The Aquarium’s calm, vibrant waters are protected from the surf by huge granite boulders the rugged coastline is littered with.
Its crystal clear waters are ideal for keen snorkellers to spend hours viewing the region’s incredible marine life including curious fish and crabs and colourful coral in their natural habitat.
Visitors to The Aquarium are becoming more frequent as word gets out about the hidden gem and say travellers need to ‘be prepared for a bit of a hike down’ to get to the pool.

While the track has small obstacles like protruding rocks and exposed tree roots, one travel blogger, Alex, said ‘you won’t even need your hiking boots’ to brave the ‘gravel off-shoot’.
