a snorkel while floating at the surface. Hold your breath and try to swim down a few meters underwater; it's good fun!
No previous experience is needed for this snorkel adventure to explore our beautiful, vulcanic house reef. You might see sleeping octopus and be followed by schools of inquisitive fish of a huge variety of shapes, colors, and sizes, like trumpetfish, parrotfish, rays, and starfish. Who knows? You might see a seahorse or come face-to-face with a turtle.
After an hour of snorkeling with a guide, you are allowed to use the snorkeling equipment and discover more of our bay by yourself.

Yes, we allow pregnant women to go on snorkeling. However, it’s crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before doing so to assess your individual health and pregnancy stage.
Jan 2022Yes, this is possible, as long as you are comfortable going into the water. All Cool Tenerife snorkeling tours adhere to strict safety regulations and have been designed to be enjoyed by all.
Your safety is our #1 priority, which is why:
- You will be wearing a flotation device at all times.
- On many tours, there is a stairway from the boat into the water so you won’t have to “jump” in!
- There are trained staff in the water and watching from the boat at all times.
For these reasons, we believe that even non-swimmers can have a wonderful time on our snorkeling trips, however, the final judgment call is yours to make. Please note we do not give refunds if you decide not to snorkel on the trip.
Oct 2021The snorkel gear we use on Cool Tenerife tours is high quality and for your protection, the equipment is sanitized after each use. However, if you feel more comfortable using your own snorkeling equipment, feel free to bring it on the tour. Please note, there is no discount for providing your own equipment and we can’t be responsible for any lost or damaged items.
May 2023First-time snorkelers can be assured of one-on-one instruction and assistance. We find introducing folks to our world very rewarding!

Sep 2021If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.
