Full description

Spend time with the fishes on this snorkeling adventure. Wave Break has one of the highest amounts of fish in Australia and is a fantastic site for snorkeling. There are over 50 different species of fish with depths ranging from  0–15 meters. Many of the fish school in their hundreds and are very people friendly.

This site is ideal for both the beginner and the advanced due to the location there is minimum swell. All snorkellers can be assisted with a guide on the basics of snorkeling and the areas that are best for photography and fish feeding.

Snap some cool photos of the fishes underwater and hand-feed the fish.

Take a break from snorkeling and pend some time exploring what Wave Break has to offer, including a beautiful stretch of the beach secluded from other boating activities. Or float on a boogie board with view holes to watch the sea life pass you by. 

Return hotel transfers from selected Surfers Paradise hotels. The duration of this activity from pickup to drop-off is 4 hours.

Super friendly and helpful guides! The water was murky due to windy weather (can't be upset about something we can't control!) but my partner and I still had a fabulous time feeding all the different fish that approached us. Very relaxing and beautiful catamaran ride too!
