🤿 Snorkeling in Flores – The Atlantic Ocean Within Everyone's Reach

Flores Island hides beneath its surface a world just as breathtaking as what you see on land. Crystal-clear waters, rocky seabeds teeming with life, colourful fish, sea urchins, starfish and, very frequently, unforgettable encounters with the Azores' marine wildlife.

At Zagaia Flores, we make snorkeling accessible to everyone — with or without a boat.

Never snorkeled before? No problem. All our tours are adapted to each participant's level of experience. Our guide accompanies you every step of the way, ensuring safety and confidence in the water.

🌊 Shore Snorkeling (new)

The most accessible and spontaneous way to explore the underwater world of Flores. Departures take place directly from the island's coastline, with the entry point chosen according to sea conditions on the day — always ensuring the best waters and maximum safety.

Guided by a professional holding a degree in Biology and a Master's in Marine Biology, every session is also a marine ecology lesson: learn to identify species, understand coastal ecosystems and dive into the unique biodiversity of the Azores.
