Snorkelling Jervis Bay
Snorkelling is a fun, relaxing and exciting activity that allows you to become a part of a fascinating underwater world. Each snorkelling experience provides opportunities to explore, learn and grow as you as you begin to understand the complex relationships occurring in the marine ecosystems encountered.
Why Jervis Bay?
Jervis Bay is an expansive oceanic bay fringed with stunning white sand beaches and pristine native bushland. The bay is peppered with rocky outcrops/headlands and walking trails that provide convenient access to an abundance of shallow temperate water reefs that are teaming with life. Many of these reefs are protected from fishing as they form parts of the Jervis Bay Marine Park. As a result, these areas are a delight for underwater observers as they are bursting with life.
To add to the allure of Jervis Bay, is the consistent presence of crystal clear water, shelter from most prevailing weather and very forgiving water temperatures. Considering all of the above, it is fair to say Jervis Bay is the perfect place to begin your snorkelling journey.

“Scott and the team are true professionals—highly experienced, deeply knowledgeable, and completely attuned to the local environment. Their guided snorkel tour is thoughtfully designed, bringing you into an underwater world you would never discover on your own, all with exceptional attention to safety and comfort.
The locations they choose are genuine hidden treasures. As a long‑time snorkel lover who has explored many spots across Australia, I can honestly say this was one of the best snorkeling experiences I’ve ever had. Matt, our guide, was incredible. Even though I’ve been snorkeling at Murrays for years, there were so many species I had never noticed before. Matt pointed them out, named them, and explained their behaviours with such enthusiasm that it completely transformed the experience.
He also shared practical knowledge—how to handle swells, read tide changes, and navigate narrow channels between the ocean and shore. These are things that had held me back from exploring more remote spots, and I left feeling empowered and more confident in the water.
And then… the picnic! It was a wholesome, delightful experience all on its own. Emma’s cake was so delicious I had several slices without even realising it. Baby Bon was the icing on the cake (not literally!). His big blue eyes quietly watching the group while Emma made sure everyone felt welcomed and included during the post‑snorkel debrief added such a warm, family‑like feeling to the day.
I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to witness the magnificent underwater world—whether you’re a seasoned snorkeler or a complete beginner. Get ready to be absolutely blown away.”
