Snorkeling - Kayaking - Fishing - Boating - Surfing - Walking

The resorts home reef runs the entire length of the resort providing excellent snorkelling in 2 to 30 feet of water. It is accessed straight off the beach with the closest drop off being just 15 metres from the beach into the blue hole. The coral and fish variety around the resort and in the Eratap area is superb.

For those wishing to explore further, their two boats are available, free of charge, to take you to any of the great snorkeling spots off the islands and reefs that surround the resort. For a small fee, you can fish offshore in one of their boats. The resort will supply the equipment and anything else required. This is a terrific way to experience catching a large fish without forking out thousands of dollars for the privilege. They do not go miles out to sea as there is no need. Most catches of wahoo, tuna and mahi mahi occur just offshore from the resort. Book the boat for an early morning or evening troll or just wander down to the jetty and be fishing within minutes!
