Kayak and Snorkeling Tour in Underwater Nature Reserve Garajau
By Lokoloko Madeira · listed in scuba diving and snorkelling trips in Madeira
For snorkelling with a kayak trip, this is the one I'd look at in summer. You paddle along the Garajau underwater nature reserve with a guide. There is time to snorkel and swim.
Snorkelling gear and a life jacket are included. Meet at the Lokoloko shop beside the Galosol reception in Caniço de Baixo. Arrange your own transport and food.
A booking normally needs at least two people. If you're travelling alone, ask whether others have booked your date. Everyone needs to be able to swim. Ages 6 to 99 can join.

Who checked this
Edited by Roman Antonov. I love Madeira and keep going back. Trip details come from the operator's own listing on Viator, as of 13 September 2026. One detail is ours: the listing doesn't say where the aquarium is, and it's in Porto Moniz.
