Yal-Ku Lagoon

The calm, clear Yal-Ku Lagoon is perfect for beginner snorkelers. Multi-colored tropical fish are everywhere – if you’re lucky you might catch a glimpse of the huge king-parrot fish – along with interesting coral formations. The lagoon’s mixture of fresh and salt water is wonderfully refreshing after a long day at the beach. Yal-Ku is a very special ecosystem, so please help to protect it by not wearing sunscreen or feeding any of the fish.
