Snorkeling Catalina's Island
The best snorkeling near Playa Flamingo is undoubtedly offshore at the Catalinas Islands. For this extreme snorkeling tour, we will head offshore to the iconic islands that dot the horizon of Playa Flamingo and Potrero. Here there are stunning underwater rock formations of volcanic rock which are home to a variety of marine life. These stunning underwater rock formations provide an incredible landscape to explore. The tranquility of being underwater here is truly spectacular.
Although we cannot gaurantee you will see specific marine life, you will absolutely enjoy the sight of many tropical fish. On many occassions we have also seen whitetip sharks, different types of rays, moray eels, nudibranchs, angel fish and butterfly fish. The underwater scenery here is spectacular and you are in for a treat if you decide to embark on a snorkeling tour to the Catalinas Islands. We recommend an early tour as that is when wildlife is the most active and the lighting is best.
