Kimberley Coral Gardens: Private Snorkel Safari

Slip into crystal-clear 28°C water above the Lacepede Islands' fringing reef, home to manta rays, reef sharks, and kaleidoscopic coral. This private-charter snorkel safari delivers the Kimberley's underwater world at your own unhurried pace.

What to expect

Your charter vessel anchors in the shelter of the island chain, where visibility regularly exceeds 15 metres and the coral is entirely undisturbed. Resident blacktip reef sharks cruise the sandy channels while sea turtles feed on sea-grass meadows just metres away. The guide narrates the ecology throughout — identifying nudibranchs, giant tridacna clams, and schooling trevally. A chilled towel and light refreshments await back on deck after each dive.
