The reef here is teeming with small, colorful fishes like lionfish, angelfish, and butterflyfish, according to reviews, which makes for fantastic photo opportunities. The reef also hosts larger marine life such as sea turtles, reef sharks, and squids, giving a good chance for memorable encounters.

Guests have noted that guides and staff are professional, attentive, and helpful, especially with those new to snorkeling or children.

The meal typically includes fried rice and fried noodles, with vegetarian requests happily accommodated—an important detail for those with dietary preferences. Reviewers often mention the delicious food, which complements the day’s activities perfectly, leaving you satisfied and ready for the journey back.
