  • Is it safe?
  • Yes. You’ll be provided with safety instruction from our experienced guides who’ve spent hundreds of hours getting to know our resident school of sharks. Our guides will be in the water with you the entire time and will closely monitor the sharks behaviour to ensure your safety.
  • What type of sharks will I see?
  • There are two main species of sharks encountered, White Tip Reef Sharks and Black Tip Reef Sharks, both are common in the tropical warm waters of the South Pacific. Each species can grow to a length of just over 1.5 metres although under the water they appear 25% larger, a snorkeling face mask optical illusion. White Tips are the dominant species and are by nature an inquisitive shark not frightened to check you out. Their Black Tip relatives are by contrast timid and will shy away if they feel threatened.
  • How many sharks will I see?
  • Numbers vary but it is common to see up to six sharks.
  • How deep is the water?
  • Both Black Tip and White Tip Reef Sharks prefer shallower waters making snorkeling easy with good visibility. It’s even possible to see the sharks from our boat before entering the water. Water depth varies between 4 - 6 metres depending on the tide.
  • What if I’m not a good swimmer, haven’t snorkeled before or don’t want to snorkel but my travelling companion does?
  • Buoyancy aids are available for less confident swimmers and because these sharks prefer shallow waters there’s no necessity to dive under the water to secure a thrilling view. Non-snorkelers can join the day but sit out the snorkeling experience.
  • Our Shark Guarantee
  • As Sharks are wild animals we cannot guarantee sightings however we have a 95% +success rate of sighting sharks. In the event that you don’t see any sharks we are happy for you to return for a complimentary “Ultimate Encounter - Snorkel with Sharks” within 3 days of your original cruise.

Save your money. We saw no sharks snorkeling. There was no guide or apology for not seeing the sharks. No one cared. The whole tour was very disorganized. We never knew what was going on. Had to consistently ask for help and what is next. Only good part was the food. We went to the beach and got to see a baby shark on our own.

Loved everything about this day trip. The 20 min boat ride from Kuata Island to the snorkelling with sharks location was a bit choppy but fun! The 40 minute snorkel with the sharks was unreal. We felt completely safe. Once back on Kuata Island, we had a delicious lunch, played volleyball and snorkelled off the beach. There were so many beautiful species of fish to see. Highly recommend.

This was an amazing excursion. The boat shuttle to the island was incredible and it was great to see some of the other island offerings. We swam with at least a dozen white tip sharks and the amount and variety of other fish were too numerous to count. The staff was amazing the food provided was good and the facilities great. With all that said I feel the need to point out a couple of things so that others and the outfit may take note. I did not feel that there was enough,if any review with the tourists on reef safety. Example, reef safe sunscreen use and how to respect the sea life. I witnessed and spoke to someone who was touching the sharks and literally chasing fish. Yes I will swim with fish to get the perfect shot but this was obviously chasing. Then I saw something I hope I never see again, graffiti on coral! It was heart breaking. I also think people need to be aware that you take a smaller boat to the site. The day we went it was pretty bumpy and I’m not sure everyone enjoyed that ride. Again the staff was great the water, sharks and food was incredible. I would do it again but I hope the operators take note of the education opportunities for the people engaged in the outing.
