Have fun experiencing snorkelling with marine biologist and expert instructor Will Jones from the Marine Discovery Centre. You'll learn to use the equipment properly and learn effective snorkelling techniques while discovering and identifying the local marine life in the quieter waters of Little Bay.

Look out for Angelfish, anemones and sea wrasse while you’re experiencing the diverse marine life in these protected reefs in Sydney’s Eastern suburbs. BYO snorkel and mask recommended. Fins provided.

Meet at the Prince Henry Centre. We will walk down to Little Bay following an introductory talk on the marine life in the area and a briefing on the snorkel equipment. Wetsuits recommended. 14 people per tour.
