Snorkeling in Larnaca Bay: Zenobia shipwreck & fishing

Snorkel the Zenobia wreck and fish the same morning

A four-hour snorkeling and fishing activity in Larnaca Bay starts at the marina and reaches the Zenobia shipwreck (a Swedish cargo ferry that sank in 1980) within 25 minutes. You snorkel with provided gear, fish with supplied equipment, swim at a second stop along the west coast, and eat a traditional Cypriot buffet for lunch. Any fish you catch gets cooked onboard. Hotel pickup and an English-speaking guide are included.

The experience

The boat leaves Larnaca Marina at 09:00 and reaches the Zenobia shipwreck in 25 minutes. You get a mask and snorkeling gear and can explore the wreck underwater or simply swim at the surface. The site sits in clear Mediterranean water where the ferry's hull is visible. After Zenobia, the boat moves along Larnaca's west coast near the airport for a second swimming stop, then heads to the beachfront for lunch.

Fishing happens early in the morning, and the boat supplies all the equipment you need. If you catch something, the crew cooks it onboard and serves it as part of your lunch. Those who don't fish can sunbathe or snorkel during that time. The meal itself is a traditional Cypriot buffet with homemade dishes and BBQ, served at the historical beachfront. Red wine, white wine, zivania (local grape pomace), soft drinks and water come with it.

Hotel pickup is included in the price, and the four-hour duration covers travel time both ways. The guide speaks English and leads the activity throughout the morning.
