The journey begins at Los Cristianos Port, with a short 10-minute boat ride to the Montaña de Guaza marine reserve, specifically the "Bufadero" dive site. This protected area is a known sanctuary for several sea turtles. While these are wild animals and sightings are never 100% guaranteed, Vibe Dive Tenerife boasts an impressive 95% success rate for turtle encounters. Even on the rare occasions when turtles are not visible, the site teems with other fascinating marine creatures, including various species of rays, barracudas, needlefish, parrotfish, and bogas, offering a rich biodiversity experience.

All necessary snorkeling equipment is provided, including a wetsuit for added buoyancy and warmth, high-quality goggles, and a snorkel. The center strictly adheres to guidelines for respecting the turtles' space, emphasizing that participants should never touch or disturb them. A minimum age of 8 years is required, with parental consent needed for minors. Participants must also meet a minimum health and fitness standard and possess basic swimming abilities. Transportation from hotels between Los Cristianos and Fañabé is available upon request, subject to availability. Remember to bring a towel, swimsuit, and flip-flops, and avoid large backpacks due to limited boat space.

This Snorkeling Tour is an excellent introduction to Tenerife's marine environment, particularly for those curious about sea turtles. The consistent sea temperatures, averaging around 21°C, make it comfortable for extended exploration. The "Bufadero" site is renowned for its accessibility and the high probability of observing marine life, making it a prime location for this introductory aquatic adventure.
