About
We will begin with a safety briefing by the beach and a training on the shallow part of the beach. Once the child gains confidence, we can explore the area to see juvenile fish in the shallow area of the bay. Depending on the children’s level of confidence and skills, it is decided whether to head to the deeper areas of the bay and explore other wild marine animals around, such as adult fish and the magnificent green sea turtles.
Families with children from 8 to 14 years old. It is required that there is at least one guardian per every 4 kids in the experience.
