I'd take them with you Sarah. You have to walk down some wet, slippery steps to get to the water. I think you need all the extra grip you can get on them!

When we were in Lifou DH nicked his foot on some coral while we were snorkelling there and it took a long time to heal :(

Hi Sarah - yes i would wear some kind of reef shoe as some of the coral is very sharp (did see a few people cut their feet) and as MsMinx said the steps to the snorkeling area are very slippery - but it is a beautiful area

Are they the dark blue ones with the black soles?

If so that's what I had :p $8 is a good price - might have to pop into Big W this week and see if they're still on special hehe!

Creeky - shame you have to go back to work so soon :( I can only imagine what the 24 y/o got up to while you were away LOL!;)

Hi Sarah,

We went to Lifou on our cruise recently. We did the snorkelling and it was fantastic. As everyone has said - definitely take reef shoes. I also wished I had an underwater camera as I saw some great fish. The coral was white (not as nice as the Barrier Reef) but some really colourful fish.

We also took our own snorkels which we bought quite cheaply (saved us heaps as they are $40 on the boat plus a deposit) and I took a $2 swim ring (yep - junk shop shopping again) just to float around on top of the coral on.

Hope you have a great time. I wish I was going with you.

Hi Cheryl

What a fabulous video!! Bought back great memories of April 2007 cruise. Many thanks!!:)

cheers!!

Karen;)

Just be aware that there are no change room facilities at the snorkelling beach. So you need to change at the toilets at the market which are pretty good, or do the "change with a towel wrapped around you dance".:D

Wow that was a great video! Thanks! We will be doing this next Tuesday - yeah! :D
