The experience
Premium snorkeling gear and a comprehensive safety briefing from your PADI Certified Instructor set up the experience before you enter the water. If you're a beginner or non-swimmer, optional pool training is available to build confidence. The 1:2 guide-to-guest ratio for non-swimmers means personalized attention throughout. Your guide stays close as you explore Mirissa's coral reefs and swim alongside sea turtles in their natural habitat.
A complimentary GoPro captures your best underwater moments so you leave with video footage of what you saw. After the snorkel, you return to the center to change in clean facilities and enjoy light refreshments. Round-trip transfers from hotels within Mirissa's 2km radius are included, so you don't need to arrange transport.
The activity runs about 90 minutes total. Guides speak English, Spanish, Italian, German and one additional language, and the experience suits all fitness levels, though it's not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health.
