Description

Entry begins above the bay with a mandatory orientation video and guide briefing on reef safety and wildlife etiquette, establishing an active conservation protocol before anyone heads to the sand. The upper preserve grounds include educational exhibits and a tram shuttling visitors up and down the steep hill. At the shoreline, clear visibility opens onto coral beds where sea turtles and hundreds of fish species swim, supported by on-site rentals for snorkel gear, chairs, and umbrellas.
