The experience
You arrive at the lagoon with a guide who knows the marine life and the currents. The snorkeling happens in the turquoise water where the coral gardens sit (colorful and dense), and the rays and sharks move through their own space. You're in the water with the mask and fins, not watching from a boat. The guide stays with you, pointing out what lives where and how to move through it without disturbing the reef.
Between the water sessions, you'll beach on a motu (a small island the lagoon holds), where lunch waits. Fresh seasonal fruit, sodas, bottled water. The motu is the postcard part: sand, palms, the water around it. You eat there, then head back into the water for the second half of the day. The whole thing runs between four and five hours from start to finish.
Pickup is included, and the guide speaks English or French. You'll get a towel, snorkelling equipment, and the water and fruit throughout. The activity suits anyone in reasonable health. Infants ride on an adult's lap. It's not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health, or pregnancy. Public transportation options are nearby if you prefer to meet the guide at the lagoon instead.
Is this one for you?This is a private activity for two people, so you're not sharing the guide or the motu with other groups. Book this if you want the lagoon to yourself and time to move at your own pace between the coral gardens and the island.
