Scuba Diving In Havelock  Barefoot

From February until April each year, yoga courses are taught in an open-air pavilion set on a hill high above the resort with spectacular views of the rolling canopy of forest and the aquamarine sea.

Escorted nature walks can be arranged with a days notice so that guests can enjoy walking through the forest spotting birds, butterflies, small mammals and the occasional reptile. Wild orchids, fruit and other tropical plants abound. There could be a bit of scrambling - up steep inclines, but your escort will help you negotiate the trickier sections. Easier walks can be arranged for guests with children. A splash pool at the resort is a great respite for kids after a nature walk.

Snorkelling gear is available at the resort for guests looking for a little more adventure – right outside our doorstep on Beach No. 7 or a short walk through the forest to the secluded ‘Blue Cove’. A bit further afield, an exciting ride on a local dunghi (boat) will bring you to Elephant Beach with a healthy coral reef, calm waters, and teeming with tropical reef fish – ideal for snorkelers. 

If you have a mind to catch your meal, then a spot of hook and line fishing can be quite a relaxing way to do it. Guests can rent out the barefoot dunghi for a sunset fishing trip, or better still go out at night(only moonlit nights) for a memorable experience.

Deep-sea game fishing trips are available from December - April each year. Daily trips are available with professional crew and tackle having experience in local waters. Trips are available for novices and experts.

With a little more adrenalin in mind, guests can sign up for a dive course at our sister PADI dive resort, Barefoot Scuba, located at Beach No. 3. Certified divers may book dive trips in and around Havelock. Dive trips further afield to the well-known but relatively unmapped sites can be organized with a little advance planning.

If you would like to explore the mangrove eco-systems around Havelock and its neighbouring islands yourself, then rent one of our kayaks from the Jetty at the dive centre. Between January & April the waters are calm and flat, making kayaking easy and fun. Groups of two kayaks traveling together are a minimum.

Last, you can go swimming with Rajan, our resort's very own elephant, in the waters off Beach No. 7. Spend time with him underwater (appointments at Rajan’s discretion), or feed him his breakfast each day - a whole banana tree.
