Underwater hiking
Imagine observing marine life at your own pace, there is no rush. That’s what we do when out hiking, right? While snorkelling, you move at a relaxed pace and thoroughly enjoy the natural underwater habitat.

Don’t touch the wildlife
Snorkelling comes with some rules. One of the most important ones is: avoid touching marine life. Many fish and coral species are delicate, and may get destroyed by the human touch.

You can hear underwater
Don’t be surprised by the noises you will get to hear while being underwater. You can actually hear the sound of the waves above or if lucky, the clicks of the dolphins if they are nearby.

Always use reef-safe sunscreen

You don’t have to go deep
You really do not have to go deep. You can hang out right beneath the surface. The shallow coral reefs will have plenty of things to see.
