Dive into the Ocean Wonders
Our favoured snorkelling spot is a 5 minute taxi drive away, in Pingwe. Your driver will drop you off at the Pweza beach. After a short 100-metre walk down the beach, snorkellers will spot the waiting snorkelling boat. The boat ride to the snorkelling spot takes about 20 minutes . Once there, the boat will anchor.
Before departure, guests may order drinks at their own expense from the bar. Complimentary fruit will be served on the boat.
For inexperienced snorkellers, we offer introductory lessons in the pool. Just contact us at reception and we will arrange it for you.
When to Take the Dive
The best snorkelling happens during low tide, as there is no current and you will get a closer and better look at the fish and coral. Your guide will take you through the coral and point out the multitude of different fish. Some species include the moorish idol, zebra fish, puffer fish, lion fish, parrot fish, pipe fish, barracuda, damsel, clown fish and many more! For those who are a little apprehensive, don’t worry – the reef is protected from ocean waves, meaning that you can savour the underwater landscape in peace.
