Tour Description

​​​​​Xylofagou is around 15km west of Ayia Napa and the coastline here is rugged, wild and with hardly any human intervention. It's an unspoilt and undeveloped coast offering crystal clear waters, numerous caves and unique coastal scenery.

The seas here tend to get a little rough after 10-11am so we can start our trip early in the morning to get the best of the calm seas before it becomes less enjoyable. If you wish to start later then please note that once the seas get rougher it is not as pleasant to snorkel but we can enjoy more of the scenery above the water line in the area.

Please note the actual snorkeling time is around 2-3 hours. We recommend this trip for more experienced snorkelers.

If you see the Book Now button below you can book this tour online. Otherwise please contact us to enquire. ​

Know Before You Go - Important Information

Snorkeling is a casual non-extreme activity. We take appropriate safety measures (eg using a buoy). Participants should always be alert and cautious when doing outdoor activities, especially in the sea.
We follow weather forecasts and meteorology very closely. If we see that the sea on a particular coast is not calm enough, then we will snorkel on a different coastline. If we see that the sea is rough everywhere, then we will cancel the trip and either reschedule for an alternative date or issue a refund is not suitable alternative can be found.
These trips are about exploration while respecting nature. We strive not to disturb the animals we see, we do not feed them and we avoid getting too close in a way that they may feel threatened, or may be harmed in any way.
As we move away from summer and temperature outside and in the water fall, participants may feel more comfortable wearing a wetsuit (or similar, even a UV protective long sleeved top), especially if we are spending a long time in the water. A 3mm suit should be more than enough for even the coolest days.
