Guided Snorkel & Freediving

Tour

Are you curious what snorkelling in Cork (and Ireland) looks like?
Thought there is nothing to see, or you can’t go snorkelling because the sea is colder?

Let us introduce you to our guided snorkel tour experiences.


Mindfully structured and guided to allow for an amazing experience, regardless of whether you are a beginner or a snorkel pro.

Small groups only (4-5) unless stated otherwise.

Locations:

We use different locations around Cork and dont have a fixed base; it has a lot to do with the weather and wind conditions.

You will receive an email with the exact location and weather confirmation 2 days before the snorkel tour once you booked in.

We appreciate your understanding and flexibility. Read more here about why that is:


Some locations we might use:

Roberts Cove, Oysterhaven, Myrtleville, Glengarriff area, Skiberreen area or Dooneen area.
