Snorkeling in Kos: Half-day boat to Pserimos

Anchor in a quiet bay and snorkel at your own speed

A half-day snorkeling trip from Kos to Pserimos on a small boat that stays anchored in one sheltered bay, giving you hours to snorkel, swim and sunbathe without moving between sites. The boat carries both snorkelers and a separate introductory scuba group, so you have full freedom to explore the water or rest on the sun deck. Snorkeling equipment is provided. Guides speak English and Greek. The trip requires a minimum of 10 snorkelers to run and may be rescheduled if sea conditions turn rough.

The experience

The boat leaves Kos around 09:00 and heads to Pserimos, where it anchors in a calm, shallow bay with clear water. You get snorkeling equipment and the whole afternoon to use it: no rushing between stops, no crowded group schedule. Swim out when you want, come back when you want, or stay on the sun deck and watch the Aegean. A certified scuba group operates in the same bay, but they're separate. You're on your own schedule.

This is a family-run operation built around comfort and space rather than packing in numbers. The boat stays put for several hours, so you can settle into the rhythm of the water instead of chasing a timetable. Children from age 5 are welcome, and the boat is wheelchair accessible if you need it. The trip lasts about five and a half hours total, including travel time to and from Kos.

What’s included
