Overview
Half-Day Snorkeling Tour by Small Boat: Explore the coral heads in the eastern lagoon, where giant clams, reef fish, and sometimes sea turtles can be seen. A second snorkeling stop is made around Akaiami. Groups are small; ideal for those who prefer to spend more time in the water than on a long lagoon tour.
