Going snorkelling at Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep) by boat is a memory that will never fade. You appear to be entering another world below the waves. There is anticipatory joy as you sail through the bright turquoise sea; you know that you have come to something special. When the boat slows, usually close to Elephant Beach or one of the uncommercial reefs, you peer off the side of your boat, seeing the bright blue water while also starting to feel a sense of calm. As you slide into the ocean, you dive into a colourful underwater garden. The coral formations shift like living sculptures, and colourful fish dart in and out of the nooks and crannies with fascinating curiosity.

It is peaceful and exhilarating at the same time, especially considering the environmental health of some of the reefs - these are some of the healthiest coral reefs that you will see. And the short ride on the boat adds some thrill to the day, with paradise in front of you contrasting against the lush prefabricated greenery along the open horizon. Regardless of your past snorkelling experiences —it's your first time, or next boat snorkel trip— the guided trip allows you to just relax and enjoy. The trained instructors guide the entire experience with your comfort in mind. This is not just a kit and the activity - it becomes a memory for you to cherish long after you have dried off and returned to land.

Why Havelock Islands are the Best Choice for Snorkelling?

The remarkable Swaraj Dweep (Havelock Island) is one of the last places on the planet that still has a functioning ocean and is considered one of the finest places in the world to snorkel.

What tourists particularly love about this snorkel experience is that it can be relatively hassle-free and buddy friendly to novice snorkelers, and is generally warm water, light current and good visibility on most days, which makes it easy to look underwater and breathe through a snorkel. The calm water and moderate temperature makes it an ideal location for snorkelling.

  • Famous sites like Elephant Beach provide shallow reefs right next to the shore so it doesn’t take long to be surrounded by life.
  • There is a stillness here too that enhances that sensation of being miles away from the hustle and bustle of the daily grind, time seems to stand still, and the only thing that really matters is the sound of gentle waves lapping at the shore.
  • Snorkelling in Havelock is not simply a thing to do, it is transformative, a way of being one with nature, feeling small not in a bad way, but small in the richest sense and in awe! That feeling is what a sense of wonder is, and that will stay with you, long after you leave the water.
