Plan this experience

Approximately 3 hours; best conditions depend on the tide. By arrangement; confirm current availability, suitability, guiding, access and written inclusions.

All activities are by arrangement. Availability, permits, park rules, guiding, equipment, access, timings, minimum ages, meals and inclusions must be confirmed for the actual dates and group. Sea conditions, tides, weather and seasonal wildlife can change the plan. Wildlife sightings and natural events are never guaranteed.

Travel with respect

Let local hosts lead community visits, seek consent for photographs and follow guide and site instructions. Observe wildlife without feeding, touching, chasing or disturbing it, and leave coral, plants and heritage objects undisturbed.
