About this activity
This experience is for CONFIDENT SWIMMERS ONLY. If you are NOT CONFIDENT, we strongly recommend the Private One-on-One Experience
Join fellow ocean lovers on this open group snorkel tour at Shelly Beach, one of Sydney’s most iconic marine sanctuaries.
Explore the perfect mix of adventure and connection with crystal-clear waters, vibrant marine life and postcard views.
All participants must be able to swim unassisted and confidently in the ocean.
What you will do
Meet your qualified guide at Shelly Beach, one of Sydney’s most sheltered and scenic snorkel spots. After a short safety briefing, your guide fits your mask and snorkel, provides a rash vest, and offers a flotation aid (pool noodle) for extra comfort. We begin in the shallows to check fit and technique before making a relaxed swim along the reef edge inside the protected bay. Moving at an easy pace with regular surface stops, your guide points out local species and shares tips for spotting marine life often including Eastern Blue Gropers, schools of reef fish, rays, and much more. The route is chosen on the day to match conditions and group ability, keeping to calm areas for the best visibility and a stress-free experience. This is an open-group experience designed for confident ocean swimmers who can swim unassisted. In-water supervision is provided throughout; marine life sightings vary with weather, season, and visibility.
