    Join us in the water and see this beautiful part of the world with your own eyes!

    Your tour begins with an informative presentation followed by a demonstration that covers the basics of snorkelling including equipment usage, terminology and in-water communication. For those looking for a little more, some free diving skills to assist you in duck diving down to get up close to the native marine life you can expect to encounter. It’s then a short walk to the beach where you’ll encounter an array of mesmerising marine life including the Weedy Sea Dragons, Puffer Fish, Smooth Rays, Sponge Life and more!

    Snorkelling is the perfect family holiday activity – even for non-swimmers!

    Your expert guide will be with you the entire time, you will be wearing a very buoyant wetsuit and you will have access to a life ring for the duration of your tour for maximum safety and comfort. The option for a pool noodle or PFD is available on request.
