Short guided snorkel or glass-bottom boat trip near Agatti lagoon to see corals and reef fish — ideal first immersion to judge visibility and current. Operators typically run trips 8:30am–5:00pm; check tide and operator schedules.
Leisurely walk along the lagoon edge to watch the sun dip; perfect for couples and photos. Beaches are open all day, but dusk offers calm, mosquito-free breezes.
