Yes, first-time snorkellers can enjoy this experience if they are confident swimmers and comfortable in open water. You should be able to swim about 50 metres and stay afloat without assistance. The crew helps with equipment, snorkelling technique and in-water guidance, while flotation devices provide extra support.

Yes, it can be a memorable family reef adventure for children aged six and over who are confident swimmers. The small-group format and in-water guidance give families plenty of support, and children must remain under parent or guardian supervision throughout the experience.

The afternoon focuses on one carefully selected Outer Reef snorkelling site, giving you more than two hours to explore instead of spending the day travelling between locations. The crew chooses from 15 exclusive moorings according to wind, tides and surface conditions, helping you enjoy the best available snorkelling on the day.

The fast vessel keeps travel time short and leaves more of the afternoon for snorkelling. Open-sea conditions can sometimes make the ride lively, so guests who are prone to motion sickness may find it helpful to take their usual motion-sickness medication before departure, following the product directions. A warm, dry layer is also useful for the return journey.

Yes. A complimentary reef presentation takes place on the D Finger pontoon from approximately 10.30am to 11.00am. Arriving early gives you the opportunity to learn about the reef and the marine life you may encounter before the midday departure.

The vessel has two toilets, freshwater deck showers and some under-seat storage for small belongings. Space is limited, so it is best to bring only the essentials you need for the afternoon.

Most dietary needs and allergies can be accommodated for the included afternoon tea with at least 24 hours’ notice. Guests with very strict dietary requirements may prefer to bring a suitable snack. After booking, please contact us with any dietary requirements.
