The house reef of Vakarufalhi surrounds the island and is right in front of your
door step. It invites you to go snorkeling any time of the day.
Beginners can practice their techniques in the shallow waters of the lagoon were
you can already find small coral formations with little damselfish, butterflyfish,
pufferfish and many more.
The jetties which are on opposite sides of the island reach the reef and are entry
and exit points for the snorklers.
While snorkeling you can encounter anything from turtles, stingrays, moray eels,
stonefish, scorpionfish, tunas, barracudas, octopus, squid, clownfish, whitetip
reef sharks, nurse sharks, lobster, oriental sweetlips, bannerfish, angelfish, snappers
and sometimes when you get very lucky you might even see dolphins and also whaleshark
encounters have been reported!!
Every Friday night we take you out for an exciting nightsnorkeling tour on the house
reef.
The hotel organizes ½ day and fullday snorkeling excursions to the best sites
in the area.
