Description

Begin your marine adventure at Slipway, where you’ll meet your guide and receive a thorough safety and snorkeling briefing. Learn how to use the equipment, understand ocean safety, and receive instructions on protecting the reef ecosystem. Board a local boat for a 20–25 minute ride to Bongoyo Island. Once you arrive, gear up with high-quality snorkeling equipment and follow your snorkeling guide to the first highlight: the Bongoyo coral reef garden. Swim among colorful fish, sea stars, and living coral in amazingly clear water. Next, continue to the shallow shipwreck sitting between 4 and 8 meters deep, making it safe and accessible for all experience levels. Your guide will show you the best viewing points, explain the history of the wreck, and help you spot hidden marine species. After snorkeling, enjoy your island relaxation time—swim, sunbathe, explore the beach, or take photos. A delicious fresh fruit platter (pineapple, watermelon, mango, and seasonal fruits) and cold bottled water will be served to refresh you before your journey back. Return to Slipway by boat, completing a memorable and refreshing marine adventure.
