What you can expect

You will have your own private sea excursion with the best chances of an up-close encounter with our resident bottlenose and humpback dolphins. Our snorkelling guides with over 8 years of experience will lead you to the best spots where our green turtles like to feed, and will show you remoter areas of the park where you will enjoy our marine life without disturbance from other snorkellers.

Expect to be amazed by our huge healthy reef supporting a large variety of colourful reef fish species. Explore the park's various islands and snorkelling spots at your own pace and according to your discretion. A guided visit to Wasini Island or Shimoni is a complimentary option. Lunch in one of the island's famous sea-side restaurants can be arranged.
