Guides / Paradise Cove (Wotarua) Reef Guide
Why Paradise Cove for snorkeling Port Vila
Harbour snorkels near town are convenient. Paradise Cove is the step up: clearer intent to spend time on a reef site with a guide, not just a quick dip. Expect about 2–2.5 hours door to door from our Seafront base. From $112 AUD.
What we care about on the reef
We grow coral in a harbour nursery and plant at sites including the Cove area as part of our coral restoration work. Guests get a short, practical briefing — look, don’t stand on living coral, and never feed fish over nursery or reef structure. The trip should feel calm and respectful, not like a theme-park swim.
Who it is for
- Couples and families comfortable in the water
- Resort guests with a free morning or afternoon
- Return visitors who already did a short Iririki snorkel on a cruise stop

Combine with kayak days
Active travellers sometimes book the harbour kayak one day and Paradise Cove snorkel another. Strong paddlers can take the full-day kayak toward Paradise Cove for a bigger physical day.
