🏝️ Snorkeling Spots & Locations
? Manta Bay
A sheltered, shallow bay where manta rays regularly pass through to feed on plankton. The calm conditions make it ideal for beginners and families. Sightings aren't guaranteed but happen often on morning departures. Best visibility April–November.
? Gamat Bay
A peaceful, secluded bay with vibrant coral gardens, seagrass beds and calm, clear water. Home to seahorses, moray eels and a colourful mix of reef fish. A favourite stop for anyone who enjoys exploring healthy reefs slowly and quietly.
? Wall Point
A coral wall snorkel site where you drift along a drop-off, seeing a wide variety of fish and coral along the wall. Clear water most days, though currents can pick up — your guide chooses the best drift direction based on daily conditions.
? Turtle Point
A calm reef where green and hawksbill turtles graze on seagrass and coral. Excellent for underwater photography and a great highlight for anyone hoping to tick "sea turtle" off their bucket list. Life jackets recommended for non-swimmers.
