Snorkelling on Lizard Island
Snorkel Lessons
Complimentary snorkel lessons are conducted every second afternoon followed by a guided snorkel offering a complimentary reef interpretive tour on the reef directly in front of the Beach Club in Anchor Bay. You will require mask, snorkel and fins to participate, which are available from the Beach Club.
Beach Snorkelling
There is an abundance of reef snorkelling in Anchor Bay, in front of the Resort, as well as at Sunset Beach and Watson's Bay where large concentrations of giant clams can be viewed, both within short walking distance from the Resort.
Guide for Snorkellers
Whilst Lizard Island offers a variety of snorkelling for the novice through to the very experienced, it is also important to highlight the following points to ensure an enjoyable and safe experience.
- Snorkelling and swimming is permitted off any beach however the Lagoon area is restricted by the tides. Tide times are posted on the Activities Board at the Beach Club and briefs on restrictions are always given before any organised snorkel activity.
- Watch your buoyancy so that you do not drag your fins on the coral and never stand on the coral.
- Do not snorkel or swim alone or out of sight to family and friends
Snorkelling is generally a safe activity; however this exercise can aggravate certain medical conditions such as asthma and heart conditions. You should only participate in the activity with this understanding.
