First Site – Upolu Reef: You will be amazed and impressed at the Wonder Wall on the Outer Edge of Upolu Reef.

It is famous for its amazing variety of hard and soft coral, in addition to fans, giant clams, turtles and a huge diversity and abundance of reef fish of all sizes! The crew will personally care for you and teach you how to snorkel if it is your first time. If you can’t swim, we can use flotation jackets to keep you floating and a crew member will enter the water with you, carrying a life ring for you to hold on to and we can do all the hard work, whilst you relax and look at the beautiful marine life below!

Prior to lunch, we have a permit that allows us to feed the fish for your chance to get some excellent photos! We often get some of the larger species of fish coming in to take advantage of this free feast!

Lunch is served at approximately 12:30pm in a self-serve buffet style. Enjoy a sumptuous feast of smoked salmon, chilled prawns, cold chicken and meats, four different salads and fresh breads. While you dine, we cruise slowly to the second site at Upolu Reef.

Second Site – Upolu Reef:This beautiful sand island is covered by water at high tide and exposed at low tide. It is possible for you to make the first footprints in the sand as we drop you off so that you can continue to explore the underwater world. Upolu cay is surrounded by stunning turquoise water and a natural aquarium, which showcases many types of corals, reef fishes, such as the infamous “Nemo”, stingrays and sea stars. Due to its shallow waters it is perfect for beginners and those who are a little nervous. You can snorkel and dive here: all necessary assistance is provided to ensure that every guest can enjoy the reef.

After a full six hours of unrushed pleasure on the reef and cay, cruise home while our crew serve a sumptuous selection of tropical fruit, cheese, crackers and a decadent cake platter.
