Snorkel and swim Maria Island's pristine marine protected area. Explore the unique sandstone reef at the Painted Cliffs and come face to face with Tasmania's famous 10lb southern rock lobster (crayfish). The snorkelling at Maria Island is shallow and easily accessible for those with swimming and snorkelling experience.
Hire a snorkelling kit while visiting Maria Island for the day or overnight. Prices are reduced to offset the small fee charged for luggage on the Maria Island Ferry. Snorkelling kits are provided in a small dive bag and include a quality silicone mask and snorkel, moulded fins, long sleeve neoprene vest and dive flag/float.
Snorkelling kits can also be hired for use during our cruise + walk day tour. Snorkelling can be undertaken while the boat is at anchor during lunch or during the afternoon whilst ashore at Maria Island. Due to time constraints, snorkelling during the afternoon would be in lieu of the guided walk at Darlington.
Please hire long sleeve neoprene vests separately and your vest to the snorkel kit booking. If you will be using your own wetsuit, you will not need to hire the neoprene vest. We require the use of either the vest or a wetsuit to provide buoyancy while snorkelling.
