What to expect
You'll launch from the beach with a briefing on paddle technique and safety protocols, then set out across the bay in small groups. Expect 45 minutes of steady paddling interspersed with pauses to scan the water for marine life—sightings aren't guaranteed but are common in these waters. The guide will steer you to designated snorkelling zones where you'll drop anchor, slip into the water and observe fish behaviour for roughly 30 minutes total across two or three stops. The pace is measured; you won't be racing.
