Snorkeling in Fujairah: Encounter turtles and reef fish

Four hours in the water, mask and fins, watching what lives below the surface

Snorkeling in Fujairah is a four-hour activity where you put on a mask, snorkel and fins and explore coral reefs and schools of fish from the surface, with a professional guide, all equipment provided, and soft drinks and water included. Life vests are available for anyone who wants surface support. A valid passport is required on the day of the trip.

The experience

You arrive at the snorkeling site, put on your mask and fins, and enter the water to watch the reef unfold beneath you. The coral and the schools of colorful fish are the main draw, but the real prize is spotting turtles, rays or sharks if the day is right. A professional snorkeling guide is available if you want one, and the boat crew handles all the setup. You just show up and get in. The luxury dive boat has a toilet on board and keeps you hydrated with unlimited soft drinks and water throughout the morning or afternoon.

All equipment is provided: mask, snorkel and fins. If you need surface support, a life vest is there. The boat itself is built for the day. It is not a rushed shuttle but a place to stay comfortable between water time. Infants sit on an adult's lap. Pregnant travelers and anyone with cardiovascular concerns should sit this one out. A guide speaks English, Italian, Arabic, Russian or another language on request, so the reef and what lives in it gets explained as you go.
