The warm waters, excellent underwater visibility conditions, extensive reefs, large but isolated rock pools and abundant fish life all contribute to an exciting snorkeling experience in the area. The most popular locations for snorkeling are:
Ponta Madejanine 4,86 Km north of Malongane
Ponta Mimoli 7,82 Km north of Malongane
Madejanine is particular interesting at low tide as a result of the very large rock pools that emerge and run out to the easterly reef at low tide. Dropping off a boat and snorkeling into the rock pool area can also be an exciting experience.
Mimoli is a relatively well protected bay with numerous underwater rocks and reefs in the vicinity. It also has as a dominant rock peninsula jutting out from the southern part of shoreline which can be particularly easily identified at low tide. It is a very good surf fishing spot and therefore many of the smaller game fish (e.g. Kingfish, Pompano etc) as well as their prey (Half beaks, Garfish etc) are very often seen whilst snorkeling.
Snorkeling at Ponta do Ouro and Ponta Malongane (off the main rock peninsula on the southern end) can be good depending on currents and the wind conditions.
For the more adventurous snorkeler, excellent snorkeling can be found off Techobanini (11,87 Km from Malongane). There are very extensive shallow water reefs which extend over a very large area, however a boat is required to get there.
