Reef Explorer – Stingrays, Snorkelling & Massage

4.5/5
23 reviews

This one is all about the three As: activities, adrenaline and adventure. You'll have plenty of activities to enjoy from snorkelling with stingrays and sharks to being on the receiving end of a shell massage. What's more, it's all done from a floating platform on the sea. A moment of thrills and spills, guaranteed to get the holiday vibes flowing.

The adventure kicks off the moment you sail out to a private floating platform. Equipped with spacious sun loungers and Bali beds, it's the perfect place to catch a few rays or drop by the masseurs for a hand, stone or shell massage.

There's plenty for the thrill-seekers too. Dive into the protected marine reserve and snorkel among stingrays and nurse sharks, or hop on a kayak or paddleboard to glide over the gentle reef waves. Grab a power snorkel to zoom along the seabed like James Bond, then take a break at the rooftop health bar serving up juices, vegetables and dips.

    Very well organised from pick up to drop off. The listing didn't say sea life was captive so was disappointed when I arrived initially, however a good experience.

    The sea was very seaweedy which I know can’t be helped but did deter from half of the activities. We also found that the area where the shark and sting ray were were very small meaning it felt very trapped in!

    It was by no means a reef explorer , the nurse shark was confined in a small enclosure and the sting ray in another, you could paddle board around the island and that was about it, the island was a small pontoon, it was 100 quid for this experience all of which you got some fruit sandwich and some coffee, it lasted 4 hours,

    The whole experience was well organised and there was staff in the water at all times ensuring everyone was safe and pointing out areas of interest whilst snorkeling. The massage was a lovely relaxing treat and there were ample soft drinks and snacks. On reflection, I am not sure if posing holding a stingray was the kindest thing to do as there must have been about 50 people on the experience and I much preferred snorkeling above them watching them swim about in their natural environment.
