Stony Point's reef is a rich habitat not only for Giant Australian Cuttlefish but also a diverse range of marine life, including vibrant plant life, colourful sponges, fish, sea lions, rays, whales, and dolphins. Embark on a guided tour lasting up to 90 minutes, including gearing up in warm wetsuits, a safety briefing, snorkelling, and a debriefing session.

This experience is designed for both adults and children (5 years and above) who can swim at least 25 meters and tread water. Children under 15 must be accompanied and supervised in the water by a paying adult, who is also a participant in the tour.

Snorkelling occurs in water depths ranging from 1-5 meters, mostly staying close to the shore to ensure the best views of the colourful displays under sunlight. Our small groups, led by experienced guides and marine biologists, guarantee an immersive and educational adventure. We provide warm wetsuit, mask, snorkel, fins, and PADI accredited guides.

Feel free to bring your own wetsuit and snorkel gear, and if you have special requirements or disabilities, let us know when booking for personalised assistance.

Arrive at Stony Point at least 30 minutes before your tour starts to complete the registration form and get fitted with your wetsuit and snorkel gear. All participants must wear a wetsuit.
