Snorkeling | Swimming with Sharks & Turtles

Glide through our underwater environment

Slip on a snorkelling mask and a pair of fins and head to the 15-metre drop-off zone at the edge of our house reef. There, discover vibrant coral walls inhabited by small sharks and colourful schools of fish, turtles, and rays. Our resident marine biologist can help you identify the array of aquatic life on guided trips, departing day and night, and explain the significance of our coral line projects and other underwater initiatives.

Embark on a self-guided adventure or our house reef, team up with a marine biologist to deepen your understanding of the natural world, or travel to the world-class snorkelling destinations within striking distance of our hotel.
