Are you exhausted of seeing ancient sites and museums, then you should give a chance to underwater exploring. The majority of people try scuba diving, when they want to get in contact with the underwater world, but you can start with snorkelling, because it is the type of activity even children can try. Snorkelling offers you the opportunity to explore the underwater ecosystem, but also to get close to underwater wildlife. If you want to try snorkelling then you should add the following destinations to your bucket list. There are two options, you either plan your entire trip around snorkelling or you plan a trip to a destination that also offers you the possibility to try this activity.

Turks and Caicos Islands

This is a paradise when it comes to underwater wildlife. People come here not only to try snorkeling in the Turks & Caicos Islands but also to deep fish.
