There are many activities available for people of all ages and excellent underwater dive options that are perfect for non-swimmers!

The diversity of the Marine life out here is amazing. We saw a huge number of beautiful small and very large tropical fish including a huge Maori Wrasse "Wally" who kept coming right up to us to say hello. It is the closest I have come to swimming in an aquarium. The Coral Gardens are very pretty and extensive.

As a dive site there were fabulous swim throughs and caves and a fantastic range of sea life.
