Hidden coves, clear water and incredible wildlife encounters

This wild snorkelling experience takes you to a secluded cove along the Mounts Bay coastline, where the water can be crystal clear and rich with marine life. Below the surface, you’ll discover white sandy patches surrounded by rocky reefs alive with movement, from darting sand eels to curious wrasse and pollock weaving through seaweed.

Stone crevices and rocky ledges are home to brown and spider crabs, while the bay itself is occasionally visited by Atlantic grey seals, offering truly special moments in the water.

You’ll be guided in the water by a qualified British Sub Aqua Club snorkelling instructor, helping you make the most of the experience while staying safe and confident throughout.
