Salt spray hits the face before the island comes into view: the speedboat cuts across a cobalt sheet of sea, engines thrumming and sunlight chasing the wake. You step off onto soft white sand after a short, cinematic run; the lagoon ahead is a bowl of glass-green water, and the reef hums just beyond the shallows.

Mind the reef when snorkeling
Float calmly and avoid standing or touching coral; fins can damage fragile structures even on shallow reefs.
