The whole trip was managed by enthusiastic, helpful, engaging and highly proficient staff from Leagues Ahead. I was firmly convinced that they would do all within their power to provide an excellent experience from necessary admin by Sophie, equipment and snorkelling experience with Paulo and Kyle. When I return to Gran Canaria I will book another experience with them.

Amazing!

Katherine_M, Apr 2024

We had a fantastic time!! We were picked up promptly and welcomed by the team. Immediately felt comfortable. After fitting wetsuits we wasted no time and travelled to a beautiful snorkelling spot. It was an incredible experience which we will definitely do again or even try scuba diving. 11/10 would recommend this! 🐠

great fun in the sun snorkeling

Oscar_D, Jul 2023

Snorkeling in the warm, shimmering waters under the radiant sun is truly an invigorating experience. As you glide through the azure depths, the cool, salty water caressing your skin, it's like entering another world. A world teeming with vibrant corals of all shapes, sizes, and colors. A world bustling with life, where schools of colorful fish dart in and out of the underwater vegetation. The sun above reflects off the water surface, casting a magical, dappled light show that dances over the seafloor beneath you. It's an ever-changing landscape that never fails to amaze. Every time you dive, there's something new to marvel at - a rare species of fish, a strikingly patterned sea slug, a hidden cave that's just begging to be explored. There's something uniquely therapeutic about being submerged in this underwater paradise, with nothing but the gentle rhythm of your own breathing and the distant sound of the ocean in your ears. The world above, with all its troubles and worries, seems a million miles away. And when you finally resurface, with the warm sun on your face and the taste of salt on your lips, you can't help but feel a sense of profound peace and satisfaction. It's the kind of simple, pure joy that only snorkeling under the sun can bring.

First time but definitely not the last time snorkeling

Amy_R, Apr 2023

First time trying snorkeling and it was a wonderful experience, great to take a cooling dip in the ocean especially during an unexpected heat wave. Kyle our guide was great made us both feel very safe and well cared for and helping point out interesting wildlife🐙🐡🐠🐟🪸🤿 Next time definitely want to try the scuba 💖💖

Amazing snorkeling experience

Lysanne_S, Aug 2022

Excellent experience and very friendly and professional people! We got picked up right in front of our hotel and went to a nice bay where we got a patient instruction on how to snorkel and also a quick overview of the species we might see. All the equipment was included and brought by the instructors. We felt safe and well-guided. Awesome experience!

We had very nice...

Katarina_J, Jul 2022

We had very nice Experience, lots of fun and we seen many Fishes. The guys were looking after us and making sure that everything ist going smooth. I would highly recommend to book this tour.

Fantastic experience

LeighAnne_M, Jul 2022

Great instructors, friendly, great experience and all round fantastic experience would definitely recommend

I can't stop talking about how amazing this was!! Thank you so much!!

Shannon_T, Jun 2022

I had the best time, I honestly haven't stopped talking about it with friends and family since being back home. Thank you so much to the lovely Sophie for making me feel so at ease in the 12M deep water! I am not a very confident swimmer and without that wetsuit and flippers I'd have definitely drowned, so I was slightly nervous. Sophie made me feel so at ease, checking in constantly and even letting me hold her float for peace of mind. I would definitely go again and really faced a big fear on this trip. Not to even mention the insane sights of the fish, crabs and just the wonderful atmosphere. The whole team were lovely and you should definitely add this excursion to your holiday!! 🙌🏻

Amazing activity with amazing people

Rima_B, Apr 2022

We booked this activity from viator and that was super fun and scary for both of us! Did not know swimming We both got panicked but the instructors took care of everything! Fatima was so kind she didn’t leave my hands for a sec and made sure I can see everything underneath the water !! Carl another instructor was with my husband and did the same! We are so grateful as we booked the activity in a group but it turned out 1-1 which was very comfortable for us as this was our first time! Owner James and Sophie are amazing! Their communication was great! Because of some marathon when all the other tour companies cancel the activity they arranged some other area completely different side of the city including hotel pick up and drop off no extra charge! Out stay was short in Gran Canaria but because of them it was worthy!! Thank you guys

Incredible experience with Amazing guides!

Jacqueline_P, Apr 2022

Such a fantastic and wonderful experience. Paolo picked us up right on time and took us directly to the shop, where we met Sophie and Fatima. Both were wonderful hosts and extra especial to our young children. Soon after, we departed to the location, where Fatima and James stayed with us and pointed out the various sea animals we were hoping to see. Fatima was such a wonderful and patient person with our girls that it made this an even more memorable experience. The girls talked about this all day and said it was their favorite excursion during our holiday. We definitely recommend.

Super friendly and well organised snorkelling experience!

David_L, Feb 2022

James, Viva and Sophie were super - my teenage daughter and I really enjoyed our snorkelling experience with them, every aspect was organised so well. We would highly recommend to anyone for a hassle free and fun way to spend a half day while holidaying in Gran Canaria!

Great experience!

Sanne_v, Jan 2022

The whole crew is very friendly and helpful, very easy get in contact with them as well! Snorkeling itself was great, we got to see a lot of fish. The guides are very involved and helpful. Would definitely recommend!

Snorkeling was a treat

Pamela_M, Mar 2020

The snorkeling was great for a mixed group - some of us hadn’t snorkeled before. Beautiful fish, starfish and crabs. Sophie was very knowledgeable.

Great snorkeling
