Reef Explorer Half Day Trip
Overview
This one is all about the three As: activities, adrenaline and adventure. It all kicks off the moment you sail out to a private floating platform. Equipped with spacious sun loungers and Bali beds, it’s the perfect place to catch a few rays or drop by the masseurs for a hand, stone or shell massage. There’s plenty for the thrill-seekers too. Dive into the protected marine reserve and snorkel among stingrays and nurse sharks, or hop on a kayak or paddleboard to glide over the gentle reef waves. Grab a power snorkel to zoom along the seabed like James Bond, then take a break at the rooftop health bar serving up juices, vegetables and dips.
Sting rays & nurse sharks, stingray encounter, snorkel/guided snorkel, paddle board, kayak, floating mattress, massage (4 types to chose from), Seaview Boards, Water Bikes and Glass Bottom Kayaks.
