Your Experience
Board a fast catamaran that swiftly transports you to the state‑of‑the‑art pontoon at Moore Reef, located approximately 50 kilometers offshore. Upon arrival, the multi-level pontoon welcomes you with its expansive sundeck and an array of water activities. Dive into guided snorkeling sessions amidst vibrant coral formations, or opt for a glass-bottom boat or semi-submersible tour to observe the underwater wonders without getting wet.
A highlight for many is the giant 30-meter spiral waterslide—the only one of its kind on the reef—providing endless fun for both kids and adults. Additionally, the enclosed ocean pool offers a safe environment for younger guests to enjoy the water.
Throughout your 4-hour stay, engage in interactive marine biology talks and get hands-on with the touch-tank display, deepening your understanding of the reef's diverse inhabitants. When it's time to refuel, a generous buffet lunch awaits, featuring a selection of tropical dishes.
For those seeking to elevate their experience, optional upgrades are available, including introductory or certified scuba diving, the Seawalker helmet dive—a guided underwater walking tour at a depth of 3.5 meters—or guided snorkeling tours.
