Snorkeling our House Reef with baby black tip reef sharks

The pristine state of the sea surrounding our resort island means that the reefs grow right up to the surface of the water, making them perfect for snorkelers. Our stunning House Reef is accessible from the jetty, the Camera Room, or the steps of your Water Cottage accommodation. The House Reef will treat snorkelers to frequent sightings of schooling horse-eyed jacks, hunting octopus, and huge schools of bumphead parrotfish. The North Lagoon is a great place to hob-nob with gentle green turtles feeding on seagrass. You’re also likely to run into baby black tip reef sharks in the shallows.

Book a snorkeling package to experience guided trips to the local surrounding reefs, which are on offer twice daily. Drift through the spectacularly colorful Gorgonian Passage, hover amongst 6-meter Oceanic Mantas, or venture out after dark to discover the reef’s wild ‘night-life,’ including the newly-discovered ‘walking’ Epaulette Shark. Unguided snorkeling on the House Reef is of course always available. And be sure to try scooter snorkeling!

“Our experience snorkeling at Misool Resort in 2020 was easily one of the best of our lives. Misool is notable in that they treat snorkelers with equal respect and service as divers. Truly, this snorkeling heaven should be at the top of any snorkeler’s list and is one of those rare places that we expect will get better with time. How wonderful is that?
