DAY TOURS - NIKKO BAY TOUR

This is an excellent tour for kids and adventurers. This well-sheltered bay holds pristine coral gardens with world-class snorkeling, hidden marine caves full of geologic wonders, and forgotten WWII bunkers and artifacts. When the tides are just right we're able to sneak through a marine tunnel into a normally inaccessible world called Disney Lake.

Nikko Bay is nestled by castle-like walls of the limestone rock islands providing calm water paddling undisturbed by wind, waves, surf or surge. This fortress also protects corals from physical damage, allowing for the multi-species assemblages to grow into an impressive array of “old growth coral forests.” In snorkel sites like Lettuce Coral Wall, Rembrandt's Cove, and Disney Bay, giant basket-like coral formations grow right up to the surface of the sea. We respect this showcase of nature's greatest accomplishments by not allowing the use of fins. Our naturalist tour guides will explain the ecological significance of these treasured coral forests.

As the best day care system nature can create, Nikko Bay 's delicate nature is an ideal habitat for baby reef fish. Snorkeling amongst ancient coral colonies our experienced guides lead guests to secret nursery sites where baby fish can live and grow before moving on to the outer reef.

Nikko Bay is also home to an awesome variety of limestone caves, marine tunnels, and natural archways. Paddling through the castle walls, one is left to wonder if nature herself designed the Rock Islands for the silent kayak. Sunken shipwrecks and forgotten bunkers, littered with artifacts, soundlessly beg us to reflect on the drama of the Second World War's Pacific Theatre.
