Small Group Snorkeling in Abades Bay with Licensed Guide
Description
Abades is a local village on the east coast of the island, away from the tourist area. This makes it a quiet area, with a quiet, sandy, natural beach. Since fishing is forbidden here and there isn´t much movement at the surface, like swimmers and boat traffic, the ocean here is full of life, which you find close to shore. Our snorkel spots are easily accessible from this beach, which we find a minute's walk away from our dive center. If you'd like to eat or drink anything after snorkeling, you´ll find small restaurants with outside terraces and a supermarket directly on the cozy square in front of our center. Non-snorkers will enjoy the beach.

We were totally thrilled. Katharina explained everything to us calmly. For us, it was the first experience with snorkeling. We swam surprisingly far out. Would love to do it again.
Vielen lieben Dank für eure lieben Worte. Es freut uns sehr, dass es euch bei uns gefallen hat. Wir hoffen euch bald mal wieder bei uns begrüssen zu dürfen. Sonnige Grüsse vom gesamten Team
We had a very relaxing and fun time snorkeling with Cindy. She picked us up with a smile on her face and was very enjoyable the entire time. After the hour snorkeling tour with Cindy showing us around we had plenty of time to have a meal and rehydrate before going back into the sea. Included was to use the gear again and go snorkeling by ourselves which we really enjoyed. Thanks again! Highly recommend <3
Thank you so very much for your kind words. It wasn´t too hard to have a smile on my face the whole time :) The fact that you , and especially your little girl , were so entusiastic , that´s exactly why we do what we do :) Up to her first dive next time!! A very merry Christmas to you and your family
We went snorkeling for the first time and it was great. Very friendly, accommodating, you were not just a customer. We were able to admire turtles, octopuses and many other water creatures. Many thanks for this beautiful experience.
Vielen lieben Dank für eure Worte. Ja wir hatten einen tollen Schnorchelausflug und haben echt viel gesehen :-). Wir freuen uns sehr, dass es euch so gut gefallen hat und hoffen euch bald mal wieder bei uns begrüssen zu können. Ganz liebe Grüsse
This is an awesome experience! The bay in Abades is full of life and you get to see a lot of different species. If you are lucky as my group was, you even get to see a turtle! The Zeus Dive Center can pick you up, or (if you stay in Puerto de la Cruz like I did), you can drive yourself. There is a little office in the back of the square (Google maps isn’t very clear, but if you walk around the square you will find it next to the cafe). There you will do registration and getting the gear. The people are very friendly (and they even have a dutch guide, which was very cool for me coming from the Netherlands). After you are all set, a guide will snorkel with you for an hour and then you can decide to snorkel longer by yourself. I highly recommend this, as you can snorkel and see marine life for hours like that. All in all a very nice experience, away from mass tourism on Tenerife, so I’d highly recommend it!
Thank you so much Anna for your review. Abades is definitely worth a visit, and we are always happy to show our guests our wonderful bay and all its inhabitants :-). We are delighted that you enjoyed your time here with us and hope to welcome you back soon. Best regards from the Team Zeus Dive Center Tenerife
The area is really chill and does not feel touristic. The guides are very friendly and helpful. We had a small group of only four people. The timing is relaxed, so avoid planning this activity on a busy day. The equipment is excellent, and the wetsuits are great. I was worried it would be cold in the water, but I didn’t feel cold at all. The sea life exceeded my expectations, with many fascinating things to see. I can definitely recommend this experience. I was lucky enough to see a turtle, and our guide even swam down to capture a close-up view. I highly recommend it!
We had a fabulous time snorkelling saw loads of fish that we don't normally see when snorkelling on our own and even saw a turtle! The whole team are friendly and informative and make you feel so at ease. If you're in tenerife then make sure you give them a visit.
