Planning your first snorkeling tour in Fort Lauderdale? Here’s everything you need to know before diving in — from what to bring and wear to what you’ll see underwater.
🐠 Why Snorkeling in Fort Lauderdale is a Must
With crystal-clear waters, vibrant reefs, and year-round sunshine, Fort Lauderdale is one of Florida’s top destinations for snorkeling. Whether you’re traveling solo, with your partner, or bringing the whole family, our Seabob-powered snorkel tours give you a thrilling way to explore the ocean without needing any experience.
But before you hop on a Seabob and head for the reef, let’s cover what you should bring and expect.
🎒 What to Bring on Your Snorkeling Tour
Pack light, but don’t forget these essentials for your comfort and safety:
Swimsuit or Rash Guard: Quick-drying and snug-fitting clothing is best.
Reef-Safe Sunscreen: Protect your skin and the coral reef. Apply it at least 20 minutes before getting in the water.
Towel: You’ll want one post-snorkel for drying off.
Water Bottle: Stay hydrated before and after your tour.
Waterproof Phone Case (Optional): Great for beach photos or if you want to carry your phone.
Tip: Leave valuables at home or in your car — just bring the basics.
