SNORKEL TOUR AROUND NEWQUAY’S COASTLINE

Get ready to dive into Newquay’s awesome coastline, exploring hidden caverns and getting a unique, up-close perspective on its marine life.

With the correct safety advice and instruction, snorkelling is quick and easy to learn. Our Snorkel Tour has been designed to teach you many core skills. First, our instructors teach you the basics. Then we’ll set off to find some of Newquay’s most interesting underwater worlds with some unique and adventurous snorkelling.  

We launch and land from two of Newquay’s lush, semi-secret coves. The experience kicks off with adventure, as we follow a rocky path to the water’s edge. It’s worth the trek down here, as the scenery is breathtaking and there is some incredible coastal wildlife in the area – you’re about to experience the best of Newquay’s coastal fringe. We’ll take the walk down to the water slowly – the ocean will be waiting for you.

There is no pressure on our Snorkel Tour. Feel free to enjoy the session as you wish – it’s entirely up to you! Our experienced instructors are there to help – no matter your skill level.

HISTORY COMES ALIVE

Newquay’s coastal scenery is simply stunning, but delve a little deeper and you’ll discover the markings of a history that’s rife with mystery and drama. From gin-plundering pirates to raging storms and shipwrecks, yesteryear’s gripping past is etched into the landscape of today.

You’ll explore the coastline above and below the water’s surface, navigating your way through caves once occupied by seafaring pirates. Keep an eye out for forgotten treasures beneath the waves.

UNDERWATER SECRETS

Jump in and peer into our natural marine ecosystem just minutes from Towan Beach.

Due to the abundance of marine life around the shores of Newquay, you needn’t venture too far down to witness the magic of the ocean. Our Snorkelling Tour comprises a relaxed surface swim where you can see plenty of wonder with your snorkel safely above the water line. You can also use this time simply to chill out and enjoy the views if you prefer – the choice is yours!

Our exclusive Snorkel Tours offer a different perspective of the seascape and a glimpse into the marine environment below. Whether you’re passionate about nature and the outdoors, are simply curious about our coastline’s marine environment, or want to try something unique, this is the adventure for you.

WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS EXTREME WEATHER?

We are super fortunate to operate many of our activities in the shelter of Towan Beach. We choose the tide and weather times that deliver the very best conditions for Snorkeling  Tours. However, we are at the mercy of Mother Nature and sometimes she may have different plans for us. We always check the forecasted conditions but if the wind or swell picks up unexpectedly, we will move your session on to our Super SUPs. This will ensure you still cover the same route and session content but will be on a craft that is more resilient against the conditions.  Alternatively, we may offer a different time or location for your tour.

Over 95% of our tours go ahead unaffected by the weather but, in the unlikely event that we can’t run your tour, we have excellent back-up options for you to choose from. We appreciate your understanding.
