What to expect

You'll start with a safety briefing covering kayak basics and snorkel technique—no prior experience needed. Once on the water, your guide leads you through shallow passages where you're just above the surface, giving an intimate view of the sea. The paddling pace is relaxed rather than athletic. After an hour or so, you'll beach on sand, eat lunch, and have downtime listening to waves. Then you gear up for snorkelling in shallow reefs where visibility is excellent and fish are abundant. The guide stays nearby throughout. Return paddling is easier with the current if timing favours it. By day's end you're tired but not exhausted.
