Types of Snorkeling

🐠 Reef Snorkel

Coastal reef sites accessible from the beach or short boat ride. Best for first-timers and families.

🚤 Boat Snorkel

Operator-led trips to offshore reefs and protected sites. Gear and guide included; calmer offshore conditions.

🐢 Wildlife Snorkel

Targeted trips for sea turtles, rays, seals, or seasonal species. Better with a guide who knows the patterns.

Snorkeling Tips

🌅 Go in the morning

Calmer water and clearer visibility before afternoon wind picks up.

🧴 Reef-safe sunscreen

Skip oxybenzone-based sunblock — banned at most reef sites. Reapply every 90 minutes.

💧 Hydrate

Cold water disguises dehydration. Drink water before and between sessions.

👀 Stay surface-aware

Boats, swells, and changing currents — surface every couple of minutes to look around.
