What to expect
You'll board a roomy, open-sided vessel and cruise the lagoon's different color zones while your guide points out wildlife. Snorkeling happens at established reef sites—expect calm, warm water and decent visibility for spotting rays and fish schools. You may need to wade into the shallows for certain spots. Midway through, the boat anchors in shallow water where a barbecue lunch is served; you'll eat standing or sitting in the lagoon. The guide handles all logistics and safety briefings. Bring reef-safe sunscreen and wear water shoes for the sandy bottom.
