Blue Lagoon
Heaven on earth!
That is the best and the most accurate way to describe the blue lagoon.

The blue lagoon is also famous for being a black tips sharks nursery, but don't worry they are completely armless

The next destination is the pink sands where you will also enjoy the first snorkeling opportunity of the day in the "coral garden". After a little walking and snorkeling it is time for eating.
An example of lunch is Barbecue chicken, freshly caught grilled fish, rice salad and the popular cooked in leaves coconut bread.
After lunch you will have some time for relaxing or doing some more snorkeling in the blue lagoon.
On the way back we will do a stop to see the sharks and, depending on the conditions, you can also swim surrounded by black tips and lemon sharks

Frequently asked questions
Will you come pick me up at my hotel?
Yes, the pick up is included. Just write the name of your hotel in the booking form.
Can I do the excursion before catching my flight?
The excursion to the blue lagoon is a "whole day excursion" that means that we leave around 8.30am and come back around 4.30pm. If you are boarding the 6.30pm flight then yes, it is possible. In other cases it is only possible if you do a private excursion, that way we can adapt the program to your need.
I booked an excursion to blue lagoon, is it automatically confirmed?
Unfortunately we cannot confirm the excursion to the blue lagoon unless we have reached the minimum amount of passenger. If you want to be sure to go to the Blue Lagoon I suggest you to book the "Blue Lagoon Guaranteed Excursion" in that case it is confirmed even if not reached the minimum amount of passenger.
What should I bring?
You should bring your sunscreen, reef shoes and if you want a towel. We provide food and drinks and a mask/snorkel although, for best fitting, I suggest you to bring your own.
