Snorkelling from a boat
Going by boat takes you to coves and reefs you can't reach from land, with clearer water and more marine life. Many trips include mask, snorkel and fins, and a guide who explains what you can see.
Snorkelling needs no qualification or experience: being able to swim is enough. It is ideal for families with children.
Snorkelling tips
Use reef-safe sun cream or a rash vest, don't touch or stand on seagrass or wildlife, and stay close to the group and the boat.
