Snorkelling: discover the Monegasque seabed

Equipped with your mask, snorkel and flippers, you can explore the splendid underwater landscapes of the Larvotto Reserve, with its posidonia, gorgonian sea fans and multicoloured fish. It's a unique and fun way to discover Monaco's rich marine biodiversity, while enjoying an activity that's accessible to everyone aged 8 and over.

The snorkelling tour is ideal for a family outing or a day out with friends. You don't need to have any diving experience: just be able to swim and let yourself be guided to observe the marine life in crystal-clear waters. The activity lasts around 1h30, including an educational briefing and the aquatic walk.
