Pigeon Island Snorkelling
Pigeon Island Snorkelling
We'll pick you up from your hotel in Nilaveli at 1:30 pm and head to the beach. When we arrive, we'll board a speedboat and sail off to our snorkelling spot.
We'll cruise the waters of the Bay of Bengal for 20 minutes until we reach Pigeon Island, one of the most spectacular nature reserves in the area.
Then we'll get kitted out in our snorkelling equipment and dive into the sea to explore the incredible underwater world. We'll spend two hours snorkelling in these crystal clear waters, discovering its spectacular coral reefs and colourful fish.
At the end of this unforgettable activity, we'll head back to the mainland and drop you off at your hotels for around 4:30 pm.
