Awesome video! We are going to Santa Maria soon. Did you go snorkeling with a tour or on your own?

Christina Mirkovszky we snorkelled about 4 hours a day for 7 days on our own in the 3 bays (and outside the bays towards the small islands but stayed on the inside of the islands) Miguel is a lifeguard at Melia Buenavista.....he took us out one day - there is no charge but we gave him a large tip:) He was simply awesome and gave us so many more tips for the best places there. It’s a small resort with 3 large bays and was amazing to snorkel at. We did not leave the resort since it was so good.

hi! nice video. My question is could I go snorkeling if I am from another resort? I would be to shy to go in the middle beach of coarse but is it ok on the side beaches, or is it not allowed and I will be told so. thanks :)

I would email/contact melia and ask - it’s along walk down the beach but I saw people doing it…..we were staying there at the time ….hope that helps - it’s truly a good snorkel spot
