This shallow drift snorkel (1-2 m depth) sweeps you partway around the island past coral gardens teeming with butterflyfish, angelfish, parrotfish, and clams. The gentle current does the work — no fins needed. Watch for baby reef sharks cruising in knee-deep water, curious turtles, and the occasional bluefin trevally hunting eels. The protected lagoon side offers crystal-clear calm water, while the outer side delivers a mild current and a parade of tropical life.
