Coral Nursery

---

The resort elevated its efforts to the next stage of rescue and rehabilitation by building a Coral Nursery to facilitate these objectives. Believed to be the first of its kind in Southeast Asia, it offers guests the opportunity to participate in the unique and inspiring activity of growing new corals which, after 4 to 12 months of nurturing, will be returned to the sea.  

Coral Experiences

---

Coral Transplanting

This hands-on activity begins with an educational talk about corals and the importance of their ecosystem, followed by the transplanting of live coral onto new substrates until they can be relocated for long-term survival and growth.

Coral Clearing

During low tides, our resort team spends a couple of hours removing loose, dead coral as well as other debris caught in the reef. Guests are welcome to join in this meaningful activity. For tide times and heights, contact our water sports center.

Young Marine Biologist

Teenagers are invited to spend a day with our Marine and Coral Curator, learning everything from pumping and filtering operations, to taking temperatures and pH tests, to assisting in coral transplanting sessions.

Private Guided Snorkel

Because visibility of the reef is only occasionally good, snorkeling provides the opportunity to get close and admire the many treasures that exist in our Coral Nursery.

Coral Nursery Feeding

Best suited for younger guests, this activity focuses on the science behind hatching brine shrimp. Participants feel close to our project by assisting with feeding the nursery.

Marine Life Laboratory

Browse the Marine Life Laboratory with one of Andaman's Marine Science students. Discover unusual creatures that frequent our 8000-year-old reef. See tiny marine life under a microscope and see our Tiger Tail seahorse hunting for microscopic prey.

Morning Session 10am - 12pm.

Coral Reef Walk

A marine biologist takes guests to see the Andaman’s amazing coral reef, estimated to be between 6,000 and 8,000 years old.
