What to expect
You'll board at the designated area and head out on a nimble speedboat with an experienced skipper. Expect wind and spray as the boat covers ground efficiently; the ride is exhilarating rather than leisurely. You'll pass geological features and hidden inlets while your guide points out the area's natural and cultural markers. At the snorkelling stop, the boat holds position in shallow, clear water where you can swim and explore the seabed independently. The pace is brisk, so bring sun protection and secure any loose items.
Good to know
Not suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. All fitness levels can manage the experience, though the boat's motion affects some people. Bring a waterproof bag for valuables and wear reef-safe sunscreen. Snorkelling gear is not mentioned as provided—confirm availability in advance.
