Important Note on Snorkeling Gear

For the protection of coral reefs, fins may not be provided and are discouraged by the Kenya Wildlife Authority. Coral reefs are delicate and easily damaged by contact, especially when stepped on—yet they take years to grow.

Only guides may use fins for safety purposes, assisting guests during snorkeling and swimming. Thank you for helping us preserve our marine ecosystems.
