Snorkeling in Cebu: Choose 3 Water Activities

Pick your water activities and spend a morning doing them all

A private snorkeling and water activity package in Cebu lets you choose snorkeling plus three other activities from a menu that includes wake board, stand-up paddle board, jet ski, scuba diving, and inflatable rides. You pick the combination, try them in one morning at Kontiki Marina on Mactan, and get private transport, all equipment, and underwater photos if you choose diving. A guide in English, Japanese or Filipino leads the activities.

The experience

You start at Kontiki Marina, Mactan, where the location sits close to the beach. The package works like this: you choose snorkeling as your base, then pick three more activities from the menu. Wake board runs 30 minutes; stand-up paddle board takes an hour; jet ski is 30 minutes; the inflatable rides (Wow MAX, Wow Blast, Cookie) each run 20 minutes. If you add scuba diving instead of one of the others, the instructor photographs and films you underwater, and you can rent a GoPro Hero 12 with a 64GB card to capture your own footage. Private transport is included, so there's no separate booking for getting there.

The whole experience runs about three hours. You get use of all snorkeling and diving equipment, a hot shower afterward, towel and locker access. The guide speaks English, Japanese or Filipino, so you follow the instruction in whichever language works for your group. Underwater photos and videos are free if you dive. The GoPro rental costs extra if you want your own camera rolling.

What's the difference between the inflatable rides, Wow MAX, Wow Blast and Cookie?

All three are 20-minute inflatable water rides available at Kontiki Marina. The reference material lists them as activity options but does not describe how each one differs, so ask the operator for details on which one suits your preference.

Do I need to bring my own snorkeling gear?

No. Use of snorkeling and scuba equipment is included in the package, so you arrive without gear and the operator provides everything.

Is there a minimum fitness level required?

The activity is suitable for all physical fitness levels. However, it is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health, or pregnancy, and anyone with a doctor's restriction on exercise cannot participate.

How far is Kontiki Marina from central Cebu?

Kontiki Marina is located on Mactan, which is the island across from Cebu City. Private transport is included, so the operator handles the drive. Public transportation options are also available nearby if you prefer to arrange your own way there.
