The Batiki Project

One activity

Reef snorkel

This is the stop inside the reef. The resort boat runs to a timetable, and a guide from that boat goes in with the room. Masks and fins are on the boat.

A barrier reef rings Batiki, with a channel on the north side of the island. The boat puts in on the sea side of that reef, where the sand is shallow and the coral begins. The lagoon in the middle of the island is brackish, so the snorkel stays in the sea.

Guests look. Fins stay off the coral. If a turtle comes past, the guide keeps the group back.
