Snorkel freely at the house reef to see corals, fish and rays at no extra cost, or pay an additional USD 45 per person for a guided turtle snorkeling trip or a dolphin watching cruise. Whichever you choose, the local team will guide you and help with preparations. The guide also takes sunset photos for you.
