Planning for Snorkelling in Fiji

Frequently Asked Questions

  • When is the best time to snorkel in Fiji ?

    Fiji snorkelling is good all year around.  However, the visibility is best between May to December when the water is cooler  (between 24 - 28 degrees)

  • Is snorkelling in Fiji safe?

    Snorkel trips on boats from resorts are almost always with PADI or SSI qualified snorkelling guides.  Inflatables can be requested by those not confident in the water. 

  • What marine life can I see in Fiji ?

    Fiji's coral reefs contain the highest amount of marine biodiversity on earth.  The marine life encompasses an incredible range of colour, shape and form.  The reefs are filled with herbivores like parrotfish,  small damsel fish living in large schools who dart in and out of corals or anemones, predator fish such as groupers, wrasse, trevally, cornetfish, rays... the list is endless

  • Should I bring my own snorkelling gear?

    Our resorts all have equipment for hire should you wish to avoid carrying snorkelling gear on your travels.  However, it is nice to know your mask doesn't leak and your flippers are comfortable.

  • Protecting myself from the sun whilst snorkelling?

    We recommend bringing a lightweight wetsuit or at least a rash vest as well as 'reef safe' suntan lotion (ingredients of only mineral UV blockers such as oxide and titaniu, dioxide)
