Los Cristianos: Snorkeling on a Lava Reef

About this experience

Los Cristianos Snorkeling on a Lava Reef Tickets This ticket admits you to a guided snorkelling session above Tenerife's volcanic reef off the coast of Los Cristianos. Your qualified instructor leads the group through an extraordinary underwater landscape of lava rock formations that rise from the Atlantic seabed, creating a sheltered marine habitat in crystal-clear water. The reef system is home to schools of colourful fish, rays, and a variety of other marine life living freely in these protected waters. This beginner-friendly session includes a comprehensive safety briefing and all necessary equipment, including mask, snorkel, fins, and a swimming float for extra buoyancy. Your instructor stays with the group throughout, pointing out marine species encountered along the way and explaining the unique geology beneath the waves. The session takes place in calm, sheltered water, making it well suited to families and first-time snorkellers.
