Snorkelling: discover the Monegasque seabed

Equipped with your mask, snorkel and flippers, you'll explore the splendid underwater landscapes of the Larvotto Reserve, among posidonia, gorgonian sea fans and multicolored 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 snorkeling tour is ideal for a family outing or an outing with friends. No diving experience is necessary: all you need is to 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.
