Just slip in
Snorkelling needs nothing more than a mask, a pair of fins and the will to put your face in the water. No tank, no certification, no course. We carry the gear, and because Ikigai anchors in clear, sheltered water, the reef is usually right off the back step — you swim out and you’re there.
Reefs no day-tour reaches
Because we sail by the cabin and anchor where we like, you snorkel spots the day-boats never bother with — coral heads, drop-offs, sandbanks where rays glide past. Most days you’ll share them with nobody. Float over a reef left alone, watch a turtle graze or a reef shark drift below, then climb back aboard for lunch. It’s the easiest door there is into the underwater world.
