Great experience!! A must do, especially for beginners! - A friend and I joined through ActivateUTS, and it was so fun!! We had Damien who was such a great guide!
The walk and swim was awesome, saw the fishes and saw a Port Jackson shark as well!
It’s a great opportunity for people who have never snorkelled before!
Such a great beach as well!

Definitely worth it - Even though it was still spring, very beautiful fish species seen underwater and above water even in the distance whales that came up. Our Guide Sam saw them right away and took plenty of time so we could spot them too. During the nature walk beautiful and interesting nature seen, partly thanks to the Guide, who told very nice about it

Relaxing with snorkeling in Sydney Australia - Very appropriate short walk along the coastline outlining the changes challenges and evolving solutions presented to this area. The weather was fabulous and the snorkeling very enjoyable with great visibility and a great selection of fish were clearly visible. Tour guide was very personable and helpful. The equipment provided was excellent. I definitely recommend this snorkeling excursion to you.

What an experience - We had a lovely time our guide took her time with our group, and we saw loads of fish it was my 8 and 10yr olds first time snorkelling and they loved it. I myself was worried about the cold water, but the wetsuits made this no problem. Only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars, we waiting on photos, we were told though that it could take a few days. Definitely worth going, we spent the rest of the day relaxing on the beach, it was the perfect day.
