Ideal location for shore diving and great guides.
We had booked 10 dives and a night dive over 5 days prior to our visit. We had planned a guided shore dive in the mornings and boat diving in the afternoon. We are all experienced divers but used to going at a very slow pace. Our guide, Sergio, listened to us and slowed the pace down for us, thank you. We did a night dive with Marcín. He wasn't too keen and I think he hoped we would go unguided, but being our first day, we weren't sure of the area. He gave us a very good dive briefing and listed all the critters we would see "if we were lucky". Well we were super lucky and actually saw more than he expected. I think he was more excited than us. Yes, night diving is definitely better than TV Marcín! Thank you. We also dived with Victor and Debora. Both very good guides and very knowledgeable. Again, they were happy for us to lag and do our own thing at the end of the dives. Thank you. We opted to go unguided for the last three dives as a group of 4, having sussed out the area by then. We were treated to cuttlefish mating, octopus (including a little baby one), shrimp, crabs, various rays, lots and lots of various fish and best of all, a huge roughtail stingray. The dive centre is based on the shore, so easy access, and the best diving is right on their doorstep. The dive centre itself gets a bit manic when it's busy. There's not really enough room for more than 6 people trying to kit up at the same time. But I would definitely recommend them if you're planning to dive when in Lanzarote.

Amazing experience, guide...
Amazing experience, guide was very knowledgeable and understanding. Was only me booked on to the snorkelling session and was a good experience. Saw plenty of tropical fish and the guide knew the best spots to go. Would recommend and will be trying the scuba diving next time with this company when I am back in Lanzarote!
Response from the operator: Thank you for this 5 star review. We are very pleased that you enjoyed the snorkeling experience at our centre. Kind regards, Marian

Absolutely amazing. My 15yr old and 13yr old loved every minute. Definitely be back next year! Thank you so much
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for taking the time to give us this 5 star review. We are happy to hear that your children enjoyed the snorkeling tour and that you want to come back next year. Kind regards, Marian

Fabulous Afternoon Activity
Excellent service. Guides picked us up as we requested and started earlier. Took my older 2 girls 12 & 10 and they said it was the best experience of their holiday so far. Marian was our host and most attentive & informative. Marian explained the types of fish we would see beforehand on our info session and girls were able to recognise these themselves. Would not hesitate to recommend. Fabulous afternoon activity.
Response from the operator: Hello David, thank you very much for your kind words and for taking the time to do this 5 star review. It was a pleasure taking you and the girls on the snorkeling trip and I am very pleased that they had such a great experience. We really hope to see you back for more snorkeling or maybe even a try dive. Kind regards, Marian

Eye with what you hire
I got canceled at 9 a.m. for bad weather and the tour was at 3 p.m. and I haven't had my money back. A terrible experience, since they won't return my money, having cancelled the teleoperator
Response from the operator: Lo siento, pero ha habido un malentendido. Tuvimos que cancelar la excursión porque había bandera roja en la playa, lo que significa que no es seguro entrar en el agua. Le recomendamos que se ponga en contacto con Viator directamente porque usted pagó la excursión a ellos NO a nosotros. Incluso hemos enviado un correo electrónico a Viator para explicar la situación. El problema es con Viator, nosotros no podemos devolver dinero que nunca hemos recibido. Esperamos que el problema se solucione pronto y no dude en ponerse en contacto con nosotros via email en el caso contrario. Saludos, Marian

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2 Hours Guided Snorkeling Tour in Playa Chica: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lanzarote.
How much does 2 Hours Guided Snorkeling Tour in Playa Chica cost?
+
Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lanzarote usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2 Hours Guided Snorkeling Tour in Playa Chica take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lanzarote is not rushed.
Is 2 Hours Guided Snorkeling Tour in Playa Chica worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lanzarote, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Hours Guided Snorkeling Tour in Playa Chica?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2 Hours Guided Snorkeling Tour in Playa Chica suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 Hours Guided Snorkeling Tour in Playa Chica?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lanzarote can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lanzarote and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 Hours Guided Snorkeling Tour in Playa Chica start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lanzarote within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lanzarote?
+
On Outty we rank every Lanzarote experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guapatinis Show Bar Experience, Tour to Timanfaya, Jameos del Agua, Cueva de los Verdes and viewpoint from the cliff, MHT Lanzarote - Comedy Drag Dinner Show Experience - No1. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lanzarote?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lanzarote?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 2 Hours Guided Snorkeling Tour in Playa Chica?
+
Included: Use of snorkeling equipment. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 2 Hours Guided Snorkeling Tour in Playa Chica include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 47 listed pickup locations in and around Lanzarote. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time.
What languages is 2 Hours Guided Snorkeling Tour in Playa Chica offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English, Italian, Polish, French, Dutch and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 2 Hours Guided Snorkeling Tour in Playa Chica?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is 2 Hours Guided Snorkeling Tour in Playa Chica wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to 2 Hours Guided Snorkeling Tour in Playa Chica if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
