Before you book

How is the house reef, and can anyone snorkel it?

House Reef Snorkelling runs daily from 11:00 to 12:15, reserved for experienced snorkellers or guests who pass the resort's own snorkel test. The dive centre supplies complimentary mask, fins, snorkel and life vest for the session.
