What to expect
You'll wade into calm, protected waters where your guide leads you along a route chosen for current fish activity. Expect to spend most of the 90 minutes in the water with your face down, spotting colourful species moving through kelp and rocky outcrops. Your guide swims alongside, pointing things out and adjusting pace to suit the group. Photography happens throughout—they'll capture you with the marine life. The water temperature and visibility vary seasonally, but Clovelly is consistently productive. There's no lengthy boat ride; this is a shore-based snorkel in a manageable, shallow zone.
