Snorkeling vs. Diving Rainbow Reef: A Tale of Two Experiences

John G. Crane suggested that while diving the Rainbow Reef is likely a superior experience, snorkeling at Honeymoon Island offers a more accessible and shallower alternative. Snorkeling trips to Rainbow Reef are priced at approximately $25 USD, while diving costs around $100 USD.

So I think it's probably a better experience to dive Rainbow Reef. But for snorkeling, the Honeymoon Island, it's closer to shore is fantastic spot.
John G. Crane
And that was 55 Fijian dollars, which is about $25 US dollars to go and do a couple of snorkeling with a guide.

Or about $100 US for diving.
