Dreams come true

I've always wanted to snorkel the reef and finally got to. It was beautiful and saw so many fish and different corals, saw a stingray, a giant clam and back on boat saw Mienke whale. Staff was awesome!!!

Well worth the Trip

It took about 1.5hrs to reach the first snorkeling point. The smallest of 3 reefs we snorkled on. Saw lots of fish species and a baby ray. We went out on a day with a swell but visibility still great. Boat parks up right next to the reef and if you can't swim or float you get a noodle. In-between the 3 reefs morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea were served. Water was warm, I swam in a bikini with no issues. Loved it well worth the trip
