Snorkeling

Reef 5
The Alor-Pantar strait is known for its bottomless coral reef walls, diverse marine life and clear water. While the drop offs go down to extreme depths, they also rise to the shallows and many areas are ideal for snorkelers. The islands of Alor, Pantar, Pura and Ternate are surrounded by shallow reefs that host a number of interesting marine encounters.

Snorkelers are welcome to join our boat trips for an additional cost. Due to the currents that can be at times mild to strong in the Alor-Pantar strait, we recommend having a guide to accompany you. Please refer to our rates page for more information on prices.
