From the intricate beauty of leafy sea dragons to sea lions, harmless Port Jackson sharks, and a kaleidoscope of fish, corals, and sponges, South Australia’s beaches, reefs and jetties offer a treasure trove of marine life that never ceases to amaze.
Every year, from early spring to mid-autumn, EMS hosts a series of snorkel tours and events across the state. These experiences provide participants with the unique opportunity to explore marine parks and uncover the colourful secrets of South Australia’s underwater world.
March 2025 Events:
- Sunday 2 March 2025 – Port Noarlunga
- Sunday 9 March 2025 – Port Willunga
- Sunday 23 March 2025 – Second Valley
There will also be a night snorkel (watch the reef truly come alive when the sun sets) on Saturday 12 April 2025 at Port Noarlunga.
Age Guide:
EMS snorkel tours are designed for all ages and abilities, with small groups (1 guide to 3 participants) tailored to match experience and ensure everyone feels comfortable in the water. Led by nationally accredited snorkel guides and supported by student and qualified marine biologists, these tours are perfect for anyone aged 5 and above who can swim at 25 metres. Floatation devices are also available for added confidence.
Ticket Inclusions and Safety Measures:
- Equipment Provided: Ticket prices include quality snorkel gear and wetsuits, available in sizes from 5XL to junior size 4. Participants may also bring their own equipment.
