Generally, snorkelling in the lagoon around the island is safe. The resort's lagoon is a marine reserve that offers the ideal place to swim or snorkel amidst the myriad of beautiful tropical fish. We advise all our guests not to venture out past the encircling coral reef alone. It is highly recommended that guests wear reef shoes while swimming or snorkelling. Guests are also advised not to touch coral or other sea creatures.
