A half-day marine excursion from Havelock with a guided snorkelling session in clear reef waters near South Button Island — ideal for families and first-time snorkellers.
The South Button Island Reef Explorer is a half-day marine excursion from Havelock built around a guided snorkelling session in clear reef waters near South Button Island. South Button is known for its clear waters and reef-rich snorkelling zones, making it a strong half-day choice for travellers who want a structured marine experience without an extended offshore crossing. The journey begins from Havelock and heads into open water toward South Button's designated snorkelling zones. Upon arrival, the crew conducts a safety briefing and supports guests through a supervised snorkelling session. Marine life varies by season and visibility. Reef fish and coral formations are commonly seen, while turtles and rays may be spotted occasionally depending on conditions. Coral contact is strictly prohibited.
