      This was amazing. We saw hermit crabs, giant clams and heaps of tropical fish. A few turtles popped their heads up too. The snorkelling was so cool, the fish swim right near you. The rainbow parrotfish were beautiful 😍

      Had a great day on the island. Water a little murky on the glass boat but still saw some sealife. Kids absolutely LOVED the snorkeling, saw turtles & fish right up close. Staff were excellent, 5 stars.
    • Great snorkelling experience

      We went as a family and really enjoyed the whole experience. The glass bottom boat was great! The operator was knowledgeable and we saw plenty of fish. Snorkelling on the island itself was amazing, self guided though so be aware. Overall great experience and would recommend for families. We had no problem carrying our stroller on board the boats there and back.
