Snorkeling is simply the best in Fiji. There are so many places to explore. With its warm crystal clear waters, amazing coral reefs and heaps of marine life, snorkeling in Fiji is great.

Fiji is often referred as the ‘Soft Coral Capital of the World’.  May through October is the best months for snorkeling and the underwater visibility is superb at over 30 meters.  I believe there is no such place as the best location for snorkeling because there is such a wide variety of marine life everywhere in Fiji. There is something special and unique that makes snorkeling in Fiji waters a great experience with its reef system well preserved.

On the main island of Viti Levu, there are a number of good snorkeling sites along the Coral Coast and even Pacific Harbour.  Dive Away Fiji dive company based in Coral Coast  can take you to some great spots along Coral Coast for snorkeling and diving. At Pacific Harbour you will get to see the extinct volcano crater known as Beqa Lagoon. In the outer island near Mamanuca Group and Yasawas, it is great to snorkel and dive too. It is always important to wear t/shirt and lots of sunscreen while in the water. We should also be careful not to touch or hold coral or any other form of marine life. This helps preserve Fiji’s underwater ecosystem, and you also may not know if something is poisonous. Snorkeling at night can be a unique experience too.
