Pristine Coral Reef Snorkel: Private Zodiac to Outer Bommies

Board a private Zodiac to reach Vanikoro's outermost coral bommies — unspoiled, barely visited reef gardens of surreal colour and biodiversity. This is South Pacific snorkelling at its most raw and exclusive: no crowds, no noise, just you and the reef.

What to expect

A marine naturalist guide escorts your private group of up to six by Zodiac to outer reef formations chosen for peak visibility and current conditions. Giant clams, reef sharks, Napoleon wrasse, and cascading sea fans greet you the moment you enter the water. Your guide free-dives alongside to point out nudibranchs and macro life most snorkellers would float right past. A chilled refreshment and fruit break aboard the Zodiac mid-excursion completes the experience.
