Coral gardens at Snorkellers Cove, just off Iririki

A proper snorkel on a ship day

Meet us at our office on the Seafront, next to Nambawan Cafe. We'll sort you out with a mask and snorkel, run through a quick briefing, and get you on the boat. Keep an eye on the glass panel in the floor on the way out. The harbour looks different from underneath.

A few minutes later we tie up at Snorkellers Cove, just off Iririki Island, and you slip in straight off the boat. The water here is usually calm and clear, the coral is bright, and there are plenty of fish around. It's a great first snorkel if you've never done it before. Our crew stay on the boat the whole time with flotation ready, so you can relax and enjoy it.

The whole trip takes about 75 minutes and we keep groups small, eight people at most. On ship days we plan it so you're back at the office in plenty of time for last tender. Prices are the same as in our brochure, and if your ship doesn't come in, you get your money back.

You'll need to be able to climb a boat ladder. Little ones under five are welcome to come along for the ride, but they stay on the boat.
