Night Snorkelling

Explore life underwater from a different perspective!

Our experienced guides will lead you on a community night snorkel at your local beach. You will have the opportunity to spot all kinds of marine life up close — participants have seen parore, triplefins, spotties, tamure, sweep, octopus, nudibranchs, sea cucumbers, sea hares, and more!

What to expect

Often there will be 2 rotations on the day, either during golden hour and sunset for a twilight snorkel, and an opportunity to dive into the dark with a post-sunset snorkel.

Expect to spend up to 1.5 hours in the water.
