Snorkeling
If the idea of seeing blue parrotfish, four-eyed butterflyfish, sergeant majors, wrasses and many other species of fish gliding around the beautiful corals and sea fans appeals to you then a snorkel trip may be just what you are looking for. With some of the healthiest corals in the world, you will see a flourishing ecosystem below the waves.
On the more rare occasions, those who are fortunate may also spot moray eels, octopi, puddingwives and urchins thriving within the reefs. Have a look at Bermuda’s Fish to find out more about the different species of fish seen in Bermuda’s turquoise waters.

“Four people from our family had booked the diving/snorkeling tour, and my husband and I were leery to sign on because it sounded like primarily a dive tour. There were about 12 divers and 6 snorkelers, and we had our own guide. We went to two different sites, one deeper than the the other. We saw tons of different kinds of beautiful colorful fish! Our guide was very attentive to all our questions. We had almost an hour at EACH site. I can honestly say this is the best snorkeling tour we’ve been on!”
