Coral and fish at the Iririki reef sanctuary

Snorkel Iririki Island, five minutes from the Seafront

You check in at our office on the Seafront, and the boat takes you to Snorkellers Cove in about 5 minutes. Then you slip into calm, protected water and snorkel straight off the boat. You get about 90 minutes in all, with most of it in the water.

Iririki is a marine sanctuary, home to coral bommies and reef fish. We don't use fins here, which helps protect the reef. If you've never snorkelled, our crew give a safety briefing first, and noodles are on board to help you float and relax. If you want a proper snorkel without a long boat run, this is the one.

What You'll Do

  • Ride from the Seafront to Snorkellers Cove in about 5 minutes
  • Snorkel straight off the boat over coral bommies close to town
  • Float in calm, protected water, with noodles if you want them
  • Look for tropical fish, coral and anemones. What you see changes with the day
  • Have our guide supervising from the boat, from check-in to return

What it costs

$81 AUD for adults and $56 AUD for ages 6 to 12, for about 90 minutes with the boat transfer included. A family of four (two adults and two children aged 6 to 12) pays $274 AUD. Children aged 5 and under are free.
