Evening activity – screening of the Batavia story

Pot Pull

Day activities
• Visit Batavia’s graveyard on Beacon Island. Also known as the Island of the Angry ghosts. This is the island where most of the murders took place in the Batavia story – a truly somber but fascinating piece of the Abrolhos Islands history. It is now home to numerous seabirds.

• If the swell is <1.5m then an unforgettable snorkel awaits today – Snorkel on the wreck site of the Batavia that was wrecked on the reef in 1629. Whilst not much of the hull remains the jettisoned canons, anchors and ballast stones are intact in 4-8 meters of water. On a calm day we are also able to offer a viewing from the glass bottom boats.

• If the swell is >1.5m then we will snorkel on the coral reef around Beacon Island

Anchor overnight at the Big Pigeon Island mooring
