Snorkellers watching a sea turtle above a coral reef.

Turtle Point Snorkelling

Breakfast first, then the boat. This is the reef the boats go to for turtles, and the trip we often suggest to families. You float above the coral, a guide in the water with you, and watch for something moving underneath.

Snorkellers watching a sea turtle above a coral reef.

Ninety minutes, and lunch still ahead

If a turtle comes past, give it room. Stay off the coral. Touch nothing, turtle or reef.

Turtle sightings depend on the season and conditions. A trip that runs is charged even if no turtle appears.

You are back around 10:30, which leaves lunch and the whole afternoon on Ukulhas.

If a child does not want to get in

They do not have to. They can watch from the deck, put their face in from the surface with a mask on, or swim beside the guide in a life jacket. The price does not move.

Whether the trip suits your family at all depends on the children's ages, how everyone swims and the sea that morning. We discuss these with you before recommending the trip.

Where it fits

Turtle Point Snorkelling is part of the Ocean Trilogy and the Marine Lover Pass, and one of the nine trips in the 3-Day Adventure Pass. For two reef sites instead of one, take the Snorkelling Safari; for dry land, the Half Day Desert Island.
