Overview

Safari Blue

The day starts at 9am at the Marine Office, where you pick up your marine park ticket before boarding. The first stop is a snorkeling spot in clear water with a wide variety of tropical fish. From there, the boat continues to Garoda Beach, a white sand beach with turquoise water, where you have free time to swim, rest, or browse the local stalls selling crafts and traditional clothing. Lunch is served on a nearby island mainly seafood and local specialities, with alternatives available depending on dietary needs. During lunch, a Giriama traditional dance performance gives a glimpse into the local coastal culture. Depending on the day, a short canoe ride through the mangrove may also be on offer before heading back.
