Summer experience in winter time

You’re lucky if you get to see about 5 fish, and we saw probably over 20! quite some snappers and some red moki. Magical to see sea life passing by under your feet in this little paradise. Thanks also for the tip to go to Mathesons bay, it was a perfect filler for the rest of the day ☺️

We're glad you enjoyed the tip to visit Mathesons Bay as well; it's a hidden secret perfect to check out on your visit. Thanks for choosing Clearyak, and we hope to see you again soon!

Quite Fun but Overpriced

Quite fun but didn’t see that many fish and we thought it was a bit overpriced
