What To Expect
You don’t need to be a Scuba Diver to get to know the fascinating world underwater and its splendor. Equipped with mask, snorkel and fins you float on the surface and watch the vibrant coral reefs, rocks and coral fishes below. An intense experience and unforgettable moments.
Nilaveli Snorkeling at the famous Pigeon Island Marine Park is the absolute highlight at your stay at the Nilaveli Beach. We provide daily snorkeling trips from our Divinguru Nilaveli diving centre to the PIGEON ISLAND within a boat ride of around 10 minutes and a duration of around 2-3 hours snorkeling from the shore around the island. Around the Pigeon Island there are a lot of hard corals and you can see a lot of different coral fish of the Indian Ocean, sometime turtles and also Black Tip Reef Sharks in the shallow water. We provide all necessary snorkelling gear (mask, snorkel, fins) on request.
