      Essential Information

      Is it safe?
      Yes! You’ll be provided with safety instructions from our experienced guides who’ve spent hundreds of hours getting to know the resident school of sharks. Guides will be in the water with you the entire time and will closely monitor the sharks behaviour to ensure your safety.

      How many sharks will I see?
      Numbers vary but it is common to see multiple sharks. As sharks are wild animals we cannot guarantee sightings, however we have a 95%+ success rate of seeing them.

      What if I’m not a good swimmer, haven’t snorkelled before or don’t want to snorkel but my travelling companion does?
      Buoyancy aids are available for less confident swimmers and because these sharks prefer shallow waters there’s no necessity to dive under the water to secure a thrilling view.
      Non-snorkellers can join the day but sit out the snorkelling experience by booking the Barefoot Kuata Day Cruise.

      What type of sharks will I see?
      There are two main species of sharks encountered. White Tip Reef Sharks and Black Tip Reef Sharks, both are common in the tropical warm waters of the South Pacific. They can grow to a length of up to 1.8 metres although under the water they appear 25% larger due to a snorkelling face mask's optical illusion. Whitetips are the dominant species and are an inquisitive shark not frightened to check you out while Blacktips are by contrast timid and will shy away if they feel threatened.

      What to bring
      Cash or credit/debit card for optional purchases
      Swimwear and towel
      Sunscreen and hat
