Boat Snorkeling at Nemo Reef

Boat Snorkeling at Nemo Reef, Havelock Island

Boat snorkeling at Nemo Reef offers a more immersive experience compared to shore snorkeling, letting you explore deeper sections of the reef where marine life thrives undisturbed. Departing from Havelock Island’s beach area, small motorboats take you about 500 meters offshore to the vibrant coral beds teeming with life.

Once you anchor, instructors provide a quick safety briefing and help you gear up with life jackets, masks, and snorkels. The reef here is stunning—expect to see clownfish darting in and out of anemones, bright coral formations, schools of angelfish, and sometimes even reef sharks or sea turtles if you’re lucky. The experience is calm yet thrilling, with the added charm of floating over clear blue waters surrounded by nature’s silence.
