The practical details.

Private rates per person

Solo Traveler: $104 | 2 Persons: $65 / person (Standard Rate) | 3 to 5 Persons: $53 / person | 6+ Persons: $46 / person. Children under 6 years are complimentary; children 6–11 receive a 50% discount. Rates cover private resort transfers and the guided reef snorkelling excursion; equipment hire, boat fees and meals are confirmed in your quotation.

Ability before site choice

Share each participant’s swimming confidence, age and snorkeling experience. Easy access in calm weather does not mean a site is appropriate in stronger wind or current.

Shore entry versus boat access

Ask which format is being quoted. Walking across a beach, using a jetty and boarding a boat involve different footwear, balance and mobility considerations.

Observe without disturbance

Keep a respectful distance from turtles and other marine life, never feed them and do not stand on coral. Animals may be absent even at places known for past sightings.

The written quotation takes precedence over this suggested programme. Check the final services, guiding arrangements and any optional costs before confirming.

Good to know.

What are the rates for different group sizes?

This tour is private. Rates start at $65 per person for 2 guests. Solo travelers pay $104 for dedicated transport and guiding, while parties of 3–5 pay $53 per person, and 6+ guests pay $46 per person.

Will we visit a particular famous bay?

Only if that site is named in the confirmed plan and remains suitable. The published route deliberately allows site choice to follow conditions and participant ability.

Can we see a dugong or turtle?

An encounter cannot be promised. Wildlife remains free-ranging, and a responsible excursion does not chase or crowd animals to meet expectations.

Are the guide and boat private?

Private road transport does not establish either. The quote states whether the activity, guide and vessel, if used, are shared or exclusive to your party.

Where will we be picked up?

Your hotel or an agreed meeting point. Your exact meeting details are agreed before travel.

How is my booking confirmed?

Send an enquiry first. We review availability and provide a written quotation with the itinerary, services, price and booking conditions. Sending the form does not reserve a service.

Keep exploring.
