Activity Details
Low tide on Hayman Island reveals 100 metres of beachfront shoreline scattered with coral, sea shells, and native marine life. Wade through shallow waters and feel the sand on your feet as you explore pools habited by creatures including Sand Dollars, Hermit Crabs, Sand-shifting Sea Stars, Sea Cucumbers, Cowtail Rays, Giant Clams and more.
If you look closely at any shell on the sand flats, no matter how small, you will likely find a hermit crab inside. Hermit Crabs can range in size anywhere from 15cm to 0.5cm. We ask that all of our guests refrain from collecting sea shells to take home – you never know whose habitat you may be disrupting and our crabs love their Hayman Island home.
