One of the best snorkeling spots among the many other best spots in Labuan Bajo! It is a short distance from the mainland of Labuan Bajo, so it can certainly be reached easily using a speedboat or ship. Use the best and most comfortable snorkeling equipment you have! And don't forget to prepare your underwater action camera too. Prioritize safety, and ask your speedboat captain or ship crew. Is it safe to snorkel or not? Because it is not uncommon for this area to also have strong currents. If you feel you are not able to swim and snorkel, do water activities using a life-jacket and also with the assistance of an expert boat crew/guide. This spot is worth visiting and capturing! Another suggestion, please do not snorkel by stepping on coral or touching any animals. Take care of their preservation.
